Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the pre-season today as Bayern Munich cruised to a 4-3 win over the Reds
Thomas Tuchel admitted Liverpool’s strong performance against Bayern Munich came as no surprise despite the wet conditions the match took place in.
Liverpool and Bayern faced off in Singapore yesterday, with the latter winning 4-3 despite starting the game two goals behind. The Bundesliga giants responded to that early setback with goals from Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane before bringing Alisson through twice more late in the game.
The Reds are unbeaten in pre-season so far and will wonder how they ended up on the losing side after such a convincing start in this friendly. You have to give Bayern credit for showing the fighting spirit to stay competitive in a game where little else but pride mattered. Indeed, Tuchel was delighted with the reaction of his players in a game which he acknowledged would always be a true test of his side’s progress in pre-season.
“It’s a very good end to ten tiring days [in Asia], it was very demanding. They took a big step forward today: the performance was good, the result was very good and it was a deserved result against one of them.” “I’m very happy that our players are showing such performance and an exclamation mark at the end of this tour,” he said after the final whistle.
The former Chelsea manager went on to explain why facing Liverpool is always a difficult task: “It was a real away game and we expected it.” There are many Liverpool fans in Singapore and Malaysia. The intensity didn’t surprise me. Maybe it was a little more difficult for us because they started earlier [pre-season] and they will start the season earlier. It was important not to be too shy and to stand up and accept the fight. When you play against Liverpool it’s always an intense game. You can’t expect anything else.
This match showed that we are on the right track. You can only win against Liverpool if you play as a team and go through tough times. “The way the game went was more difficult than it already was because we were down 2-0 and it’s always very physical against Liverpool, so we got up and fought and never abandoned our discipline and fighting spirit.”

The competition to sign “one of the best” English talent has now been won by Liverpool.
Trey Nyoni, a midfield prospect for Leicester City, is reportedly on his way to joining the Liverpool academy after the Reds reportedly beat out other teams for his signature.
The 16-year-old England youth international was signed by the Merseyside giants ahead of competing teams, according to the Secret Scout, who rate Nyoni as “one of the best” players in the nation.
Harvey Owen, a 14-year-old Wolves player, is the only significant addition to the Reds’ youth ranks this window despite Liverpool’s limited academy additions this summer.
Nyoni, a Leicester teenager who impressed with the Foxes last season in the U-18 Premier League and FA Youth Cup, could nevertheless be a significant acquisition for Liverpool.
And now the midfielder will move to Liverpool this summer, where Nyoni will be an exciting new addition to the team’s academy and a potential future senior player for Jurgen Klopp.
Trey Nyoni can achieve his full potential with Liverpool’s assistance.
Liverpool’s academy is no stranger to snagging the best and brightest players in England, and Nyoni’s signing is just one more illustration of the hard work the Reds put in behind the scenes to keep their youth ranks full.
The Merseyside giants, who have one of the best academy systems in the country and have recently produced fantastic players, could help the young midfielder realize his exciting potential.
Nyoni may not succeed Steven Gerrard, but he or she will soon be able to follow in the footsteps of Curtis Jones and Trent Alexander-Arnold and make the leap from the Liverpool academy to the senior squad, which is the goal of many young players.
