Thomas Müller still believes that Bayern Munich can overturn their deficit against Manchester City in the Cham…
“We believe we still have a chance – we have to get off to a good start – maybe lead 1-0 at halftime — we don’t have to go 3-0 up after 10 mins, but we need to score and keep it up — if we score the second in the 80th, we still have 15 mins. I believe it’s possible,” Müller said (Sport1’s Kerry Hau via @iMiaSanMia).
BFW exclusive: A passionate rant from a Bayern Munich fan
In that short span, the team has been dispatched from the DFB-Pokal, and received a drubbing at the hands of Manchester City, meaning the team is also all but out of the UCL. Having just drawn vs. Hoffenheim at home, Bayern Munich looks no better domestically. And what changed between then and now?
Thomas Tuchel protective of Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano
It’s not to say that Nagelsmann being replaced by Thomas Tuchel has directly impacted a bit of a dip in form for the French defender, but he did make several key mistakes in Bayern’s 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter finals. The most costly of which came in the 70th minute when he was caught in possession by Jack Grealish deep in Bayern’s defensive third. Grealish played a pass to an overlapping Erling Haaland, who provided a brilliant assist to Bernardo Silva, heading home City’s second goal on the night.
Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich speaks about his World Cup pain
At least he didn’t fall into a pit though. “My three kids kept me busy. Then there are other topics. I’m someone who works things through and tries to find approaches. But the family, the close entourage helped. And we had a very long holiday, almost too long,” said Kimmich (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Bayern Munich Alumni: Bastian Schweinsteiger pits Manchester City and AC Milan in the Champions League final
Basti was asked during an “#AskBasti” segment on Twitter and this Man City news outlet captured the 2014 World Cup winner picking Manchester United’s neighbors. However, the so-called “Schweinsteiger curse” might throw a wrench into the plans of Man City as the former German international has had a habit of supporting teams in certain games only for that team to lose. This is similar to the “Drake curse” where the Canadian rapper would wear the shirt of a certain team and that team would go on to lose their game.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola knows importance of handling environment, winning duels against Bayern Muni…
“We have a final in four days. I know the character and personality in this stadium, the players they have, the German mentality. We have to work a lot in being stable mentally in bad moments, be so aggressive and go there to score goals and win the game,” Guardiola said at a press conference (as captured by Beanyman Sports via @iMiaSanMia). “I want a team that will go there to win the game. We can’t go there to just…because I know exactly how the environment is in Munich. If we’re a little passive, we’ll suffer.”
