Eliminated in the semi-finals of the Champions League against Real Madrid on Wednesday, Bayern Munich is now guaranteed to have a blank season, which has not happened since 2012. Obviously, in a club where we had taken the habit of annihilating his opponents with a form of sadistic pleasure in recent years, it is difficult to have to be satisfied with a simple 2nd place in the Championship. However, the truth today is that Thomas Tuchel’s players can no longer hold on to anything else between now and the end of the season.
This Sunday, it was with a remodeled eleven that the German technician approached the match against Wolfsburg, which was also his last at the Allianz Arena. Thrown into the deep end for the occasion, the Croatian Lovro Zvonarek (19) scored his first goal very early (4th, 1-0), before Goretzka hit the nail on the head a few minutes later (13th). At the end of the match, Tuchel even offered playing time to his replacement goalkeeper, Daniel Peretz, as well as young Vinlof, to allow them to participate in the party. A controlled success for Bayern, who will have a final meeting next weekend to secure 2nd place ahead of Stuttgart.
