The dramatic change in some league races resulted in a huge talk in the European Football World. While Bayern Munich lost against Mainz in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund crushed Eintracht Frankfurt capturing first place. Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid by 1-0 ending the Laligo championship. England’s FA Cup witnessed Man City thrash Sheffield United and Man United defeated Brighton on penalties setting up a Wembley derby on June 3. Rafael Leao scored more goals for Milan, increasing the pressure on VAR judgments As Napoli defeated Juventus late in the game in Italy.
Bayern Munich Falters Against Mainz
Clubs mitigate their issues. The standard operating procedure at Bayern is to stress out and express yourself, possibly for fewer mistakes. We saw 1-1 with Hoffenheim and Thomas Tuchel’s passive-aggressive funeral management style and Freiburg was eliminated from the German Cup.
The most important details include that Bayern Munich failed to take their chances in the 1st half and replaced their back three with Mathys Tel and Ryan Gravenberch and that Yann Sommer made a big blunder on the first goal while defending the second was not perfect. It is important to speak with one voice and get messaging right. The buck stops with the people who put the team together, turned the screws on Tuchel, and got rid of Nagelsmann based on a hunch and whim. Tuchel cannot be the scapegoat, as they are all the same people.
The match between Brighton and Manchester United ended 1-0, with Napoli taking the initiative and Juventus hitting on the break. Napoli had 1,21x G to Juve’s 0.42 while recording 17 shots to 7 and 6 shots on target to 3. Napoli had a winning goal in the 93ed minute when Giacomo Raspadori converted an Eljif Elmas cross.
