    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.

    That first half was so amazing to see, shame it didn’t go further.

    I think that Bayern would have won 2-3 anyway, but it’s such a shame it wasn’t closer than it was.

    What an absolute night and day performance. That first half will be with me forever, locking down Bayern like that, pushing your defensive line 15-20m onto their half, I’d never have imagined. Sad that we wasted so many chances but the team showed that we are ready to go head to head with the big boys, just need to build a comfortable lead when we’re putting our immense pressure early for when we inevitably drop in energy levels.

    I can’t even be happy about this shit anymore

    Hey, 3 points…so Tuchel must have done everything right, riiiiight?

    Pisspoor performance in the first half, lucky in the 2nd that Gala couldn’t take that high speed for more than 70 min and also failed to shoot more goals themselves.

    Questionable substitutions at random times

    First game in knockout stage and Bayern is out cause not a single CL winner-contender is gonna let Bayern show up with such a performance and not punish them

    Tuchel is going down as the worst coach in the history of the team, which is impressive, considering the run Klinsmann had a couple of years back…

      F up is that he’s registering wins against mediocre teams with this horrible setup. And the Bayern bosses are squeezed tight after the mid season dismissal of Nags last year. Replacing Tuchel with Flick mid season is imperative and hard. Next season I’d like to see Flick, Alonso, or Nagelsmann (depending on how the GNFT perform in the Euro’s). Tuchel is not a Bayern worthy coach.

    I can’t complain, we need to be at least as half clinical as Bayern was in a game like this.

      You should complain. You risked way too much.

      One point would have been great result. You went for all 3 and got none. Sometimes you have to be conservative

        Being conservative here eventually leads to concedef goals after push from bayern. This tactic gives us a chance to catch them

        If Bayern wins against everybody, Gala’s fate will be decided by the results of the matches against ManU and Kopenhagen. If Gala wins against ManU, they can easily be 2nd. So Gala haven’t lost anything today.

    It’s always cringe when German journalists interact with Harry Kane, especially when they are called Sebastian Hellmann

      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.

    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

    First half: holy shit Gala could actually do this!
    Second half: Snap back to reality

    Really can’t believe Sane didn’t draw a pen

    Also, incredible play from Galatasaray
