First shot for Tuchel! Bayern sensationally crashed out of the cup, Freiburg won in Munich for the first time in history. The fans are angry
A problem for Bayern Munich, or rather its management. As recently as Monday, the Bavarian giant was in the running for the treble, but that is no longer the case. It’s out of the German Cup. Even coach Thomas Tuchel didn’t help the team to advance past Freiburg. The fans are very angry with the management.

Tuesday night brought a big surprise in German football. Bayern Munich are out of the cup, having failed to beat Freiburg at home. It is certainly worth mentioning that Freiburg won for the first time ever in Munich on Tuesday night. It took them 24 tries to do it.
For Freiburg themselves, this is just another confirmation of the fantastic conceptual work they have been doing, as the modest side has been among the German top in recent seasons. Last season, the team with a huge fan base reached the cup final, and now they can repeat their journey, or even improve on it, and win the competition.
However, it won’t be that cheerful in Bavaria. Bayern recently sacked young coach Julian Nagelsmann, saying that things haven’t been quite right since the start of the year in terms of play and results. Despite the fact that they were still in the running for the treble.
In addition, the club’s management had a total failure in communication. Both towards Nagelsmann and the public. The new coach, Thomas Tuchel, whose qualities could not be doubted, but it was clear that in the event of a failure, he would also be the one to be targeted.
And that is exactly what is happening now. That Bayern ran over Dortmund at the weekend? Nice, but the cup is a highly prestigious competition in Germany and so this is a big deal. Not to mention the fact that the treble is no longer in sight.
What’s the public reaction?
With Julian Nagelsmann getting a lot of backing in the football world after his clumsy sacking, it was more or less obvious what the reaction would be. And from all over the world. Even the big Twitter accounts are now making fun of Bayern.
And the fans who are asking a clear specific question are angry too. “We played for three trophies with Nagelsmann, yet the progression under him was supposedly in the wrong direction. Now what will be the consequences for those responsible for Tuchel’s arrival? Will they quit?” sounds just one of many similar responses.
Under the post with the result of the match on Bayern’s social media, we can also widely observe various animations, photos or gifs with just the person of coach Nagelsmann.
Bayern fans are also talking about karma and more than the result, it seems that they are concerned about the way the club is currently being run. Some are ironically “expecting” Nagelsmann’s return.
