The competition of Bayern Munich with Inter Milan in the quarter -finals promised to be very exciting and even and in fact it was. The first match, however, ended with the win of the Italians, for which Lautaro Martinez and Davide Frattesi hit. The latter in the 88th minute determined the result of the meeting only three minutes after Thomas Mueller equalized.
Bayern Munich lost to I inteter Milan. German media: “damaged fairy tale”
It was Mueller that particularly touched the German media, because the legend of Bayern played for the first time after the announcement that after the season he would leave the club. “Bayern destroys a beautiful fairy tale about Mueller,” writes “Bild” after the match. The same source asks the question whether it was the last match of the German in the Champions League in the colors of the Bavarians at the Allianz Arena.
“When he came in, the whole stadium got up, and later showed that he still knew how to do it. Ecstasy at the stadium and a beautiful story. However, less than three minutes later Frattesi broke his fairy tale. Bayern lost at home in the Champions League after a series of 22. Matches without defeat. The last one took place on April 7, 2021 (2: 3 from PSG)” – we read.
Another media giant from Germany also focused on the club legend. “In his first match after the announcement of the departure, Thomas Mueller almost saved Bayern Munich from failure. However, Davide Frattesi from Inter thwarted these dreams,” writes “Kicker”.
“On Tuesday evening, there was little to history that no screenwriter could write better. Mueller entered the field in the first match of the Champions League quarter -finals with Inter Milan four days after the announcement of his departure and scored an equalizing goal eleven minutes later. In a typical style he stood on the right place at the right place at a further post to get the back of Konrad Laimer and put the ball behind goal line ” – we read further.
“The defense of Bayern fails, Kane leaves much to be desired,” writes Sport.de. It was written about the English striker that he had a “exceptionally unlucky performance” and “wasted several 100 % situations.”
“Late shock destroys the Mueller's fairy tale,” adds sport1.de. “The German caused euphoria, but it was destroyed by the goal of Fratessi. Bayern was better, but he lacked the necessary magic. They could not find the necessary gaps in defense of Inter. When opportunities appeared, they were undecided or were unlucky” – it was written.
Inter -Bayern rematch is scheduled for April 16 at 21:00. The winners will play in the semi -final with Barcelona or Borussia Dortmund.
