Thomas Tuchel’s intense focus on Bayern Munich’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Manchester City gave him a sleepless night on Sunday and caused him to wake early the next morning and go straight to the team training ground.
Bayern visit the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday for what is the fourth match of Tuchel’s tenure, the 49-year-old having replaced Julian Nagelsmann last month. While as Chelsea manager he guided the west London club to triumph against City in the 2021 Champions League final, Tuchel stated Bayern may be “underdogs” and that his desire to knock Pep Guardiola’s side out is taking his constant attention.
