Bayern Munich Stutters in Champions League

Bayern Munich faces Champions League setback



Flying in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich is stuttering in the Champions League.

The Bavarian powerhouse lost 3-0 at Feyenoord on Wednesday for its third defeat of the campaign, denting its hopes of reaching the round of 16 without having to contest a playoff.

Bayern reserve goalkeeper Sven Ulreich was shown a red card for complaining at the end of a game in which his team missed its opportunities at one end while leaving itself susceptible to attacks at the other.

Bayern’s players resorted to fouls but ultimately failed to stop Antoni Milambo from sending Ueda through to score. Leon Goretzka was subsequently booked for the foul and Harry Kane was booked for complaining in his 50th Champions League appearance.

“We have to be honest. I think Feyenoord deserved it, that’s my opinion. Not because we didn’t run. We ran. We fought,” Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said.

“As people say, the table doesn’t lie,” Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich said. “We have to admit we’re not a top team at the moment. A top team cannot lose this game here. We’re still missing a little something.”
