Shortly after the final whistle, restrained cheers ripple through the Allianz Arena in Munich. The reason is the tomato. This announces the draw of BVB in Stuttgart, which will put Bayern at the top of the Bundesliga ranking for at least another week.
The Bayern team currently has little reason to be happy. Yann Sommer and Co. followed the clear midweek defeat in the Champions League against ManCity on Saturday with a mediocre 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim. The German record champions are now under considerable pressure. And some exponents are really blowing off steam now.
“Definitely a big step backwards”
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel (49) draws a damning conclusion about the performance of his own team after the duel with Hoffenheim. “We didn’t have enough speed, too few tempo changes, we were too wrong,” says the coach, who was still “in shock” with his team in the premier class. But this time everything remained in debt. Compared to “Bild”, Tuchel adds: “We have to process that first, that is certainly a big step backwards.”
Bayern veteran Thomas Müller is also disappointed after the draw at home. The 33-year-old finds it “worrying” that the battle for the title is even dependent on the support of relegation candidate Stuttgart. “We were all a bit shocked by our own performance.” And he adds: “I think the coach should shake first.”
Matthäus takes Bayern bosses to account
For former Bayern star and contemporary Sky pundit Lothar Matthäus (62), Munich’s underperformance came with a statement. “It’s not just the results and performances that aren’t there on the pitch. If you don’t feel comfortable around it, that automatically transfers to the pitch.”
The list of shortcomings at FCB is indeed getting longer: the communication debacle surrounding the dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann, the subsequent mud fight in public, the lack of sporting successes in the league, cup and Champions League and finally the fist scandal between Sadio Mané and Leroy Sané (the latter had to play against Hoffenheim with a visibly swollen upper lip). Matthew gets very angry about this. “It also puts a strain on the team, the psyche. It’s all the little things that come together and that’s why it’s a turbulent time on the Isar.”
The next Bayern appearance will follow next Wednesday. Then you expect Manchester City for the quarter-final second leg. Despite the 0: 3 mortgage from the first leg, will Munich be able to make their own fans cheer? In the current state, that is more than doubtful.
