Bayern Munich faces heavy criticism after German Cup elimination

“Disaster”, “disgrace”, “shame” – these are some of the words used by German media for Bayern Munich after the elimination from the 2nd round of the German Cup tournament after losing 1:2 to third division Saarbrücken.

This is the fourth year in a row in which Bayern will not only not win, but will not even reach the semi-finals of the tournament.

For Bayern, this is also the third defeat in the 2nd round in the last four years. Still, the German media were shocked after Tuchel’s side lost to 15th in the third division. The portal tz.de gave extremely poor ratings to as many as four players, and on the scale where 1 is a world-class footballer and 6 is a disaster. Buna Saar, Kim Min-Jae, Alphonso Davis and Frans Kraetzig received 5.

“For Bayern, this is blasphemy and an attitude that will never be accepted in such a club,” Bild journalists wrote after the game. “It is unbelievable. Bayern are once again embarrassed by the German Cup, which they last won in 2020,” summarizes Bavarian tabloid TZ.
