Thomas Tuchel suffers a foot injury during FC Bayern's win against Lazio.
The Munich coach probably contracted this in the dressing room.
Munich – So it’s possible: FC Bayern is in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
With the 3-0 (1-0) win against Lazio Rome on Tuesday evening, the Munich team ultimately moved confidently into the next round of the premier class.
Thomas Tuchel: FC Bayern coach injured his toe against Lazio
Goal scorer Harry Kane with a double strike (39th minute/66th) and Thomas Müller (45th + 2) scored against passive and sometimes harmless Italians to win, which made it 0-1 (0-0) from the first leg of the round of 16 in the Italian capital leveled.
That's not all: Progress secured FCB coach Thomas Tuchel, who has to leave in the summer anyway, his job for the time being.
It's unimaginable that after the setbacks in the Bundesliga and DFB Cup, the Munich team would have been eliminated early from the Champions League against an outsider.
Curious: Tuchel limped to the interview with
Amazon Prime
after the game in the Allianz Arena .

Thomas Tuchel: Bayern coach talks about injury during motivational speech
What happened?
“The motivational speech before the game cost me my big toe, I think.
I was then taken care of immediately.
But I no longer had the courage to get out of the shoe,” said the 50-year-old trainer alongside expert Matthias Sammer: “Because, I think, I won’t be able to get into the shoe anymore.”
The Bavarian Swabian described his speech in the dressing room: “I kicked something somewhere.” Moderator Sebastian Hellmann then wanted to know whether Tuchel had kicked a box.
The FCB coach replied: “Something like that, and I injured myself.
The classic.” He didn’t want to reveal what the object was.
Professional sports are always on edge.
We just don't do it with fruit tea.

Also strange: The streaming service's cameras captured Tuchel spraying ice spray on his left shoe, in which his injured foot was, during the game against the reigning runner-up from Italy.
And how he hobbled down the stairs in the catacombs of the Munich Arena after the game.
What did he contract?
A diagnosis was still pending late Tuesday evening.
Meanwhile, goalscorer Müller joked about the incident.
He didn't see Tuchel's limping, the world champion said mischievously on
Amazon Prime
, "but there's always a bit of slack.
Professional sports are always on edge.
We don’t just do it with fruit tea.”
CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen was more specific and told the journalists in the mixed zone that his coach had “broken his toe during the speech before the game”.
Now the record champions are eagerly awaiting the diagnosis.
