In the league they are now eight points behind Bayer 04 Leverkusen and have to turn around a 0-1 deficit against Lazio Rome in the Champions League. Despite the many critics, coach Tuchel should remain in office.
The Munich crisis is also a big topic in the international media. SPORT1 summarizes the most important reactions.
Spain:
Marca: “Bayern suffers another shipwreck, but Tuchel saves his job… For now. And not so much out of conviction. Some players have lost faith in Thomas Tuchel, but the lack of a clear replacement could keep him in charge. Hansi Flick, who left the club at the end of the 20/21 season for the German national team, is the favorite of many players. As is well known, Flick was released from the German national team in September 2023 and is now free.”

Mundo Deportivo: “Awaiting a decision from the Bayern brass, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel finds himself in an even more difficult position than before and Bochum may have hit the nail on the head as they beat the German champions 3-2 on Sunday and they are already eight points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The third defeat in a row for Bayern, who suffered a bitter setback in the Vonovia Ruhrstadion.”
England:
The Sun: “TUC-HELL- Thomas Tuchel is on the brink of disaster after horror defeat at Bayern Munich… and Harry Kane’s side are made to pay for the missed goal.”
Daily Mail: “Thomas Tuchel will ‘NOT be sacked’ by Bayern Munich despite their 3-2 defeat to Bochum and the resulting EIGHT point gap to league leaders Bayer Leverkusen – and he is determined to keep fighting.”
“FC Bayern Munich’s surprise defeat against Bochum is delayed by 15 minutes after fans throw tennis balls onto the pitch…”

France:
L`Equipe: “Upamecano’s week of suffering with FC Bayern: Dayot Upamecano may not have found sleep easily last night after he was sent off for the second time in four days. After a promising end to 2023, the French defender started 2024 full of desire and ambition.
RMC Sport: “FC Bayern Munich is no longer responsive. After the defeat at Bayer Leverkusen last weekend (3-0) and the defeat in Rome against Lazio on Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 (1-0), the Bavarian giant crashed again in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Thomas Tuchel’s team lost 2-3 in Bochum. This has plunged FC Bayern into crisis.”
Italy:
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “A real hell. For Bayern Munich, but also for Thomas Tuchel, who is now in great danger. After defeats against Leverkusen and Lazio, Bayern also suffered defeat against Bochum (3:2). And there is not even a shadow left of the team that dominated the German championship. In September, Bayern eliminated Bochum with a confident 7-0. Five months later everything is different. And now it can be the coach’s turn too.”
