Bayern Munich’s stars trudge off after their shock German Cup defeat.
BERLIN: Bayern Munich head coach Hansi Flick was “shocked” as the holders crashed out of the German Cup on Wednesday after defeat at second division Holstein Kiel, who won a nail-biting penalty shoot-out 6-5 as the second round tie finished 2-2 after extra-time.
“It’s a shock. We are enormously disappointed,” Flick told Sky.
“It’s all the more annoying that we conceded an equaliser which made it 2-2 in the last second (of normal time). Congratulations to Kiel.
“We have to put it behind us and do things better.”
Bayern forward Thomas Mueller said the defeat was “brutal”.
This is the first time Bayern have been knocked out of the cup by a non-Bundesliga club since losing to then fourth-tier Magdeburg in 2000/01.
