Weekend to forget for the three strongest teams in the Bundesliga. Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen lost their league games in a very atypical day in the championship. The Bochum gave the bell governing a 2-0 to Bayern while the Leverkusen lost at home 0-2 against Werder Bremen. In turn, the Augsburg beat Signal Iduna Park against Borussia Dortmund. All these defeats have broken with a very surprising statistic: the three teams did not lose the same weekend since day 20 … In the 2006/2007 season!.
If we go back 18 years, specifically in the first weekend of February 2007, we see how the three teams lost on the same day. Borussia Dortmund succumbed to Stuttgart at home 0-1. In that meeting, held on February 4, a young Mario Gómez militated at Stuttgart and was the one who gave his team victory with a goal in 59 ‘. The ‘Die Schwaben’ were the Bundesliga champions that season.
The Bayern lost to the Nuremberg for a forceful 3-0. The Bavarian had just changed coach. Felix Magath, who was from 2004 to the end of January 2007, was ceased his position for the bad results. His replacement was Ottmar Hitzfeld, who barely lasted a year and a half. That season was fateful for Bayern in Bundesliga, as it was outside the Champions League posts (room with 60 points). That campaign only lifted the League Cup.
The third in discord, the Leverkusen, was not able to win that day either. The Wolfsburg defeated the ‘Die Werkself’ 3-2 in a campaign where the Leverkusen finished fifth, behind Bayern with 51 points and classified for the UEFA Cup, which at that time was how it was known to what is now the Europa League.
Bochum, Werder Bremen and Augsburg were the executioners
Bayern received Bochum in the Allianz in a meeting that, a priori, was not difficult for Kompany. The muniques achieved an advantage of two goals in half an hour but Palhinha’s expulsion changed the course of the game. The Bochum went around the scoreboard and ended up winning 2-3 in a historic comeback. 34 years have passed since they won in Munich.
In the Signal Iduna Park, the Augsburg surprised (0-1) against a Dortmund far from resembling that Champions Finalist team last season. The Germans are tenth in the table seven points from the fourth position of Champions. For its part, the Leverkusen did not know how to take advantage of Bayern’s prick and suffered a defeat against Werder Bremen at home.
A fact that also surprises is the fact that the three German teams lost their games playing as premises. Historical day in the Bundesliga and a weekend to forget for Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen, who had not lost all three on the same day.
