There are those who take it out on Guardiola, who stresses the errors of Xabi Alonso, Dante and Boateng and who also speaks of “Portuguese nightmare”, referring to the defeat in the 1987 European Cup final in Vienna always against the Port. The German press does not spare criticism of Bayern Munich, after the heavy 3-1 knockoutsuffered by the German champions in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Lusetegui’s Lusitanians.

“TRIPLE DREAM AT RISK” – It will not be easy for Muller and his companions to reassemble the passive immediately, especially if the various Robben, Ribery and Schweinsteiger will not recover from their respective injuries. These absences, however, do not represent an alibi for the ‘Bild’ which uses strong words: “1-3 with Porto. Bad presentation of Bayern! For a long time we didn’t see the team playing so badly”. ‘Ard’, on the other hand, takes it out on the players, noting in particular the individual errors of Xabi Alonso, Dante and Boateng who “push away the dream of the treble” (Bayern has the Bundesliga in his pocket and is in the Cup final Germany).
“INCUBO PORTOGHESE” – ‘Sportschau’, the sports program of the German public broadcaster Ard, speaks of “Portuguese nightmare” recalling the defeat in the 1987 European Cup final in Vienna always against Porto. Finally, ‘Der Spiegel’ speaks of “qualification hanging by a thread” and is not tender towards Guardiola: “Porto has put Bayern in serious trouble: Pep Guardiola’s eleven fails to impose his game based on the ball possession and pay serious individual errors “.
