Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich slump to 4-2 defeat at Bochum

By Aman Shukla

Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich said his side needs to question their mindset after they slumped to a shock 4-2 defeat at Bundesliga minnows Bochum ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Red Bull Salzburg. Bayern conceded 4 goals in the first half for the first time in a Bundesliga match starting around 1975 as promoted side Bochum rampaged to a stunning victory, leaving the champions stunned. “This was our worst performance of the season. We need to ask ourselves whether this is the mentality which Bayern Munich embodies,” a dejected Kimmich told Sky.

“Luckily it’s happened in a Bundesliga match this time, but we have a Champions League game on Wednesday,” he added

Bayern had not lost to Bochum starting around 2004 ahead of this match, and beat them 7-0 when the two teams last met in September.
