Sometimes football is more than a little paradoxical. For example, on Tuesday evening, at the Manchester City stadium, where Pep Guardiola’s team and that of his Bayern Munich colleague Thomas Tuchel met. Anyone who claims that it was a good, even at times excellent game is quite right. However, the result says little regarding who had what part in the creation of the spectacle. Because it was Bayern who acted more courageously, better adjusted and more determined than Manchester City. And in the end they lost 0:3.
