Thomas Tuchel already back on earth. After brilliantly winning the Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich quickly fell back into their failings in the German Cup by being eliminated by Freiburg (2-1).
It is not the drama of the century for the former PSG coach either. It has been three years since 20-time winners of the competition Bayern did not reach the semi-finals of the German Cup, after two eliminations in the 2nd round in the fall of 2020 and the fall 2021.
Revenge on Saturday in the Bundesliga
“It’s a bitter evening for us, especially in a knockout competition, reacted Tuchel. There were two shots from Freiburg. It’s a home game, it’s the Cup. We are sporty enough to know how much we need to play a good game. We have to accept this defeat. We have to look to Saturday’s match in the Bundesliga, because it’s very close”.
Chance of the calendar, the Bavarians will find Freiburg this weekend in BuLi (Bundesliga, the German championship), where the error is not allowed: Borussia Dortmund is only two points behind.
