The week that Dayot Upamecano has just experienced risks leaving its mark on the French international. The Bayern Munich defender, already sent off against Lazio after causing a penalty, had suffered racist attacks on social networks. Although supported by his club, his coach and his partners, Upamecano experienced a new trauma on Sunday, during the Bavarians’ failed trip (3-2) to Bochum.
Substitute at kick-off, the former Leipzig player came on in the 32nd minute after the injury to Noussair Mazraoui. In the 78th minute, when his team was already trailing 2-1, the finalist of the last World Cup saw red again after a misplaced elbow in a duel with an opponent, offering a penalty to the locals, transformed by Kevin Stoger (3- 1, 78e).
Tuchel fired?
Already in difficulty and despite the reduction of the gap by Harry Kane on a movement initiated by the Frenchman Mathys Tel (3-2, 87th), Bayern fell again and jeopardized their title hopes. The game started rather well thanks to the missile under the bar of Jamal Musiala (0-1, 14th), but quickly things went wrong.
In line with the heavy defeat in the clash against Bayer Leverkusen, the Munich residents were permeable and punished by a cross strike from Takuma Asano (1-1, 38th) and a powerful header from Keven Schlotterbeck (2-1, 44th). Under pressure before the meeting, Thomas Tuchel sees his future on the Bayern Munich bench darkening. “FC Hollywood” is 8 lengths behind Leverkusen after 22 days. It remains to be seen whether the former PSG coach will have the opportunity to turn things around or if his management will already want to prepare for the future.
