Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel has a super joker at his disposal at the start of the season in the person of Mathys Tel, while the 50-year-old Bavarian technician is often questioned as to whether the young 18-year-old French striker should not have more playing time.
But Tel proves decisive almost every time, entering at the end of the match in the Bayern jersey. Two weeks ago at the Allianz Arena, he was the one who gave his team some momentum for their first goal in the Champions League. Tuesday evening in Copenhagen, he gave victory to his team, while Bayern flouted its game for 90 minutes against the very low block proposed by Jacob Neestrup’s team.
Six goals for Tel
Launched in depth less than five minutes from the end of the match, Thomas Müller resisted his opposing defender and ideally served Tel who left no chance with his left foot to the Polish goalkeeper of Copenhagen, Kamil Grabara.
Arriving at just 17 years old at Bayern from Rennes in the summer of 2022, Tel has already scored six goals in all competitions this season, as many as last season as a whole.
«It was an extremely difficult match. It was a question of patience. We have a very high quality bench, we have already seen it several times this season, and again this evening», Explained Bayern captain Joshua Kimmich, speaking to broadcaster Amazon Prime.
Tel’s goal came a full quarter of an hour after the equalizer from Jamal Musiala (67th), who found the fault in the Danish defense on an individual action with a flat-footed shot put out of reach of the goalkeeper from Copenhagen.
But Bayern were afraid for eleven minutes for their two record series. Because the Munich defense has once again faltered. On a ball poorly cleared by South Korean defender Kim Min-jae, Lukas Lerager opened the scoring in the 56th minute for Copenhagen.
And Bayern trembled until the end, since goalkeeper Sven Ulreich pushed back a ball with his fingertips in the final seconds to avoid a draw.
