In a duel valid for the quarterfinals of the German Cup, the Bayern Munchen was surprised by Freiburg at home and was defeated by 2 to 1. With the stumble, the then favorites to lift the tournament trophy were eliminated.
After the match, coach Thomas Tuchel spoke about the negative result. The commander showed frustration and admitted that he told the team to leave the confrontation with a better result.
“Of course it’s a big disappointment. I don’t know if it’s well deserved, but that doesn’t matter in the end either. We were good or even very good in stages, but maybe we lacked the will”, he said. “Now we have to take a deep breath. That will keep us busy for a while, but we have to digest and learn our lessons from it.”

Thomas Muller, captain of the team, also spoke about the drop in the German Cup. The midfielder evaluated that the team didn’t play badly, but it sinned when defining the plays.
“It’s bitter. We were eliminated and we can’t fix it anymore. We know that this year’s cup is over and that hurts our sense of honor because we have big plans. We didn’t play badly and we didn’t give Freiburg a chance to score. But in these last actions, by scoring , when catching the ball last, when passing, there was a lack of precision”, he said.
Even after the elimination, Bayern will face Freiburg again on Saturday, but this time for German Championship. The Bavarians will visit their tormentors at Europa-Park-Stadion, at 10:30 am (Brasília time). The Tuchel club is at the top of the table, with 55 points.
