Thomas Tuchel laments being 'brutally punished' by Man City and admits Bayern Munich face a 'huge mountain' to climb in second leg of Champions League quarter-final... but insists he was 'very happy with the first 70 minutes'

Thomas Tuchel has admitted his Bayern Munich side were brutally punished by Manchester City after suffering a 3-0 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

The reigning German champions fell behind to Rodri's stunning first-half opener, before a mistake from Dayot Upamecano allowed Bernardo Silva to double City's lead.

Bayern's task in the second leg became even tougher when Erling Haaland added a third for the hosts.

Tuchel, who was appointed as Bayern boss last month, claimed he was happy with his side's performance despite the 3-0 defeat.
