Thomas Tuchel's brutal dressing room rant at Harry Kane and other Bayern Munich stars leaked

Thomas Tuchel delivered a brutal seven-word assessment to his Bayern Munich players following their 1-0 defeat to Lazio in the Champions League.

Pressure continues to mount on Tuchel following a string of poor performances.

Bayern are currently five points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and it's likely their 11-year reign of dominance will end.

Their chances of qualifying from the Champions League last 16 took a blow in Rome on Wednesday evening.

Ciro Immobile's penalty after Dayot Upamecano received a red card in the second half means Bayern have it all to do at the Allianz Arena next month.

Per Sky presenter Riccardo Basile, Tuchel delivered a scathing putdown to his Bayern players in the Stadio Olimpico dressing room.

He allegedly said to the stunned group: "You're not as good as I thought, then I just have to adapt to your level."

Among the players in Bayern's ranks are World Cup winners Manuel Neuer and Thomas Muller, plus Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane and Harry Kane.

CBS Sports pundit Jamie Carragher claimed Bayern played like a 'team of individuals' against Lazio, which will increase the scrutiny on Tuchel's position.

Carragher explained: "I said before the game, Bayern Munich, for me, are a team of individuals, not a team right now.

"You see the face of the manager, Thomas Tuchel, he's going to be under huge pressure.

"And on the back of what happened against Bayer Leverkusen, really poor performance. We saw the same again.

"They missed chances, that man [Kane], in the first half, should've put Bayern Munich in front.

"But a Bayern Munich team in the Champions League don't have a shot on target for the first time in five years in a game, any game. Shows how poor it was.

"I still think it's probably a 50-50 game right now, you'd still expect Bayern Munich to win the game at home, but the fact Lazio have got the advantage means it's all to play for."

Bayern return to action against VfL Bochum on Sunday. Defeat there could spell the end for Tuchel, who took over from Julian Nagelsmann in March 2023.
