A look at the starting XI and the mistakes Tuchel made in the personnel. The abhorrent tactics that Tuchel employed. RB Leipzig’s great game plan and execution. How Bayern could move going forward with Tuchel (or without him?). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
