Bayern Munich (A) | Post Match Thread

[KS55]

Up to now we have about £97m CL money in the book (incl. market pool).
Finalists will earn another 13.7m each, the winner 4m on top.

Pfft, peanuts!
Next year they are spreading the money more, reducing the take at the top.

And Bayern were six inches away from being absolutely destroyed to finish a tie we were already leading 3-0.

He’s just trying to deflect attention away from his abysmal start to managing them.

Quite a drop from Lewandovski to Erica Chumpo Motiveless. Made his fame at Stoke on a wet Tuesday night.

It's official...



Tuchel is an arse.

‘HEEEEY YOOOUUU GUUUUUYS’!

Tbh most of the comments on the football itself (not the ref etc), Pep would probably agree with. He said himself afterwards that this was not a 4-1 tie, that he doesn’t feel better than Bayern just because we went through, that the champions league is always a “coin toss” and last year we lost the coin toss, this year we won it (so far). Tuchel’s tone/attitude I hate, but some of the points aren’t exactly false. It was fine margins and they probably did enough for about 4 goals over the 2 legs. But that’s what this competition is all about - moments. And in the big moments, we were there. It was in general a very closely contested tie but we were very solid and good in both boxes, particularly at home.

We were, as you say, good in both boxes and that is Bayern’s weakness. Very good in transition, quick and skilful, but relatively poor in both boxes. They need a better CB than Meccano and a better CF than Eric C-M.

He was injured for awhile, IIRC.

Can we rename them "Bye" rn Munich now?

On the way to winning one of their European Cups, Bayern got a bye in one of the rounds.

You can see why they would want Harry Kane.

He had a hamstring injury.

He started 14 of the first 17 Prem and CL games from the beginning of the season. Then got a hamstring injury at the World Cup and wasn’t available for 7 games and then wasn’t ready to start for another 5.

Then he started at Arsenal away and has played every minute of each Prem and CL game since.

Not the best performance, but the smart performance. If would be totally different game if Sane have scored.
Amazing game from Silva and Rodri. I like that Spainh a lot, what is he doing in the middle and how he offers a solution to our players, that's amazing,

I posted this in Ref Watch, but am I the only one that is convinced that Tuchel was trying to get sent off pretty much the entire match?

I reckon he wanted it to happen in the first half, probably hoping it would put his team in to siege mode, and also help him avoid rightful criticism of his managerial performance since taking over (because PASSION!).

Absolute Klopp shithouse tactic.

I actually commend the ref for not giving him what he wanted until it didn’t matter any more.

Yes, felt the same. Tactics Tom knew he had no chance.
