Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel was furious with the referee in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Tuchel's Bayern were beaten 4-1 on aggregate and drew 1-1 on the night against Manchester City in Munich.
Trailing 3-0 from the first leg in Manchester, Bayern had a tall order and were unable to rise to the occasion to get back in the tie.
Post-game, Tuchel aired grievances, including: Two things couldn't keep up with the level: the pitch wasn't in a good condition and also the referee unfortunately was grade E.
He then added: We can play at this level, but we can also play at a different level, which we unfortunately saw recently.
The willingness that we need to show, improve and support the team positively and to show this greed and hunger to reach our targets that we have here at FC Bayern. This is what you agree when you sign for this club - but we need more support.
I think everybody gives their best, it might not seem like that -- but I believe with more confidence and calmness we'll get there to show some consistency. It takes time, but we want to be ready for Saturday and show our character on the pitch."
