COLOGNE, GERMANY - MAY 27 2023: Steffen Baumgart after the match between 1. FC Koln and FC Bayern Munchen at RheinEnergieStadion (Orange Pictures)

Steffen Baumgart spoke to press following the 2:0 defeat to Freiburg on Sunday afternoon in which he spoke high praises of the young 19-year-old Köln full-back Max Finkgräfe.

The full-back achieved his first ever start for "Die Geißböcke" in the game against Freiburg registering appearances earlier in the season as a substitute.

He came off for Rasmus Carstensen in the second half shortly after Köln went 1-0 down.

In his post-match press conference, Köln coach Steffen Baumgart said: "Max has developed well in the past few months. He is quick and finds solutions to problems. It was a very positive performance."
