Match momentum.

Galatasaray had 3.08xG while Bayern had 1.77xG. They missed 4 big chances and ran out of gas after ~65 minutes.

Were those Northumbrian pipes?

Very fitting tribute either way

We gave them hell for 70 minutes and I feel proud of my team. If we were even slightly more clinical in front of the goal we could’ve got away with it.

I can’t deal with the Thamas anymore, man. We are doing reasonably well in the Bundesliga, but in the CL, Tuchelball has been a violation of the Geneva Conventions, and worst thing is, it worked once again, so nothing will change. 75 dismal minutes, followed by Bouna Sarr as the first sub, it’s like he’s trying to making a mockery out of the concept of substitutions. Gala got tired in the end, but they should have finished us in the first half.

Gala played so well, they couldve/shouldve scored a second goal. Bayern won 3-1 but never saw them getting dominated by a weak team like this

Really can’t believe Sane didn’t draw a pen

Also, incredible play from Galatasaray

Only if we could score some of our chances…. Well played to the Gala players

First half: holy shit Gala could actually do this!
Second half: Snap back to reality

Tff should’ve postponed the Beşiktaş derby match

Both can’t defend and the Gala can’t finish in front of goals.

First of all I want to say thank you to the Galatasaray fans who gave us a wonderful Champions League evening.

Regarding the game I want to commend Gala for what they invested into the game and how much they ran. Their pressing was really impressive and put Bayern into a chokehold that they didn’t know how to get themselves out of. At times it was a bit harakiri with no one in counter prevention as we saw with the 0-1. The deciding factor in the end was Gala not being able to score from one of the many chances they had. Around the 70th minute, Gala ran out of gas and Bayern completely picked them apart when the space was there.

Bayern needs to be better than this if they want to go far in this tournament especially since the passing was horrendous and the midfield non-existent. They also have to learn how to minimize easy loss of the balls.

Galatasaray should make it through the groups if they are able to convert there chances. They need to learn how to control there energy better and that LB is a liability

What an absolute night and day performance. That first half will be with me forever, locking down Bayern like that, pushing your defensive line 15-20m onto their half, I’d never have imagined. Sad that we wasted so many chances but the team showed that we are ready to go head to head with the big boys, just need to build a comfortable lead when we’re putting our immense pressure early for when we inevitably drop in energy levels.

It’s sad to lose after such an impressive first half, but it’s kind of obvious that you can’t keep that press for 90 minutes against Bayern. Overall I’m very proud of this team and hopeful for its future. Ahead of the game we were expecting a lose with the what if feeling anyways.

Ulreich was great and made a number of key saves. But Bayern couldn’t play out from the back because Gala were pressing Bayern CBs 1v1 and forced Ulreich to kick it. Unfortunately distribution is not part of his game. They really need Neuer back.

I can’t complain, we need to be at least as half clinical as Bayern was in a game like this.
