Bayern's dream is shattered! In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, Bayern performed well, leading 1-0, but conceded two goals in a row at the last minute, losing 3-4 on aggregate and missing the Champions League final. What's even more embarrassing is that Bayern made two stupid moves in this game, which can be called a disastrous choice!
For Bayern fans, this Champions League night was too dark, sad and even desperate. Bayern held on to that advantage for a long time with a 1-0 lead, and saw hope of reaching the final. However, at the last moment, they suffered two consecutive blows and finally ended the game with a score of 1-2, which also meant that the season was empty.
First of all, it was one of Tuchel's tricks – in the 76th minute, he decided to replace defender Kim Min-jae with a striker. This is undoubtedly a signal to the whole team to "stick to the end". However, Kim's appearance did not achieve the expected effect, but became a big hidden danger for Bayern's defense. He was unable to defend against Real Madrid's attacking group and was embarrassed by the opposing players. The substitution was a complete counterproduct, breaking the solid defence that Bayern had already built.
Secondly, Bayern's two consecutive stunts are also due to Tuchel's tactical arrangement. In the first half, Alphonso Davies gave his team a 1-0 lead with a world wave. However, Bayern were quite passive on the pitch, while Real Madrid were desperate and constantly adjusting their lineup for attacking opportunities. Tuchel's response was conservative and safe, replacing the morale-boosting Leroy Sane for defender Kim Min-jae. This conservative choice has led to an unstable Bayern defence, unable to stop Real Madrid's attack, and their own attacking strength has been greatly reduced.
Such a wrong choice made Bayern fans feel very regretful and disappointed. They thought they would be able to qualify for the final with Bayern's persistence and enjoy the glory of the Champions League. However, in the end, it ended the game with a defeat and even dashed the hopes of the whole season.
Bayern are out, it's a shame game and a lesson. The world of football shows us the unpredictable side of life and is a wake-up call for everyone: you have to deal with adversity correctly and choose a smart strategy in order to rise from failure.
