The Bavarians indeed had the opportunities to score with 17 attempted shots, but only Joshua Kimmich was able to find the fault at the end of the first period. And if he recognizes that his team was not up to par, particularly on a mental level, Tuchel was confident for the future. “We had a good week in training, but we weren’t ready. We need to ask ourselves why we started the meeting this way. We gave up very early, but I have confidence in my team. There’s no point in saying bad things about everything now.”, he added. Next, it will be a trip to Manchester United for the last day of the Champions League group stage.
