MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel heaped praise on his team despite their Champions League exit at the hands of Manchester City after a 1-1 draw in their quarter-final return leg in Germany on Wednesday dumped them out 4-1 on aggregate.
Tuchel, who took over from sacked Julian Nagelsmann in late March, has now seen his team crash out of two competitions in two weeks after they were also knocked out of the German Cup by Freiburg in the last eight.
"I am very satisfied with both games against Manchester City and with the way we presented ourselves today," Tuchel told reporters. The Bavarians had a string of chances in a strong first half on Wednesday and should have scored with Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala missing opportunities. "We had enough chances. But in order to beat the best team you need more than just 100%. You need also a bit of luck, a deflection, a set piece and you also have to make those golden chances you get."
