The March silence in Munich last year was broken by news that the world is not used to when it comes to Bayern - surprising, with only two months left in the season.
With the Bavarian giant, Julian Nagelsmann eliminated Paris Saint-Germain, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in the round of 16 of the Champions League. He was one point away from first place in the Bundesliga.
All that was not enough and Bayern decided to hand him his resignation and bring in Thomas Tuchel in his place.
Shocking news for many, but it seemed at the time that the giant from the "Alliance Arena" brought an equally good coach, who, unlike Nagelsman, had already been crowned with the Champions League.
Tuchel defeated Borussia Dortmund (4:2) in his first match, Bayern regained the leadership position in the Bundesliga and it seemed that new days of success are coming for the champion of Germany, that the Bavarians will continue to be the machine they have been for more than a decade...
However, already in his second match on the Bayern bench, this expert realized that not everything would go so smoothly in the capital of Bavaria - he said goodbye to the German Cup trophy in the quarter-finals after losing to Freiburg.
By mid-April, Bayern was already without the Champions League (Manchester City was better with a total of 4:1), and only by crazy luck did they not lose the "salad" in the Bundesliga, after Borussia Dortmund failed to defeat Mainz in the last round and win the title. .
Even then it was clear that something was not quite right, but Bayern did not think of changing the coach again during the summer, so Tuchel now had all the time in the world to arrange and prepare the team in his own way, which became much stronger with the arrival of Harry Kane.
However, right from the start, the Bavarians fell behind Bayer Leverkusen in the championship, only to say goodbye to the "cup" already in the round of 16 when they were eliminated by the third division Saarbrücken.
DON'T MISS IT
In the Champions League, there were no problems through the group, but a few days ago, in the first match of the round of 1, Lazio showed all the limits of Tuchel's team (0:XNUMX).
Shaken by the knockdown from Rome, Bayern's coach seems to have been knocked out by Bochum yesterday - the team from Munich recorded another defeat (3:2) and has practically already said goodbye to the domestic title, since the phenomenal Bayer is in the big plus eight.
There is only the second leg against Lazio left, a match that could "iron out" the season as much as possible - will Bayern continue to gamble with Tuchel or is it time to change again at the end of the season.
It seems that this time it would be justified, unlike in March 2023.
