Bayern won 3-0 against Lazio Rome and are now in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But coach Thomas Tuchel gets injured! He even has to be treated with ice spray on the bench.

The Bayern coach on Amazon: “The motivational speech before the game cost me my big toe. I was taken care of immediately. But I didn’t have the courage to step out of the shoe anymore because I don’t think I’ll be able to get back in.”

Tuchel explains how he got injured: “I kicked something.”

Müller on Tuchel injury: “There is always a little loss”

The 50-year-old, who is no longer coaching Bayern in the summer, really worked hard in the decisive game. It wasn’t a box, but “I hurt myself.” The classic,” continued Tuchel.

Kimmich said after the game that the coach had kicked out the door during the motivational speech.

Thomas Müller joked: “There is always a bit of wastage. Professional sport is always narrow-minded. We just don’t do it with fruit tea.”

Noticeable: Tuchel could hardly walk after the final whistle.

Above all, he struggled down the stairs of the Allianz Arena towards the field.

When asked what the team had said about his injury, Tuchel said: “They don’t know yet. She was probably surprised that I sat for 90 minutes.”

Bayern boss Jan-Christian Dreesen (56): “Thomas broke his toe today during the speech before the game – Thomas is on board with full enthusiasm and passion!”

Tuchel later added at the press conference: “During my last speech I kicked in a door and I think I broke my toe – at least that’s what it feels like. It’s very painful. That’s why I couldn’t stand on it anymore and sat down during the game. But it’s all good. I was happy to make the sacrifice.”

This motivational speech will definitely be remembered…
