Thomas Tuchel was openly critical of Dayot Upamecano after the Bayern Munich defender was at fault for Manchester City ’s crucial second goal on Tuesday night.
City claimed a huge 3-0 win in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Etihad Stadium. Rodri curled a stunning strike into the top corner to give them a 1-0 lead at half-time before Bernardo Silva’s header and Erling Haaland ’s close-range finish gave Pep Guardiola’s side a commanding lead going into the second leg in Germany.
Bayern failed to score for just the second time all season and were complicit in their own downfall at the other end of the pitch. Upamecano was particularly culpable, giving the ball away to Jack Grealish in the build-up to Silva’s goal.
