FC Bayern is eliminated from the DFB Cup – despite Thomas Tuchel.
Julian Nagelsmann has not yet been seen again in Munich.
The Arena Whisper.
Munich – It can go that fast!
The first title for FC Bayern in the planned and definitely long-term era under Thomas Tuchel is gone.
Even if he didn't want to admit it after the final whistle (see photo).
The record cup winner lost 1:2 (1:1) in the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup to the student group of lecturer Christian Streich from Freiburg.
So much for the sporty part of the evening.

Simply a winner: Thomas Tuchel after losing the cup against SC Freiburg.

Arena whispers: Nagelsmann is back on a ski vacation and Müller has a dry throat
It was clear that the Bayern stars were of course not in the mood for their lives after the final whistle.
"Very, very bitter," Thomas Müller called the cup end: "It really hurts too!
But we have to swallow – even if it's not going down yet.” Unfortunately there are no water bottles in the mixed zone of the Allianz Arena that could have been handed to the original Bavarian.
Maybe he could have asked Joshua Kimmich, because he didn't have a dry throat.
On the contrary, he "pukes it all up brutally".
Meanwhile, Leon Goretzka immediately nipped in the bud a trainer discussion that arose quickly: "I can rule out that it is the trainer's fault." Safety first.
Speaking of coaches!
It is not known where Julian Nagelsmann followed the Bayern exit.
Allegedly, despite all warnings from Uli Hoeneß, he is said to have said goodbye to skiing vacations.
But he will always have his longboard with him when London is calling.

Arena whispers: Manuel Neuer glares at Lucas Hernandez – Ibrahimovic listens intently
While the Bayern stars in the Allianz Arena freezer offered little to heat up on the pitch, the convalescents gathered in the stands.
Captain Manuel Neuer found his place earlier this time.
Was it because he had a role model function that evening?
Young footballer Arijon Ibrahimovic (no, not related or related by marriage) did not leave Neuer's side and listened carefully to the anecdotes of the captain, who was actually in a good mood, during the game.
Of course, there was a curious incident again at the Bavarian tryst.
Because when Lucas Hernandez, who was also present but three rows above Neuer, actually dared not to get up in "Get up if you Bavarians are", the captain gave angry looks across the rows.

Arena whispers: Mathys Tel surprises with the choice of shoes in the cup
Apparently, however, all three Bayern kickers were frozen in their places afterwards.
After that, none of the three stood up when the Bayern supporters sang their songs.
Youngster Mathys Tel was also in the stands with the injured.
While the old warhorses Neuer and Hernandez were outfit-wise prepared for temperatures around freezing (thick jacket, thick hat, thick shoes), Jüngling Tel trudged up the steps with open (!) sneakers.
But there was no reprimand from Papa Neuer for colleague Schuetzschuh.
Knowing full well that ski boots can also be a threat to your own well-being from time to time.
So while strange scenes were playing out again in the stands of the Allianz Arena, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Alexander Bommes tried their hand at half-time as an entertainment duo.

Arena whispers about Schweinsteiger and Bommes as the Safri duo – does anyone still miss Sedlaczek?
Both seemed in a good mood, shaked with the spectators in the stadium, drummed their hands on the ARD tables to the rhythmic sounds in the arena while the camera was off and the Tagesschau was running on the first.
Does anyone else miss Esther Sedlaczek in this Safri duo?
Shortly after the restart, when coach Tuchel sent his armada of substitutes to warm up, Freiburg coach Streich briefly came out as a fanboy and casually high-fived Bayern star Sadio Mané.
When he tried something similar after the end of the game with Jamal Musiala, Streich received a bad basket.

In general, Bambi Musiala was the saddest creature after the final whistle in the arena of the afflicted (thanks Disney) and actually wanted to go to the catacombs immediately.
First Thomas Müller and then Matthijs de Ligt persuaded him that he should say goodbye to the fans.
It was not clear whether tears were actually running afterwards, but Alphonso Davies hugged his buddy on the way back and supported him on the long walk to the dressing room, which Tuchel has hopefully not lost yet.
