Last night, Bayern Munich were knocked out of the German Cup by a third division team. What agitated the German club behind the scenes. Asked by Bild following this hiccup, Lothar Matthaüs did not spare the Bavarians. “The defeat in Saarbrücken is Bavaria’s biggest cup embarrassment since our elimination at Vestenbergsgreuth (in 1994, editor’s note). Something like this happened to us too. But failing four times in a row in the cup is embarrassing and shameful for FC Bayern. Bayern were eliminated by second division club Kiel, then lost 5-0 at Gladbach and at home to Freiburg. Now it’s Saarbrücken. It’s inexplicable.”
Then, he tackled Tuchel. “If I were him, I would have used my best eleven and rotated them after 50 or 60 minutes. Not using Harry Kane at all is unfortunate. On the other hand, there were enough experienced players on the field to win this match! A match that was “ashamed” to his eyes. TT is unlikely to appreciate Matthaüs’ exit, he who already has to face the anger of the locker room with this humiliation.
