Bayern Munich's Goalkeeper Attacks Pep Guardiola's Tactics

No sooner had the final whistle blown last night than the inquest and recriminations of Pep Guardiola’s philosophy had begun.

Comprehensively beaten 0-5 over 2 legs by a tactically superior Real Madrid side, the mythology of Pep is being called into question in Germany, and even within the camp.

Keeper Manuel Neuer, the Bayern player who had the best view and time to observe the tactical context of the tie, had no hesitation in questioning their modus operandi over the two legs.


Speaking to a pitch-side reporter, Neuer said: ‘Looking at the 2 games, it’s simple: we didn’t score any goals. We have only ourselves to blame for not playing a style conducive to scoring goals’.

German straight talking, no beating around the bush.
