Bayern’s nightmare continues! The Bavarian giant unexpectedly fell, Dortmund can go on a tear
Bayern Munich and an eleventh title in a row? There is a chance, however, mainly due to Borussia Dortmund not taking advantage of the Bavarian giant’s losses. Germany’s most successful club has a lot to deal with, as it has now lost unexpectedly again.
Bayern Munich and an eleventh title in a row? There is a chance, however, mainly due to Borussia Dortmund not taking advantage of the Bavarian giant’s losses. Germany’s most successful club has a lot to deal with, as it has now lost unexpectedly again.
The club’s management is once again under a giant barrage of criticism. For the umpteenth time in recent weeks. When Julian Nagelsmann was dismissed as coach, Bayern were still in contention for all three trophies. Shortly after his end, it can only fight for the league title and that will be a drama.
Neither Oliver Kahn nor Hasan Salihamidzic could even communicate the end of Nagelsmann in a relevant way. However, Thomas Tuchel was expected to be at least a worthy replacement. After all, he is one of the best coaches of today.
But Tuchel is certainly not having an ideal start in his new job. His first game went well when Bayern beat Dortmund 4-2 at home, but since then things have been falling apart.
Right after the win against Dortmund, Bayern were knocked out of the German Cup, where they lost to Freiburg. They then came back in the league, only to be beaten by Manchester City in the Champions League, followed by a draw with Hoffenheim and a draw with Manchester City, which meant the end of the millionaire competition.
Munich could have at least maintained their position in the Bundesliga, or even improved their position depending on the results of their rivals in the title race, but they failed. This time on the ground of Mainz.
Bayern did take the lead in the 29th minute thanks to Sadio Mané, but that was all. In the second half, Mainz not only equalised but also turned the tide and won 3-1.
The Bavarian giant is still in first place, but it may only be for a few hours. At 18:30, Dortmund will play their match against Frankfurt. If Borussia wins, they will go into the lead with a one-point advantage.
