Galatasaray had 3.08xG while Bayern had 1.77xG. They missed 4 big chances and ran out of gas after ~65 minutes.
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
Only if we could score some of our chances…. Well played to the Gala players
Both can’t defend and the Gala can’t finish in front of goals.
Really can’t believe Sane didn’t draw a pen
Also, incredible play from Galatasaray
Do Gala press that high in the league as well? Gotta be one of the most entertaining teams to watch
Almost every team parks the bus. Its a shit show.
We do
Sadly more often than not the opponents in the league they park the buss and just yeet the ball.
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.
Really impressive effort by Gala at first half. If only they scored another goal at the first half.
First half: holy shit Gala could actually do this!
Second half: Snap back to realityIt’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.
We win games despite Tuchel not because of him. Can’t wait until he leaves
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.
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
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
