Bayern Shows Big Weaknesses

Borussia Dortmund just beat Bayern Munich in the final of the German Cup.
And they did so in convincing fashion. 5-2. 3-1 at half-time.

Dortmund started strongly, and went ahead after just 3 minutes, through Shinji Kagawa, as the Bayern defense had no idea what hit them.
Bayern was lucky enough to get a penalty, 22 minutes later, because they probably couldn't have scored otherwise, a kick which Robben converted, but Borussia got a PK of their own fifteen minutes after that. This was also converted, despite Neuer's being able to deflect the ball a little.
Right before half-time, Bayern showed another huge lapse in defense, and Lewandowski scored his first goal with a good shot that sneaked in underneath Neuer.

The second half brought two more Lewandowski goals (in minutes 58 and 81), with only one Bayern goal to keep the difference between the two teams within three.
Ribery's goal, in the 76th minute, was very nice, and well-taken, but meaningless. Even though Heynckes' team hoped to reduce the deficit further, after that goal, Lewandowski's last goal on the night set them straight after just 5 minutes.

Bayern clearly is beneath Borussia, as far as playing football is concerned. Three losses in three encounters, against their Dortmund rivals, don't lie.

Maybe Bayern will play much better against Chelsea, in the UEFA Champions League final, next Saturday. But, if Bayern wins the CL, then a great injustice against football would be done. (It would be just like when inter got the trophy, in 2010. There must have been at least 3 other teams more deserving of the win, then, just like now.)

Not that Chelsea is turning heads in the Premier League, mind you, but at least they were not ridiculed in their encounters against the EPL giants (of this season), Man. City and Man. U.
