A manager whose tactical brilliance underpinned Chelsea’s Champions League triumph in 2021, succeeding Bayern on the European honours list, blundered in perhaps the biggest Bundesliga game for years earlier this month, attempting to mimic Alonso’s tactics against Bayer Leverkusen: playing 3-4-2-1 backfired, along with selecting Eric Dier ahead of Matthijs de Ligt, in a 3-0 defeat. There was the way Tuchel was permitted to smash the club’s transfer record for Harry Kane, who scored goals by the hatful, and yet Bayern were still less than the sum of their considerable parts; his team were the opposite of Leverkusen in that respect.
