Bayern knocked out by a D3 club in the Cup

Against all expectations, Bayern Munich was knocked out of the DFB Pokal by a third-placed team.

Huge sensation in Germany! Bayern Munich left the German Cup on the 2nde turn, as was the case in 2020 and 2021. And it is facing the 15e of the third division that the Bavarians have lowered their flag.

A big slap for Bayern

The heroes of the day are the players from Saarbrucken. They managed to take the scalp of the Bavarian ogre by scoring in the 96the minute of play. A goal for history and which was the work of Marcel Gaus, a 34-year-old defender.

Bayern fell even though they had opened the scoring in this match. At the 16e, Thomas Muller had given the visitors the advantage. Parity was then restored at 45e and was signed Patrick Sontheimer. An achievement which gave a lot of confidence to the modest local team.

The feat of Saarbrucken, whose last appearance in the Bundesliga in 1993, is all the greater as Bayern played almost all of its stars. Only Harry Kane was missing among the usual starters. And as misfortune never comes alone, Bayern also had the misfortune of losing Matthijs De Ligt to injury. Thomas Tuchel must have it bad after this nightmarish evening.
