It seemed that Bayern Munich was immune to everything. To the national scandal that Kimmich made by admitting that, for now, he does not want to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. To the positive of his coach Nagelsmann. And to the jail sentence that, for now, Lucas Hernández managed to avoid. He kept winning his matches. Until, suddenly, the sand castle collapsed one afternoon in Gladbach and Borussia kicked him out of Pokal in the most cruel way, giving him a little hand. From one day to the next, chaos took hold of the Bundesliga champion. Bayern is a sea of doubts. Soccer stuff.
The first to cross the cables was the Coman end. As soon as the clash ended, he wanted to enter the Gladbach dressing room to resolve a scuffle with Bensebaini that had its origin in the final minutes of the match. The Bayern staff managed to stop him in time, thus preventing things from going overboard. The Gaul was not the only face of the debacle. Upamecano, who arrived this summer in exchange for 42.5 kilos from Leipzig, sinned in practically all the goals and ended up being substituted in 55. But it was too late. There was no going back. The possibility of continuing to fight for the triplet disappeared.
And that of being able to beat another record. Bayern stayed in 85 consecutive games scoring, eleven of the eternal record that River Plate established between 1936 and 1939. “I’m in shock”, were the words of the sporting director Salihamidzic as soon as the game ended. “I have no words.” The German press, yes. “Germany laughs at Bayern,” headlined the daily Bild. The last time Bayern conceded five goals was in 2019 against a Frankfurt (5-1) led by the same coach who was on the Gladbach bench on Wednesday: Adi Hütter. With a single game, he has once again made the debris of the six-time European champion.
