Bayern quake: 1:4 in Barcelona - Where is the self-criticism?

Bayern quake: 1:4 in Barcelona - Where is the self-criticism?

A shocking evening for FC Bayern! With a crushing 4-1 defeat against Barcelona, ​​the team goes into the history books - and not in the glorious way everyone wanted. This result deeply affected not only the players but also those responsible. Was that a warning that Bayern are not recognizing the signs of the times?

The Munich team have despaired in the last five games, of which only one was won. For a club with such high standards on Säbener Straße, this is insufficient. While the sports directors, especially Max Eberl, passionately support the current direction under coach Vincent Kompany, it is high time for a critical assessment. Joshua Kimmich, who calmed the emotional waves after the game, is ready for the low blows, but this complacency needs to be reconsidered!

A lesson that hurts

The bitter fact is that Bayern suffered a momentary lesson in Barcelona. They weren't the better team that evening, but were too easy to dominate and made serious mistakes. The heavy defeat is absolutely fine and could set the team back significantly in the entire competition: Bayern is currently in a disappointing 23rd place. The danger of having to serve detention in the playoff round for the round of 16 is real!

Now things are getting serious! The anticipation of the Champions League final in their own Allianz Arena on May 31, 2025 could degenerate into a shadowy existence if Bayern don't wake up quickly. The time is ripe for serious changes, because sugarcoating is an absolute no-go for a record champion like Bayern!
