Only if we could score some of our chances…. Well played to the Gala players
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
Ulreich did a great job, bittersweet to see him in a back-up role again soon
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.
BTW great performance by the ref.
Good game Bayern bros. We really had you guys in the first half but that best in the world mentality is too strong to handle over 90 minutes.
I’m so fucking proud of this team. We finished mid table in the Turkish league just two seasons ago and now we’re here going toe to toe against the giants.
Congrats to Galatasaray. xG for Gala is 2,41 while Bayern is 1,75. Better team was Gala but Bayern won with their experience. I’m pretty confident, Gala will be 2nd in this group.
Really impressive effort by Gala at first half. If only they scored another goal at the first half.
Same game as Mainz we played horrible football but scored 3 goals and won the game. I don’t know how we got away with it, but just like against Mainz, I’ll take it.
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.
How did Kane look?
No service almost at all. Lost the ball quite a few times in the first half and early second half and then later on in the game he put in a shift to bail the offence out.
Sounds familiar.
Love you, Kane
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
I can’t even be happy about this shit anymore
Hey, 3 points…so Tuchel must have done everything right, riiiiight?
Pisspoor performance in the first half, lucky in the 2nd that Gala couldn’t take that high speed for more than 70 min and also failed to shoot more goals themselves.
Questionable substitutions at random times
First game in knockout stage and Bayern is out cause not a single CL winner-contender is gonna let Bayern show up with such a performance and not punish them
Tuchel is going down as the worst coach in the history of the team, which is impressive, considering the run Klinsmann had a couple of years back…
F up is that he’s registering wins against mediocre teams with this horrible setup. And the Bayern bosses are squeezed tight after the mid season dismissal of Nags last year. Replacing Tuchel with Flick mid season is imperative and hard. Next season I’d like to see Flick, Alonso, or Nagelsmann (depending on how the GNFT perform in the Euro’s). Tuchel is not a Bayern worthy coach.
I can’t complain, we need to be at least as half clinical as Bayern was in a game like this.
You should complain. You risked way too much.
One point would have been great result. You went for all 3 and got none. Sometimes you have to be conservative
Being conservative here eventually leads to concedef goals after push from bayern. This tactic gives us a chance to catch them
If Bayern wins against everybody, Gala’s fate will be decided by the results of the matches against ManU and Kopenhagen. If Gala wins against ManU, they can easily be 2nd. So Gala haven’t lost anything today.
Gala put up an immense performance, absolutely no shame in this loss.
It’s always cringe when German journalists interact with Harry Kane, especially when they are called Sebastian Hellmann
His English is sadly not good enough.
Harsh on Kane
