'We made too many mistakes' - Julian Nagelsmann critical of performance after Bayern Munich scrape RB Salzburg draw

Julian Nagelsmann criticised his Bayern Munich side for making «too many mistakes» after the German giants scraped a first-leg draw against RB Salzburg. The Austrians were moments away from a famous Champions League round-of-16 victory before Kingsley Coman spared Bayern's blushes with a final-minute strike. Ad/> But it was, on the whole, another frustrating night for Nagelsmann's team, with the Bundesliga leaders again short of vigour and creativity.

»The goal we conceded was actually relatively easy to defend. The finish was good, but it was avoidable." /> Having been stunned by VfL Bochum on Saturday, Nagelsmann would have hoped that the Champions League would offer a chance at immediate improvement, but Bayern, utilising an attacking three-at-the-back formation, struggled again. Bayern enjoyed nearly three-quarters of possession in Austria but could not trouble home goalkeeper Philipp Kohn with the regularity that Nagelsmann would have liked.
