They became the first team to score five goals against the mighty Bavarians since Borussia Dortmund’s 5-2 win in the 2012 German Cup final and the first ever team to score three goals in the first 21 minutes against Bayern in a German Cup game.
“I’m absolutely shocked. We simply didn’t turn up,” Bayern sports director and former player Hasan Salihamidzic told ARD. “We were just not there. We did not win a single tackle or challenge in the entire first half.
“Everything that could go wrong went wrong. We let ourselves be outplayed in every situation – a collective blackout.”
Gladbach scored with five of their six shots on target – with Bayern having more possession and more efforts than the hosts without scoring.
German Cup Shocker – Bayern Munich Worst Defeat: It was only the second defeat Bayern, who named a first-choice team, have suffered under Julian Nagelsmann and ended a run of scoring in 85 consecutive games. Nagelsmann was at home self-isolating, having tested positive for Covid-19.
