Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel described his side’s performance as “slapstick” in the 1-0 defeat to Lazio on Wednesday, that leaves them with a tough task to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
Ciro Immobile’s penalty proved the difference in the first leg of the last 16 tie in Rome.
“In the first half, we had to take the lead. We had three clear chances. We have to do these things,” Tuchel told DAZN.
The second half was “characterised by uncertainty again”, he said. “It was a bit slapstick.”
Bayern were hamstrung by the dismissal of Dayot Upamecano, who was shown a red card for crashing into Gustav Isaksen in the penalty area.
