Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel makes bold statement after defeating Manchester United
Thomas Tuchel believes Bayern Munich’s efficiency towards Manchester United was their greatest within the Champions League this season.
Although Bayern had already gained Group A within the Champions League earlier than making the journey to Old Trafford, Tuchel named his strongest doable crew after a heavy loss within the Bundesliga final weekend.
The likes of Harry Kane, Manuel Neur, Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala and Kingsley Coman all began the match and it was the latter who broke the impasse within the second half to make it 1-0 to Bayern. United struggled to create any clear-cut probabilities all through the 90 minutes and the defeat condemned them to crash out of European competitors earlier than Christmas.

“It was one of our best performances in the Champions League this season, the level of concentration and the level of defensive actions and winning duels, so this is the attitude we’re looking for,” Tuchel informed TNT Sports.
“We didn’t have it last weekend, but it’s about showing a reaction and the team did that. Now it’s on us to keep that level.”
Bayern goalkeeper Neur added: “We have been very offended about our efficiency towards Frankfurt. We confirmed a response at this time. The coach was very pleased; he mentioned he was proud on the sidelines. We gave all the pieces and that’s why we gained at this time.
“We have to give our all in every competition. We have a team that can definitely compete for the title.”
The matchwinner Coman mentioned: “It was an excellent ending [to the group stage] and an excellent efficiency. [I don’t score] fairly often, however I stored my cool and I’m pleased it went in.
“We’re very happy to be in the next stage. We know the type of teams that await us there. We know we’ve gone very far in previous seasons. We want to do well again.”
