Thomas Tuchel played it perfectly until he didn’t, in a game Bayern Munich had won before the Stoke City cast-offs entered the mix to turn the tide in Real Madrid ’s favour.
Joshua Kimmich was reminded of the Brazilian’s brilliance near enough every time Real Madrid got the ball for for the first 20 minutes of the second half. And the rather crude tactic of getting the ball to the area of the pitch in which there was the greatest speed mismatch looked as though it would at some point pay dividends: Vinicius had Kimmich on skates.
Alphonso Davies had given Bayern the lead with the very goal Thomas Tuchel will have dreamed of his side scoring at the Bernabeu, in a game going precisely as planned. Jamal Musiala wriggled away from a challenge in his own box before Harry Kane swept the ball out to Davies, who cut inside and smashed his shot past Andriy Lunin.
It’s yet another case of Real Madrid snatching a Champions League victory from the jaws of defeat. And once they got one, it always felt like they would get two. But as will always be the case for a defeated manager, Tuchel will be wondering what he could have done differently, and will surely now be ruing the changes he made in the second half.
