THOMAS TUCHEL has slammed defender Dayot Upamecano for his costly errors against Manchester City.
The Bayern Munich defender was at fault for City’s second goal after he was brushed off the ball by Jack Grealish.
He then left Erling Haaland unmarked to score the host’s third and final goal of the Champions League quarter-final clash at the Etihad Stadium.
And his manager, Tuchel, did not try to cover up for his star as he claimed Upamecano did not stay focused.
He said: “[Upamecano] made a few too many errors.
“There were two are three situations where he lacked a bit of concentration and made risky decisions.

“That should never happen at this level, in this part of the pitch. He will learn from it.”
Tuchel did insist that there is no anger towards the errors from the French international, despite it leaving Bayern on the cusp of being knocked out.
He added: “We aren’t angry with him.
“He is still young and he will still make mistakes.

“But in a match at this level, you have to play without errors to achieve a result.”
The former Chelsea boss did also suggest that he was happy with his team’s performance despite the drubbing.
Bayern will have to overcome a three-goal deficit when they face the Citizens at the Allianz Arena next Wednesday.
