Will Tuchel say goodbye to Bayern with a Champions League triumph?

Coach Tuchel has already led Chelsea to a surprise title once, and after reaching the semi-finals against Arsenal in London, the eyes of Munich fans are even more focused on Bayern’s performance in this competition. Can the Bavarian side make the final two steps?

This is of course also due to the fact that the Bavarian side is dethroned after eleven years of Bundesliga domination. This has broken the neck of German coach Tuchel, who, according to a recent statement by Bayern officials, will not continue on the bench. The team will rely heavily on its key players.

The defence is orchestrated by the home team

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is returning to his former form, against Arsenal he even got ahead of Iker Casillas in the historical tables in the number of zeros he picked up in the Champions League and currently dominates this statistic.

Another important link is Joshua Kimmich, a defensive all-rounder who has benefited from a return to the right edge of defence. The quarter-final hero has had a problem with the coaching staff recently, there was even talk of his summer exit. Judging by his performance, those problems seem to have been ironed out.

The Musiala & Kane factor

The Bavarians will also rely on Jamal Musiala, the talented player is able to speed up the game, give it an idea and last but not least he can cross one or more opposing players. He is also no stranger to finishing, with a great 10+6 stats in the Bundesliga in the current season.

It is not only Harry Kane who can benefit from his work. The 30-year-old English forward would like to finally win a team trophy, so he will have his motivation taken care of.

His purchase has paid off for Bayern, he has scored 32 goals in domestic competition so far and boasts more than one goal per game on average. He is also doing well in the Champions League, where he has 7 goals so far.

Bayern can now concentrate fully on the LM

The Bavarians have been struggling in the Bundesliga this season, but have been performing well in the millionaire competition. After winning the group with Manchester United, Copenhagen and Galatasaray, Bayern went past Lazio of Rome. Although Thomas Tuchel’s side fell 1-0 in the Eternal City, they completely dominated the home rematch and moved on after a 3-0 win.

Arsenal London, who were to play their first game on home soil, were waiting there. Bayern brought the islands a valuable 2: 2 draw, and in the German rematch to confirm their progress with a goal from Kimmich.

However, the semi-final put arguably the biggest current favourite in the competition – Real Madrid – in Munich’s path. But the Bavarians can only focus on the Champions League now. Can they break the resistance of the royal club that never gives up?
