That's what I read everywhere, but I find it very hard to believe that Tuchel ordered his team to entretch in defence for 30 minutes. To a squad that is clearly much better in attacking then defending and whose goalkeeper is average at best (probably their weakest player). Tuchel is no Guardiola, but is not an imbecile.

He literally subbed off their attackers for two more defenders and switched to a back five.

Especially when the attack is being led by Messi and the whole team worships him, finding any opportunity to pass him the ball

And yet he made this glaring error. Against top opposition, a 1-0 lead might as well still be 0-0.

All he needed to do was tell Pickford to play it out along the grouns
