Dark moment and not a positive season so far for Bayern Munich: defeat in the Champions League against Lazio (even if there is room to make up for it in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16) which comes after the heavy defeat on the pitch of Bayer Leverkusen (0-3) with the rivals going +5 at the top of the Bundesliga. Without forgetting the Super Cup in August went to Leipzig and was eliminated in German Cup at the hands of Saarbrucken – third division team. There are 10 games lost in 43 games.

The Bild headlines “red alert” and the clouds are black above Mr. Tuchel's head. Rumors of his dismissal are going around. There's even talk of Mourinho. The Special One who would immediately return to the bench after leaving Roma. “He is learning German”, was the indiscretion reported by Bild. In short, this defeat for Lazio could be an involuntary assist for Mou. However, with the risk of finding him on the bench in a new 'derby' in the return leg set for March 5th. Possible more temporary solutions lead to Hansi Flick, still under contract with Bayern Munich or an internal ferryman that you try to end the season in the most dignified way possible. “Am I worried about my future? No,” Tuchel said after the match. The ball passes to the Bavarian management.
