Coach Thomas Tuchel of German professional soccer team Bayern Munich gave up his toes and took a ticket to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
Munich won 3-0 over Lazio (Italy) in the 2023-2024 UCL Round of 16 home game held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 6th (Korean time).
Munich, who lost 0-1 in the first game and was on the verge of elimination, won the first and second games 3-1 on aggregate and advanced to the quarterfinals.

According to Reuters, Coach Tuchel gathered the players together in the locker room before the game and awakened their fighting spirit.
In the process of stimulating the players to give them strength to achieve a turnaround this season, he kicked a box in the locker room.
Because of this, Coach Tuchel injured his toe.
Coach Tuchel said after the game, “I injured my right toe while giving a speech. I received treatment right away, but I couldn’t take off my shoe because I didn’t have the courage to put it back on.”
Coach Tuchel often stood next to the sideline and passionately gave orders to his players.But on this day, he hurt his toe, so he just sat on the bench.

“The players will wonder why I sat for the entire 90 minutes,” he said with a laugh.
Munich is very poor this season.
In the Bundesliga, they remained in second place, 10 points behind leader Leverkusen (64 points), and were on the verge of losing their 12th consecutive league game.
This is a very humiliating reality for Munich, which is called ‘the absolute best.’
In particular, before the second leg of the round of 16 against Lazio, they had only 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses in 5 official games.
Due to the continued sluggishness, Coach Tuchel had already become a ‘time-limited coach’.Munich decided to end the contract with coach Tuchel, which was originally until next summer, a year earlier this summer.
There was also a local report that if the UCL quarterfinals were canceled on this day, Tuchel would be fired immediately.
However, coach Tuchel and Munich players kept their pride to the last.
Munich’s opponent in the UCL quarterfinals will be decided in the draw held on the 15th. 카지노사이트
