Thomas Mueller admits Bayern Munich's first home Bundesliga defeat for two years was a wake-up call after the Bavarian giants had won their nine previous games this season. "We are of course disappointed. Or angry, annoyed, I don't know which best describes it," said Mueller in the wake of Sunday's 2-1 shock home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. "This is a game that we definitely didn't have to lose."
Bayern and their new head coach Julian Nagelsmann suffered his first defeat in any competition this season as Filip Kostic hit a low shot past Manuel Neuer from a tight angle seven minutes from time. It was Bayern's first home league defeat since November 2019 and Frankfurt's first win in Munich for 20 years. "Defeat always hurts," Nagelsmann admitted. "On one hand, because it was the first, and on the other, because it was totally avoidable."
Bayern had 20 shots on goal to the visitor's five and had 73 percent possession, but paid the price for not making their domination count. "When we go 2-1 up, it can also end up being a 3-1 or 4-1 result, then we hear Super Bayern being sung, but that [performance] had nothing to do with Super Bayern," admitted Mueller. "It's an unfamiliar situation, an unfamiliar feeling." Despite the home defeat, Bayern stay top of the Bundesliga, but level with Bayer Leverkusen, who also have 16 points.
