Ulreich did a great job, bittersweet to see him in a back-up role again soon
Really can’t believe Sane didn’t draw a pen
Also, incredible play from Galatasaray
I can’t deal with the Thamas anymore, man. We are doing reasonably well in the Bundesliga, but in the CL, Tuchelball has been a violation of the Geneva Conventions, and worst thing is, it worked once again, so nothing will change. 75 dismal minutes, followed by Bouna Sarr as the first sub, it’s like he’s trying to making a mockery out of the concept of substitutions. Gala got tired in the end, but they should have finished us in the first half.
First half: holy shit Gala could actually do this!
Second half: Snap back to realityTff should’ve postponed the Beşiktaş derby match
Just no.
The only UCL match from the group stage onwards that I can think of where a football federation decided to postpone a domestic match was the second leg semi-final between Ajax-Spurs, where the former was given a week off.
Furthermore, the league counts a whopping 38 matchdays this season, so there isn’t much room for postponements.
Only if we could score some of our chances…. Well played to the Gala players
Both can’t defend and the Gala can’t finish in front of goals.
Galatasaray had 3.08xG while Bayern had 1.77xG. They missed 4 big chances and ran out of gas after ~65 minutes.
We gave them hell for 70 minutes and I feel proud of my team. If we were even slightly more clinical in front of the goal we could’ve got away with it.
Same game as Mainz we played horrible football but scored 3 goals and won the game. I don’t know how we got away with it, but just like against Mainz, I’ll take it.
Gala played so well, they couldve/shouldve scored a second goal. Bayern won 3-1 but never saw them getting dominated by a weak team like this
Good game Bayern bros. We really had you guys in the first half but that best in the world mentality is too strong to handle over 90 minutes.
I’m so fucking proud of this team. We finished mid table in the Turkish league just two seasons ago and now we’re here going toe to toe against the giants.
Do Gala press that high in the league as well? Gotta be one of the most entertaining teams to watch
Sadly more often than not the opponents in the league they park the buss and just yeet the ball.
We do
Almost every team parks the bus. Its a shit show.
It’s sad to lose after such an impressive first half, but it’s kind of obvious that you can’t keep that press for 90 minutes against Bayern. Overall I’m very proud of this team and hopeful for its future. Ahead of the game we were expecting a lose with the what if feeling anyways.
BTW great performance by the ref.
