The Champions League speaks German
The last three Champions League winners were all trained by a German: In 2019 Jürgen Klopp won the handlebar with Liverpool, last year Bayern won with Hansi Flick, and now Thomas Tuchel completes the trio. That hasn’t existed since the 1970s! At that time the competition was still called the European Champions Cup, and the coaches Udo Lattek and Dettmar Cramer (twice).
In addition: four of the 16 trainers in the quarterfinals were Germans. In addition to Tuchel and Bayern coach Hansi Flick, these were Julian Nagelsmann (RB Leipzig) and Edin Terzic (Borussia Dortmund).
