Shell-shocked Bayern Munich suffered their heaviest defeat in the German Cup on Wednesday when their star-studded team was thrashed 0-5 at Borussia Moenchengladbach.


“I’m shocked. We simply didn’t turn up,” Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic told ARD. “We let ourselves be outplayed in every situation—a collective blackout.”
 
Full-strength Bayern conceded the first goal after just 71 seconds and were 3-0 down with 21 minutes played as Gladbach made a lightning start. It was the first time for 27 years Bayern have conceded so many goals so early in any competition. “From time to time, you dream of something like this, but you don’t believe it will become reality,” Gladbach sports director Max Eberl said. “That was an awesome performance.” 


French midfielder Kouadio Kone grabbed his first goal for Gladbach, then Algerian defender Ramy Bensebaini and striker Breel Embolo both scored twice. “5-0 against Bayern doesn’t come along very often, so we will enjoy this tonight,” said Embolo.
