Leeds United fans say the same thing about Tuchel and Bielsa during Champions League final

Leeds United fans are counting down the days until their long-awaited Premier League return but have had action to watch in the meantime.

The Champions League came to a close on Sunday, with Bayern Munich chasing a sixth European Cup as they faced off against Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG were looking to clinch their first Champions League title, with Thomas Tuchel the man pushing his side towards glory, and eagle-eyed Leeds fans spotted something interesting.

During the first half, Tuchel was pictured sitting on a cool box on the touchline as he urged his side on - which led to comparisons with Marcelo Bielsa's own touchline antics.

The Leeds boss is famous for the Leeds bucket he sits on during matches and has previously sat on coolboxes during his managerial career elsewhere, including with Marseille.

Naturally, that led to discussions on social media on Tuchel imitating the Whites boss and plenty of fans took to social media to have their say.

Some questioned whether Bielsa has started a trend that could become more common across European football over the course of the coming months.
