Owen Hargreaves suggests that Bayern Munich is observing a noticeable distinction between different age groups within their team.

Bayern Munich are facing a concerning “divide” within their squad, according to former midfielder Owen Hargreaves. As the team struggles to find their form, manager Thomas Tuchel is working hard to motivate his players.

The recent defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, coupled with their elimination from the German Cup, has left the UEFA Champions League as their last hope for success this season.

Hargreaves, speaking ahead of Bayern’s clash with Lazio, expressed his concerns about the team’s current situation. He believes that there is a noticeable gap between the younger and older players within the squad. The consistency in performance and standards that are expected from players like Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, and Harry Kane is not being met by the younger members of the team.

Tuchel is frustrated by the lack of confidence and courage displayed by his players. Even when faced with adversity, such as going behind in a match, the team is struggling to bounce back. The pressure of performing at the highest level is taking its toll on the Bayern players.

It is clear that the players are feeling the weight of expectations at Bayern Munich. With their hopes of domestic silverware fading, the Champions League clash against Lazio is now of utmost importance. The team will need to come together and find a way to overcome their current struggles if they are to salvage their season.
