After Bayern's defeat in Leverkusen, Thomas Tuchel is said to have given goalkeeper Manuel Neuer a reprimand.
The reason was a scene towards the end of the game.
Munich – The 3-0 defeat in Leverkusen was the beginning of a catastrophic week and a half for FC Bayern, which culminated in the separation from coach Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season on Wednesday (February 21).
FC Bayern: New trip in stoppage time in Leverkusen probably not agreed
The guest appearance at the "Werkself", which barely allowed the German record champions to come into their own for long stretches, was a demonstration of power by the league leaders.
Ultimately, the victory was deserved, even if the third goal was like a gift.
Because in added time it was goalkeeper Manuel Neuer who, despite being two goals behind, decided to go forward from a corner.
Leverkusen counterattacked, Jeremie Frimpong finished from distance into the empty goal for the final score.
Neuer's trip was ultimately not decisive for the outcome of the game - but there was still an announcement from Tuchel.

Bayern coach Tuchel probably reprimanded Neuer for going to the Leverkusen game
As
Sport Bild
writes, there is said to have been a reprimand for Neuer.
The fact that the national goalkeeper got involved in the hustle and bustle in the B04 penalty area was apparently not a matter of Tuchel's concern, but rather an arbitrary decision by the 37-year-old.
Remarkable: Eight days later, in the 2-3 defeat in Bochum, there was a very similar situation.
Once again the Munich team had a corner in stoppage time and there was still a chance to equalize.
This time, however, Neuer didn't go forward.
As is well known, the Tuchel team were no longer able to score, but instead suffered their third defeat in a row after the defeat in Leverkusen and the 0-1 defeat at Lazio Rome.

It was probably at least one too many for those responsible at Säbener Straße around CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen.
Three days after the game, the “amicable” separation was announced.
It is not yet clear who will inherit Tuchel - but there are already plenty of rumors about possible successors at FC Bayern.
