FC Bayern did not have to worry about ridicule after their 0-3 defeat against Manchester City.
Even UEFA got involved - now they apologize.
Update from April 13, 8:21 a.m .:
FC Bayern went swimming in Manchester on Tuesday.
The supervisor of the UEFA live ticker took a dig at Julian Nagelsmann's expulsion.
The brief “fun” now has fatal consequences for him.
As UEFA announced in an official statement, the author of the slogan "a penny for the thoughts of Julian Nagelsmann" will no longer work for the association, which is committed to neutrality.
"The message was posted by a freelancer who will no longer be working with UEFA.
UEFA has privately apologized to Bayern Munich," UEFA wrote.
That will be cold consolation for Bayern.
FC Bayern loses against Manchester City – now a miracle is needed
First report from April 12:
Munich – Played well, but still lost 0:3 in the end.
That actually doesn't sound like FC Bayern at all.
But even those involved in Munich couldn't really explain the result in the first leg of the quarter-finals in the Champions League at Manchester City.
Despite the bitter defeat, Thomas Tuchel said he was "in love with his team" after the end of the game, Thomas Müller found it difficult to analyze and found the result "catastrophic" and "difficult to accept".
Manchester City: Ederson - Akanji, Aké, Dias - Silva, Stones, Rodrigo, Grealish - Gundogan, De Bruyne (68th Alvarez) - Haaland |
FC Bayern: Sommer - Pavard, Upamecano, de Ligt, Davies (80th Cancelo) - Goretzka, Kimmich - Coman, Musiala (69th Mané), Sané - Gnabry (80th Müller) |
Goals: 1-0 Rodrigo (27'), 2-0 Silva (70'), 3-0 Haaland (77') |
Bad luck for Thomas Tuchel: FC Bayern suffered a bitter 3-0 defeat at Manchester City
But the fact is: This season is a very special one for the German record champions in many ways.
Because despite the change of coach during the international break, since the Bayern bosses saw the proclaimed goals in danger, Thomas Tuchel is threatened with another "one-title season" after less than three weeks.
DFB Cup?
Gone!
Champions League?
As good as eliminated!
Only the Bundesliga remains - and even there it's very, very tight.
It is clear that Oliver Kahn and Co. are now receiving criticism for their decision to dismiss Julian Nagelsmann in the hottest phase of the season.
Especially in the social media, there was malice.

Even UEFA scoffs at the Tuchel team: "A penny for Julian Nagelsmann's thoughts right now"
On Tuesday evening there was even mockery from the official side!
In the UEFA ticker for Bayern's game at Manchester City, the European Football Association wrote in the 74th minute (at a score of 0:2): "A penny for Julian Nagelsmann's thoughts right now". by Julian Nagelsmann").
You usually only read such sentences on Twitter and Co. But a biting UEFA comment on the change of coach at Bayern?
The

already spoke of a scandal.

Scorn and ridicule for FC Bayern – but Oliver Kahn is combative
As if the probable Champions League exit of the proud Bavarians wasn't bad enough, they now also have to put up with scorn and ridicule.
The dream of triumphing in the premier class seems as good as over, even if Oliver Kahn stated in the banquet speech after the game that he had already "experienced incredible things in football".
Incidentally, neither UEFA nor FC Bayern have heard anything official about the mockery ticker.
