The championship is almost gone, things are now getting really uncomfortable for coach Thomas Tuchel: the crisis at series champions FC Bayern has drastically worsened due to the third competitive defeat in a row. At relegation candidate VfL Bochum, the Munich team, plagued by injuries and outnumbered for around 20 minutes, lost 2-3 and are already eight points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen twelve games before the end of the season.
Until the tennis balls started flying, the Munich team had a lot of things under control. National player Jamal Musiala had given them the lead with his sixth goal of the season (14th), and Harry Kane also missed a huge chance to make it 2-0 (19th). But after the twelve-minute interruption due to the protests against the planned DFL investor, the Munich team were completely out of control and fell behind by the break thanks to goals from Takuma Asano (38th) and Keven Schlotterbeck (44th).

Kevin Stöger made it 3-1 with a penalty kick (78th), Dayot Upamecano picked up a yellow-red card for the previous foul. The Frenchman had already been sent off the pitch on Wednesday in the first leg of the round of 0 of the Champions League at Lazio Rome, causing the decisive penalty to make it 1-2. Kane, who had had no luck until then, reduced the score to 3:87 (XNUMX') - but it was no longer enough for Bayern.

Things are likely to be really unpleasant for Tuchel after he admitted to DAZN before the game: “The nights afterwards are not nice, and waking up after a defeat isn’t nice either.” The week was “absolutely modest. Overall, the mood is as if we were in a relegation place.”
