Bayern Munich Lost 1-0 at Home Via A Fantastic Backheel
By Mike Cardillo
A miserable week of soccer for German giant Bayern Munich got even worse on Saturday when the Bundesliga champions lost at home 1-0 to FC Augsburg. The visitors scored the games lone goal in style, with Raúl Bobadilla beating Manuel Neuer from close range with a delightful back heel.
Tuesday Bayern welcomes Barcelona to the Allianz Arena for the second leg of their Champions League semifinal. Barça took the first leg 3-0, thanks in no small part to Lionel Messi embarrassing Jerome Boateng with a goal that sparked thousands of Internet memes.
It stands to reason Bobadilla’s goal, although great, will not go nearly as viral.
This is the fourth straight loss for Bayern, the first streak of such length for the club since 2009. Rumors will continue to grow linking manager Pep Guardiola to the Manchester City job in the coming weeks.
