Bigger mistake I think leaving him to keep having to face Vinicius alone. Penalty won and scored by Vinicius.

That's why I said Bayern fans would have signed the 2-1, even if the 3-1 was possible with several chances.

Many comments against Bayern and Tuchel.
Here below one of the many, choosen random.
This is the beauty of football.
I already said that they started to play strong football after the contract termination was announced. I don't think it would have been the case without this new situation. But yes, I thought it's better to sack him right away.

Napoli made a great deal. He is horrible.

All Bayern CB's look weak: De Ligt, Uppamecano, Kim. All weak players or bad coaching?

2-2 FT. Advantage Madrid, so often they find a way, either they're just better, or they're not and they still triumph. One weak link is the reason today, but Kim should have been protected instead of left alone with Vinicius.

Kim was perfect in Napoli.
Nevertheless Napoli made a great deal.
No Italian team can refuse so much money (50m €) for a defender.

No Italian club can refuse so much money for pretty much any player.

The first two have great potential. I think in general Bayern would be better defensively if they had a real No. 6 (Tuchel called it Holding Six), which is not the case. It's sometimes difficult for a CB when there is too much space, but this Kim game was an individual disaster.

Experienced, smart player, sometimes a bit to slow. For a free transfer a very good move. Not a world class CB, but he can play two positions at a good level.

Thanks. I wonder if he might get into the England squad.

2-2 after the first leg ill take it.
Real is with a slight advantage but they have shown in the past that they can make the fans at Bernabeu bite their nails during a 2nd leg CL game.
