Blues defender Dayot Upamecano can count on his club’s support after his tough European night on Tuesday at Manchester City (3-0). Bayern Munich has indeed denounced the racist insults broadcast on social networks and aimed at the former RB Leipzig player, after this failed match at the Etihad Stadium. “Everyone at the club, let’s denounce racism in the strongest way! The whole club is behind you Upa,” the Bavarian club wrote on their Instagram account on Wednesday.
In particular, the author of a defensive blunder leading to the second goal of the Cityzens on Tuesday, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Dayot Upamecano had been pointed out by his coach Thomas Tuchel after the meeting: “He made a little too many mistakes . There were two or three situations where he lacked concentration a bit with risky decisions. It must never happen at this level and in this part of the field, he will learn through this. We’re not mad at him, he’s young and he’ll still make mistakes.”
For his part, his partner Joshua Kimmich took up his defense even more clearly than Thomas Tuchel. “It’s very hard for Upa, but he has great qualities and we believe in him,” said the Bayern midfielder and captain after the game.
