Bayern Munich were left stunned after they suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Hoffenheim on Sunday afternoon.
Bayern Munich saw their 32-match unbeaten run come to an end against a resolute Hoffenheim side. Against all odds, the underdogs outclassed the reigning champions and claimed a convincing 4-1 win against Hansi Flick’s men.
The Bavarians had not lost since December 2019 and had gone 21 consecutive Bundesliga matches without defeat, winning their last 15.
However, Bayern struggled without star players Lewandowski and Goretzka. It was the first time the Polish forward was left on the bench for Bayern in two years.
The European champions conceded two goals in eight minutes as their usually solid defense collapsed under Hoffenheim’s pressure.
Hoffenheim took the lead just 15 minutes into the game through a stunning set-piece. It was Bicakcic who found space in the very crowded 6-yard box to header home Hoffenheim’s corner.
The German underdogs didn’t stop there as they punished another defensive error from Bayern just moments later.
After just 24 minutes, Hoffenheim secured a two-goal advantage with Munas Dabbur’s superb chip over Manuel Neuer.
Bayern saw hopes of a comeback after Kimmich pulled one back just before the halfway mark.
The Bavarians came out charging in the second half but further saw their misery compounded.
A brace in less than 15 minutes from Andrej Kamaric sealed a resounding victory for the hosts and Bayern were left shell-shocked.
The result comes just three days before Bayern face Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup Final.
