Mainoo’s strong club season and Young Player of the Year nomination didn’t sway Tuchel, who preferred defenders like Reece James in midfield over giving the 21-year-old a chance. The result? A baffling, trophy-less tournament for a player who clearly thrives under pressure—and left fans wondering what might have been.
