    I don’t understand the hate towards the fans. Why would you want a silent stadium, fans are supposed to support their team lol.

    Müller not subbed for his ucl wins count sucks…

    Dunno but seems like tuchel doesn’t rate him, I feel he would have easily found a few good deep passes today

    Even though the defense looked shaky as a whole, I thought De Ligt played very well. I feel much more confident when he is out there to command the defense.

    When they include the best fucking 9 in the world, the attack improves as fuck. There are tons of work to do but hey, we won.

    Musiala got a lot of criticism. Right fully so. I get it.

    But i honestly think his “poor decision-making” today was due to him thinking he has to win this game for us on his own. Which is understandable if you look at the performance and how we started this game. And you know, he did win us the game with an assist and a goal.

    Personally I am OK with this performance given that it was away and the stadium was so annoying. The Garatasaray side was quite impressive offensively the first half pressing high. They got lucky and unlucky moments. But their defense was just atrocious and became too vulnerably when players used up their energy.

    But Tuchel: what is wrong with you and Muller?

    As much as Gala pressed and as well as they played, they really didn’t have a sniff in the second half.

    Love the way Laimer and Ulrich played. The two save’s Ulrich had early were amazing.

    The team showed heart and worked their tail off. Deserved terrorist style win!

    We got lucky today. They produced 3.08xG if they were more clinical we would have been in trouble.

    Tuchel is frustrating there is no clear style of play, the players get to the final third and don’t know what to do.

    The midfield was slow and predictable the defense was quite shocking at times. Take the 3 points but lord I can’t watch this team.

    Why do we never cross from the byline and take a chance? I wish whenever Davies overlaps he goes outside and crosses it. Instead he cuts inside every single time ! Sane had an ok game but he still isn’t that clinical 1v1 and when he’s running full speed he struggles to make a decision.

    I thought it was played clever and nobody cares how you win a group stage match, you just need to win it.

    But I‘m not Bayern fan, just rooting for them in international matches cause my stepson is a fan and the match was on Prime.

    I thought Bayern did well in that 130db atmosphere. I knew Gala would collapse if they didn‘t score and then Bayern waited until Gala was tired and delivered two knock down blows. Well done.

    When the opposing fans leave their home stadium early, you have done everything right.
