0: 5 defeat against Gladbach: After Bavaria’s historic cup disgrace, Kahn flies an old tweet around his ears
After the historic defeat in the second round of the DFB Cup against Borussia Mönchengladbach, not only the Munich players have to endure ridicule and malice, but also Bayern boss Oliver Kahn. The reason for this is an old tweet.
After FC Bayern was knocked out in the second round of the DFB Cup last season (5-6 a.s. against Holstein Kiel), the second round ended again for the record cup winners.
And what a defeat it was, Bayern picked up an embarrassing 0: 5 package at Borussia Mönchengladbach. Rarely, never in the past few weeks and months, have you seen a Bayern team this role.
Every player – with the exception of the abandoned Manuel Neuer – had a “pitch black day”, as ARD expert and ex-player Bastian Schweinsteiger summed it up after the game.
After clapping against Gladbach: ridicule for Bayern
Mockery and malice were not long in coming in view of this performance and the early retirement – especially on social media, football Germany was amused by the gossip for the German record and series champions. Bayern boss Oliver Kahn was not spared either – the reason for this was not a current statement after the game, but rather an old tweet that he posted last May.
Specifically, it was about a congratulatory tweet to Borussia Dortmund, who won 4-1 against RB Leipzig in the cup final on May 13, 2021. “Congratulations to BVB on winning the DFB Cup!” Wrote Kahn at the time. And further: “Enjoy the moment, in the coming season we won’t make it so easy for you again.” Kahn also posted a cheeky wink smiley.
Twitter users laugh at Kahn’s statement: “You won’t fail”
After the bankruptcy in Borussia-Park on Wednesday evening, a number of new comments were quickly found under the old Kahn tweet. “I’m glad that you didn’t make it so easy for us this time … 5 – 0 was certainly not easy …”, says one user ironically, for example.
A BVB fan commented on Kahn’s statement as follows: “Well, you didn’t make it really difficult for us in the cup this time. I don’t know whether we’ll get that, but you won’t fail.” And another user comments factually and soberly: “Aged like a glass of milk in the blazing sun!”
So Bayern are out of the cup again. It remains to be seen whether Kahn will again be carried away with such a tweet on May 21, 2022. Then the cup final will take place in the Berlin Olympic Stadium – certainly without the participation of the record cup winner.

Other Recommendations
FC Bayern is historically beaten in the DFB Cup by Borussia Mönchengladbach. 0: 5. How can the super Bavarians of the past few weeks undermine such a desperate performance? After the embarrassment, three things come to mind to explain what cannot actually be explained.
Joshua Kimmich sets off an avalanche with the statement that he is hesitant with the corona vaccination “due to a lack of long-term studies”. The Bayern star is making a mistake – which he should now admit urgently. A comment.
Extraordinary tension, boundless drama and the striking defeat of the great favorite, the “nonplusultra” Bavaria, against Borussia Mönchengladbach: The second round of the DFB Cup shows that Germany is not yet completely lost.
