Bayern have mountain to climb to rescue season FMTNews FMTSports
BERLIN: Bayern Munich’s 3-0 Champions League defeat by Manchester City today has put them firmly on the backfoot ahead of next week’s quarterfinal return leg but coach Thomas Tuchel said he had “a crush” on his team with their commitment.
With their Champions League campaign now hanging by a thread it could be that next Wednesday Bayern and Tuchel suffer their second elimination in as many weeks.“I saw so many good things that I refuse to put the result in focus today. I was very proud of how we played. We were courageous. I kind of have a crush on this team.
While Tuchel has sufficient quality in the squad, he must somehow help end their many errors on the pitch, as was the case with defender Dayot Upamecano whose mistake led to City’s second goal.“Looking isolated at the result then it looks impossible . But it is football and anything can happen. We won’t give it away. It is far too important.”
Bayern, who host Hoffenheim on Saturday, are in top spot in the league, two points in front of second-placed Borussia Dortmund with seven games remaining.
