Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann acknowledged the existence of a “results crisis” before the team’s fiery match against Paris Saint-Germain in the final price of the Champions League.
Yesterday, Bayern settled for the third consecutive draw in the new year since the resumption of the Bundesliga, against Eintracht Frankfurt (1-1), and its lead in the lead was reduced to only one point.
He will visit Saint-Germain in the French capital, first leg, on February 14th.
“If you’re not getting results, then you’re in a results crisis,” Nagelsmann said.
He continued, “There are worse things in life than that, but it’s not a good series.”
Having come back from the winter break with a four-point lead at the top, Union Berlin is now one point behind.
And if Borussia Dortmund wins today, four teams will be within three points or less of him.
“In order to be able to play the big matches, you also have to play the small matches in such a way that you are in good condition psychologically,” Nagelsmann continued.
“We don’t have much time left before the really big games. So we have to start at some point. The first step is always the hardest.”
The Bavarian will receive his rival Saint-Germain back on the eighth of March, knowing that he is still suffering from absences.
International goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and French defender Lucas Hernandez will be absent until the end of the season, and Senegalese striker Sadio Mane is not expected to return for the first match against Saint-Germain. Moroccan international defender Naseer Mazraoui, who is suffering from the repercussions of his infection with the Covid-19 virus, will also be absent during the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
