2-3! Big upset! The Bundesliga 10 champions lost again, Kane's curse reappeared, or he will encounter the four major empty!
There was a big upset in the 22nd round of the Bundesliga, and after losing to Lazio in the Champions League in midweek, Bayern unexpectedly overturned in the league. They lost 3-2 to relegation side Bochum, and are eight points behind Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the table, and their hopes of defending their title have become slim.
As the hegemon of the Bundesliga, Bayern can be said to have completely dominated the league in the past few seasons. They have not left the league title behind since the start of the 2012-2013 season, and have now completed the feat of winning the Bundesliga ten times in a row, and no team in the whole of European football can match them. Last summer, with the addition of strong new signings such as Kane and Kim Min-jae, countless fans believed that Bayern should easily complete the eleventh consecutive championship and once again win the salad plate of the Bundesliga!
But Bayern's top management may have forgotten that Kane has the curse of "no crown". As England's top scorer, Kane, who has played in world football for many years, has yet to win a single trophy. At first, everyone thought that it was Tottenham Hotspur as a platform that limited Kane, so last summer, Kane chose to switch to Bayern Munich and embarked on a seemingly easiest path to winning the championship. However, everyone didn't expect that Kane's arrival brought the curse of "no crown" to Bayern.
In this season's Bundesliga, the big dark horse Leverkusen team has sprung up, and after defeating Bayern in the 21st round of the battle of Tianwang Mountain, they have firmly grasped the initiative to win the championship. Bayer Leverkusen won 2-1 against Heidenheim in the first game of this round, extending their lead to 8 points, and Bayern must take three points against relegation team Bochum if they don't want to fall out early! Only 14 minutes into the game, Bayern played a sharp attack, Musiala received Goretzka's ball in the penalty area and fired from a small angle to help Bayern break the deadlock and take a 1-0 lead.
This goal was one of the few bright moments of Bayern's game, and the game since then has completely fallen into Bochum's control, and they have frequently used counter-attacks to create threats. In the 38th minute, Japanese international Takuma Asano scored a volley from a small angle to help Bochum successfully pull the score to 1-1. However, the good show was not over, in the 44th minute, taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity, Bochum scored with a header from central defender Schlotterbeck in the penalty area, and before half-time, the score was reversed to 2-1!
Yibian fought again, and Bayern, not to be left behind, launched a crazy counterattack, but it was the home team Bochum that scored. In the 78th minute, Bayern central defender Yu Parmecano recklessly elbowed a foul in the penalty area, giving the opponent a penalty gift, and at the same time, he also allowed himself to eat the second yellow card of the game and was sent off. Stegger took the penalty to extend the difference between the two teams to two.
Although in the following games, Bayern, who played one less, scored a goal by Kane and once saw the hope of equalizing, but the disadvantage of playing one less still made them swallow the bitter fruit of defeat in the end. Bochum beat Bayern Munich 3-2 in an upset, avenging the loss of the first leg and temporarily moving up to the middle of the table.
Today's Bayern can be said to have stood on the edge of the cliff, if they can't find their form as soon as possible, then the hegemony of the Bundesliga will encounter a season of four empty. Tuchel is out of class, I'm afraid it's not far off!
