In a surprising turn of events, the seemingly invincible Bayern Munich suffered a 3-2 defeat on their home turf against Manchester City in the Champions League, as reported by Africa Top Sports.com.
Despite Bayern taking an early 2-0 lead within the first 12 minutes, the match witnessed a remarkable reversal of fortunes.
Franck Ribéry, expressing his bewilderment, stated, “I don’t know what happened; we started the match well. We quickly led the score. We may have taken this Manchester City team lightly. We lacked concentration, in the end it was a slackening and we lost this match. First place is still important. For the rest, from the moment we pass the group stage, we know that all the teams are difficult. We have three matches left with Bayern; We’ll be happy to be on vacation.”
Ribéry’s reaction reflects the team’s frustration at the unexpected outcome and emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus and not underestimating opponents, even with an early lead. Despite the loss, securing the first-place spot remains a priority for Bayern as they navigate through the remaining matches in the group stage.
