In the wake of Manchester United’s exit from the UEFA Champions League following a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich, manager Erik ten Hag has identified Bayern Munich as one of the leading contenders to claim the prestigious trophy this season.
Following the intense clash at Old Trafford, where Kingsley Coman’s second-half strike secured Thomas Tuchel’s side’s victory and subsequently eliminated Manchester United, Ten Hag shared his insights during the post-match press conference.
“We always face pressure, aspiring to emerge victorious in every match. Today, against one of the favored teams in the Champions League, we gave our all to secure the win,” remarked Ten Hag. “The belief was palpable. It resonated prior to the game, manifested through the team’s spirit on the pitch, and will persist at Anfield on Sunday.”
He further reflected, “Ultimately, our performance was commendable, and the defeat was undeserved considering the overall display.”
In Ten Hag’s estimation, Bayern Munich appears to be a formidable force in the pursuit of Champions League glory this season, reinforcing their status as a team to watch. As the tournament unfolds, the competition promises to intensify, with each match becoming a crucible, testing the mettle of the participating teams.
