Champions League: Fans Slam Dayot Upamecano After Shambolic Defending Against Man City

• Football fans slammed Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano on Twitter
• The 24-year-old was largely blamed for his team's 3-0 loss to Manchester City
• The result puts Bayern in a precarious position ahead of the UCL second-leg tie

Football fans have taken to social media to rip into Bayern Munich defender, Dayot Upamecano following his abysmal display in his side's 3-0 thrashing at Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's side have one foot in the semi-final courtesy of goals from Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and Erling Haaland on Tuesday night.

The English giants also have Upamecano largely to thank, as he failed to contain the ferocious energy of the City's attackers.

The Frenchman was understandably blamed after his costly error allowed the English side to score their second goal, effectively killing the game midway in the second half, Daily Star reports.

Jack Grealish dispossessed Upamecano as he attempted to dribble out from the back, before backheeling the ball into the path of a charging Haaland.

The Norwegian then raced into the huge space inside the penalty box before chipping the ball to Silva at the back post, who nodded it in.

Fans troll Tuchel after loss

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich manager, Thomas Tuchel has also been trolled heavily on social media after his side were humbled by Man City.

The Bavarians were put to the sword by a vicious Citizens side, who put three past them in the first leg of their Champions League last eight tie.

Sports Brief reported that it would take a mighty miracle for Tuchel's charges to overturn the scoreline when both sides clash next Wednesday.

Takeaways from Bayern's defeat

Sports Brief also reported on Man City versus Bayern Munich being the pick of the quarter-final ties and the game certainly living up to its billing.

With a semi-final spot up for grabs, Pep Guardiola's charges produced a masterclass performance to keep their search for the Champions League alive.

The Man City boss appeared to have mapped out a strategy which dealt with Tuchel, a man touted as the Spaniard's kryptonite, in the first leg of the tie.
