“Tuchel Turned Bayern Into Chelsea”: Social Media Reacts As Bundesliga Title Race Takes Huge Twist

• Thomas Tuchel has been slammed following Bayern Munich's recent setback in the Bundesliga
• Tuchel's Bayern stumbled to an unexpected 3-1 home defeat to RB Leipzig on Saturday
• The result could prove costly in Bayern's attempt to win an 11th consecutive German championship

Football fans trooped to social media to express their worry about Bayern Munich's steady decline since the arrival of former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.

The Bavarian giants were on the cusp of a treble prior to Tuchel's appointment as replacement for Julian Nagelsmann. However, results have dramatically headed south, with Bayern on the brink of going trophyless after embarrassing exits from the Champions League and DFB Pokal.

With the Bundesliga crown, the only trophy available for Tuchel and Bayern, it appears that could also slip through their hands following a shock home defeat to RB Leipzig on Saturday, May 20.

As reported by Eurosport, an early goal from red-hot Serge Gnabry was equalized by Konrad Leimer shortly after the hour mark before two late penalties from Chelsea-bound Christopher Nkunku and Dominik Szoboszlai put Bayern's title charge in limbo.

The Bavarians' closest rival, Borussia Dortmund, who have played one game less than Tuchel's team, could overtake the ten-time defending champions if they beat Augsburg on Sunday, according to GOAL.

The defeat, Munich's fourth in all competitions under Tuchel, has raised eyebrows about the tactical nous of the 49-year-old manager.

"A very disappointing spell so far."

@nii_affum called Tuchel a 'fraud':

"He’s a fraud. Couldn’t win UCL with that PSG super team. He’s bottled the 3 trophies Bayern were pursuing religiously."

Chelsea owners admit Tuchel mistake

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Chelsea's owners have reportedly admitted they made a mistake in sacking Thomas Tuchel in their maiden season in England.

Tuchel was relieved of his duties after just seven games in charge after the Todd Boehly-led Clearlake consortium bought the club from the embattled oligarch Roman Abramovich.

Chelsea's owners have now admitted that sacking Tuchel and hiring Potter immediately was not the best call of action.
