Bayern Munich were eliminated from the German Cup by Freiburg in the quarter-finals, creating a surprise in the world of football. The Bavarian club, big favorites in the competition, lost 2-1. This defeat is all the more surprising given that Bayern had just won the Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund in the league, with a team that had shown a nice dynamic. Thomas Tuchel’s players failed to confirm their victory, falling back into their usual ways.
During this match, Sadio Mané, the Senegalese striker, was not at his best. Although he tried several plays and showed himself active on the pitch, he missed out on finishing and failed to score despite the chances he had. His performance was quite disappointing compared to his usual standards and reputation as a decisive player.
Despite this disappointment, Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel maintained a sporting attitude: “We have to accept this defeat. We have to look to Saturday’s match in the Bundesliga, because it’s very close”. Chance of the calendar, Bayern will find Freiburg this weekend in the league.
This elimination of Bayern Munich is good news for the other teams still in contention in the competition, who see their chance of winning the German Cup increasing. It is also proof that surprises are always possible in football, even when talking about a club like Bayern Munich.
