Germany: the "greats" were defeated in the ECL week (video)

Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen have all lost in the same round of the Bundesliga. The last time this happened was in the 20th round of the 2006/07 season. But this time there is another feature - all three teams lost at home. 18 years ago, two teams lost away. All three teams sacrificed the round between the matches of the Champions League 1/8 finals and fielded a mixed squad.

"Bavaria" - "Bohum" 2:3
Goals: Guerreira, 14, 28 – Medic, 31, Sissoko, 51, Bero, 71.
Bavaria: Urbig, Boi (Olise, 63), Dier, Ito (Kimmih, 76), Stanisic, Palinha, Guerreiro, Sane (Laimer, 63), Goretzka, Gnabri (Musiala, 63), Muller (Kane, 62).
"Bohum": Horn, Erman, Medic, Bernardo, Passlak (Gamboa, 82), Sissoko, Wittek (Mashovich, 88), Bero (Losila, 87), Krauss, Hofmann, Masuras (Broshinskie, 73).
Release: Palinha, 43.

The number one sensation was undoubtedly Bayern's defeat. Yes, Vincent Kompany fielded a far from optimal lineup, but the result was also affected by the fact that the Munich team played the entire second half with one man less, with Joao Palinha being sent off early on the break. But, firstly, the game was in Munich, and the opponent was an outsider, located close to the danger zone. Secondly, Bayern were leading 2-0 thanks to quick goals, and Gnabry missed a penalty between two goals from Rafael Guerreiro. In the Champions League match, Neuer was injured, and 21-year-old Urbig, who was guarding the goal, conceded three goals.

"Bayer" - "Werder" 0:2
Goals: Schmid, 7, Njinma, 90+4.
Bayer: Gradetsky, Ta (Mukiele, 46), Hermoso, Arthur (Frimpong, 65), Garcia, Xhaka (Palacios, 46), Tella, Adly, Buendia (Virts, 46), Shik.
"Werder": Tsetterer, Piper, Velkovic, Jung, Weiser, Linen (Bittenkurt, 78), Agu, Stage, Schmid (Topp, 90), Bürke (Njinma, 69), Silva (Grül, 78).

Borussia Dortmund – Augsburg 0:1
Goal: Gauleu, 23.
Borussia Dortmund: Kobel, Coutu (Rerson, 63), Jean, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini (Bayer, 63), Ozcan, Gross (Sabitzer, 75), Adeyemi (Anton, 90), Brandt, Bayno-Gittens, Girassi.
Augsburg: Damen, Matsima, Gauleu, Cesiger, Wolf (Banks, 82), Rezbecaj (Jakic, 58), Oneka, Giannulis, Jensen (Komur, 74), Claude-Maurice (Mayer, 74), Tietze (Essende, 5).

Bayer, who lost 0:3 in Munich in midweek and lost all hope of advancing to the next round of the Champions League, also surprised. The reigning champions lost for the first time since August in Leverkusen (where they lost 2-3 to Leipzig). Borussia Dortmund's defeat at Augsburg is not surprising given Dortmund's inconsistent form. The current goal for Niko Kovac's team is to climb from tenth place to the places that qualify for the European Cups. Having performed well in the Champions League in recent seasons, the team can only play in the second-tier European Cups next season. Third place is occupied by Mainz, who won at Monchengladbach (3-1) this round and collected 44 points in the Bundesliga for the first time in their history. And this result was achieved with nine rounds remaining.
