Thomas Tuchel, coach of Bayern Munich, considered that the 5-1 defeat by Eintracht Frankfurt in the German League was deserved, but he promised that the response to this would come with positive results in the upcoming matches.
After the match, none of the Bayern Munich players spoke to the media except Thomas Muller, and when Tuchel was asked about that, he replied, saying, “The response that we will give to everyone is more important to be on the field than to give press interviews.”
As for the loss itself, he said, "We deserved to lose today. It was a strange match. We excel in expected goals statistics, but Frankfurt was the one who did everything today."
He also added, "We did not play well today, but the result is somewhat strange. We have to blame ourselves when we have a full week of training and then we appear like this in the end."
Bayern Munich is scheduled to face Manchester United at Old Trafford, and after the five-point defeat, Bavarian must respond by achieving a victory over the English giant, even if it effectively guarantees qualification to the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The Red Devils need to win, along with Galatasaray's draw with Copenhagen, in order to join Bayern in the next round, but it seems that the task of Erik ten Hag's squad will be very difficult.
Bayern Munich's next opponent after United will be Stuttgart, one of the pleasant surprises in the Bundesliga this season, which is in third place and will visit Bayern at the Allianz Arena next week.
