Sinsheim : FC Bayern Munich faced their first loss since December 2019. The team who just wrecked havoc in every game last season as well the first match of this season, lost 4-1 to Hoffenheim. Their 23 match winning streak finally came to an end.
Bayern were pretty much terrible, the fatigue of the players were one of the major issues that Hansi Flick needs to solve and address at the earliest. Another, issue would be how to deal with teams that press high. Robert Lewandowski’s absence was felt and Boateng was unusually sloppy and slag. The work rate that Leon Goretzka offered was also missed by Bayern in the first half.
