Bayern Munich spirits are sore now after Wednesday night’s 4-1 Champions League thrashing at the hands of FC Barcelona.
The once-positive mood surrounding Bayern’s energetic start to the season has all but dissipated — and not even the execs are immune from the tense atmosphere. Top board member for sport Max Eberl, faced with questions over Bayern’s defensive performances, snapped back at the reporter who asked it — as captured by Az journalist Patrick Strasser.
“Get your coaching license, then you can do it better!” Eberl is quoted saying, though we do not know to whom. “It’s so easy to blame the defense when we concede goals. That’s exactly what it is: you want to divide us. We won’t allow that.”
A strong defense of the team that might be appreciated in the locker room, or a moment of lost control that will soon result in apology? We’ll see…in any case, in the wake of this shellacking by Barça, it appears the Bavarians are starting to circle the wagons.
