This season's Champions League quarter-finals have ended the first leg of the competition, with Barcelona beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 and Atletico Madrid beating Borussia Dort 2-1 at home, with four teams in one and a half sides fighting for a ticket to the final. In the other semi-draw, Real Madrid drew 3-3 at home to Manchester City and Arsenal drew 2-2 at home to Bayern.
Judging from the strength of each team and their performance this season, one of the top 8 teams in the Champions League is underestimated and will not be able to reach the semi-finals. The first team in the top 8 of the Champions League emerged: the introduction of reinforcements was too hard, and only 14.25 million was invested, almost all of which were empty.
Although Bayern drew away from Arsenal and will return to play at home, Bayern are not favored to advance. Because Bayern has suffered too many routs this season, it is no longer the domineering king of the south.
In the final of the German Super Cup against RB Leipzig, Bayern lost 0-3. In the German Cup, Bayern was beaten 2-1 against Saarbrücken, a team in the third division of Germany. Bundesliga meet Efrankfurt, Bayern 1-5 defeat, 0-1 Bremen, 0-3 Bayer Leverkusen, 2-3 Bochum, 2-3 Heidenheim, 0-2 Dortmund (11 wins and 1 draw in the previous 11 matches against Dort). It also lost 0-1 to Lazio, and Bayern had 0 shots on target throughout the game.
Under Tuchel's leadership, Bayern have made a number of humiliating records this season. If Dort hadn't dropped the chain last season, Bayern's Bundesliga winning streak would have come to an end. Overall, Tuchel's Bayern are a pseudo-powerhouse, and their strength does not match their fame. Bayern's despondency is related to Tuchel's inaction in coaching, and it is also inseparable from the unfavorable recruitment of high-level reinforcements.
Since ancient times, it is easier to fight than to defend, and after Bayern achieved 11 consecutive league titles, this season's reinforcement action has made fans dissatisfied. Although Bayern spent 187.5 million euros on the introduction of Kane, Kim Min-jae, Boe and other players, the sale of Lucas Hernandez, Hrafenberg, Pavard, Mane, Sabitzer, Sommer and other players also made Bayern earn 173.25 million euros in transfer fees.
Bayern's net spending is really limited, and the current squad has multiple holes. In the introduction of the iron waist Palinha, Bayern is still hesitant and too expensive, resulting in a serious lack of defense in the team's back position, and Kimmich and Goretzka have become the backstabbers. After Bayern sold Pavard, the imported Boe became a glass man. Davies at left-back has been delayed in renewing his contract, Bayern have played the main team with Dier who Tottenham does not want, and Sane's performance has been extremely inconsistent. This Bayern team has a lot of problems, and Arsenal have a good chance of qualifying.
