The late winner in Bayern Munich’s tenacious 2-1 victory over FC Copenhagen came from Mathys Tel. Thomas Tuchel, the head coach, was effusive in his admiration for the French wonderkid after the game.
He claimed Tel had the proper mindset about his current position on the team and was prepared to continue fighting despite Kane’s presence. Tuchel emphasized Tel’s age before adding that he always had a smile on his face and had excellent finishing in both games and practice.
This season, it’s become a common occurrence for Tel to score last-second goals, and the match in the Champions League away was no exception. Earlier this season, do you recall the similarly tense matchup with Borussia Monchengladbach? The only difference between today’s game and that one was that Leroy Sané, not Jamal Musiala, equalized the score. Otherwise, the results were nearly identical. After falling behind 1-0, Bayern scores an equalizer before Tel gives them the victory.
