Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel said his side still had a chance to revive their season with a Bundesliga title, despite sitting second with five games to play.
Bayern host last-placed Hertha Berlin tomorrow, but could be four points behind at kick-off should leaders Borussia Dortmund win away at relegation-threatened Bochum.
Tuchel has won just two of seven games since taking over as manager after the sacking of Julian Nagelsmann in late March, a period which has included elimination from the Champions League and the German Cup.
“We’re very honest with each other. We’re the last ones to sweep it under the carpet,” Tuchel told the pre-match press conference. “Everyone knows my opinion about the performances, but one of the nice things about sport is that you get an opportunity to make things good again the next time you play.
