On defense, he wasn’t terrific and helped RB Leipzig create chances with some very sloppy positioning. RB Leipzig really had no answer for him in the attack.until the second half when he disappeared. He was a threat on the left flank and a menace. Cancelo was spectacular offensively in the first half.In reality, fans could point fingers at a number of players before you get to Goretzka, but we know how this will likely go.He will likely take some heat, however, because he is the go-to whipping boy of the moment. He finished with an okay performance on the day. Goretzka had a few great defensive plays in the first half, but the chemistry between he and Kimmich is off at the moment.Sommer also stopped Dani Olmo in the 36th minute on what was a nice delivery from Marcel Halstenberg and deft flick from the Spaniard.The first was on a half-volley from Dominik Szoboszlai and the second was a close-in attempt from Christopher Nkunku. Yann Sommer proved his worth with two sensational stops in the 34th minute.9, the team created good chances and probably could have finished a few more on a different day. The attack didn’t function like a traditional Bayern Munich offense, but it did work in the first half.In the 25th minute, Müller helped show why Tuchel opted to place his players where did as he hit Gnabry on a short, diagonal run, which Gnabry hammered at the near-post for a goal than pinged from post-to-post before going over the goal line.Cancelo came away bloodied and Simakan came away a little banged up, but I was a little surprised Simakan didn’t come away with a yellow card as he lunged into Cancelo. Mohamed Simakan’s aerial challenge on Joao Cancelo in the 11th minute was extremely reckless.

Regardless, Tuchel took some risks with his setup and while it did work for a half, the squad could not handle RB Leipzig’s halftime adjustments and energy in the second half.Someone had to sit given the personnel used I supposed. Leroy Sané’s sudden benching is a little curious as he was one of the players who Tuchel seemed to invest in early on in his tenure.9 was very questionable when Gnabry had been producing there. Using Müller (who was good on the day) as the No. It seems odd that both Julian Nagelsmann and Tuchel have been hesitant to use Musiala on the offensive flank when it is blatantly obvious that he might need a few rotations out-wide to help change his fortunes.

I assumed it would be Serge Gnabry atop the formation, but Thomas Müller occupied the central position most frequently.Some folks were surely hoping to see Dayot Upamecano take a spot back in the XI, but it was not to be. 10, while Leon Goretzka slid back into a starting central midfield role. Thomas Tuchel changed back to a 4-2-3-1 and featured Jamal Musiala at the No.⚪ #FCBRBL #packmas #MiaSanMia /0nv7xXrmXR- FC Bayern München May 20, 2023
