Before the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League, the Bayern coach is combative – and gives a eulogy for the club culture at opponents FC Arsenal, which can be interpreted between the lines as criticism of the impatience on Säbener Straße.
The feeling of coming home is triggered differently for everyone. Is it the smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning? The sight of the crookedly trimmed boxwood hedge in the front garden? The sound when the key is successfully inserted into the door lock and the children inside bawl in greeting? For Thomas Tuchel on Monday evening it was the radio presenter Ian Abrahams, who definitely didn’t sit in the front row by chance and who otherwise behaved as if he wanted to make fun of the FC Bayern coach, who has been so often criticized.
