That crazy, crazy Bundesliga! Bayern, Bayer and BVB get battered at home by underdogs

You can’t say it’s the best league in the world, nor can it show off for having the best players on the globe, but one thing’s for sure – Bundesliga is the craziest league among those Big 5 European leagues.You don’t believe us? Then, check out today’s games and their outcomes – Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund lost at home to minnows!3 – FC Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer 04 Leverkusen have all lost on the same Bundesliga matchday for the first time since MD20 in 2006-07. Surprising.— OptaFranz (@OptaFranz) March 8, 2025 Bochum probably pulled off the biggest upset of the day by defeating the Bavarians at Allianz Arena 3-2 after coming from two goals down and, additionally, a penalty conceded in the first half. That was their first triumph in Munich against Bayern ever since August 1991!And no one in the world could imagine such an outcome after Guerreiro scored a first-half brace to put his side 2-0 up. Moreover, Serge Gnabry missed a penalty between those two Guerreiro’s goals, and the former even scored one goal from an open play, but it was disallowed as he was a foot offside at the start of that move.⚠️ | QUICK STAT• Only the second home defeat for Bayer Leverkusen since May 2023• Third home defeat for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga this season• Only the second home defeat for Bayern since March 2024It seems #UCL football had quite an impact on German sides! 😳 pic.twitter.com/cZTYwyXb9F— Sofascore Football (@SofascoreINT) March 8, 2025 Bochum managed to peg one back through Medic shortly after, but the game’s crucial moment, which changed its momentum, happened a few minutes before the break as Munich’s Pahlinha was sent off for a reckless tackle.Ten-man Bayern – without its top stars like Kane, Olise and Musiala, who were left on the bench – lost composure and succumbed to a dreadful breakdown in the second half.That is never a red card, he can’t teleport his leg and calculate the bochum player being late. pic.twitter.com/PMrvmEOaxv— Ardi 🇦🇱 (@ADFcb_) March 8, 2025 Sissoko stunned the hosts five minutes after the interval to level the score, while Bero sealed his side’s impressive comeback by scoring the 71st-minute winner. Interestingly, the visitors scored all of their goals in the 31st, 51st, and 71st minutes.Bayern’s coach, Vincent Kompany went all in too late, making four subs at the same moment, as Kane, Olise, Musiala and Laimer came on for the league leaders. Alas, they couldn’t change their team’s horror Saturday.Oops, we did it again! 🙃😍WE HAVE WON IN MUNICH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 34 YEARS!!!!2-3 #meinVfL #FCBBOC pic.twitter.com/2OB3hM18C4— VfL Bochum 1848 (@VfLBochum1848EN) March 8, 2025 Thankfully for the table-toppers, their eight-point lead won’t suffer after such a shocking loss because the defending champions, Bayer Leverkusen, lost at home to Werder Bremen 2-0.The underdogs have put an end to their five-game-long losing streak by battering Xabi Alonso’s team for another major upset of the day.Schmid opened the scoring early on, converting from close range to give the visitors the lead. Veljkovic put the visiting side 2-0 up before the break, but it was voided due to offside.##NAJAVA_MECA_8763448##Granit Xhaka’s lot struggled to create anything in the attack, as the Spanish boss decided to leave his playmaker Florian Wirtz on the bench and, hopefully, rest him a bit. He changed his mind during the half-time interval, but Wirtz spent not more than five minutes on the pitch as he was severely injured following one nasty tackle.Njinmah added another one for the brave minnows in the stoppage time, shattering Leverkusen’s hopes of returning to the title race.Bayern 🤝 Dortmund🤝 Leverkusen Losing at home in the Bundesliga today 🫠 pic.twitter.com/jm05HLJgou— B/R Football (@brfootball) March 8, 2025 Finally, Borussia Dortmund added their name to the list of fallen giants this Saturday, being put to the sword by Augsburg at packed Signal Iduna Park.Failing to capitalize on their pressure, Dortmund were punished in the 23rd minute. Marius Wolf delivered a precise cross, and Jeffrey Gouweleeuw struck the ball with a powerful header from the edge of the penalty area. The ball found its way into the left side of the net, leaving Gregor Kobel helpless.The hosts immediately pushed for an equalizer, but breaking through the opposition’s defence was no easy task. In the 43rd minute, Julian Brandt squandered a golden opportunity. He controlled the ball beautifully on the edge of the box and struck from a promising position, only for his shot to sail far wide of the left post.Borussia Dortmund have had some big domestic results go against them this season 😬 📉 pic.twitter.com/zzU53ne48Q— OneFootball (@OneFootball) March 8, 2025 Brandt netted in the second half after a well-placed header assist from Nico Schlotterbeck. However, after a VAR review, an offside was detected, and the goal was disallowed.Augsburg held onto that one-goal lead and got toe-to-toe with BVB in tenth position.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 25FridayM’ gladbach – Mainz 1-3 (0-1)/Lainer 73 – Nebel 39, Kohr 49, Amiri 77/SaturdayBayern Munich – Bochum 2-3 (2-1)/Guerreiro 14, 28 – Medic 31, Sissoko 51, Bero 71/Dortmund – Augsburg 0-1 (0-1)/Gouweleeuw 23/Holstein Kiel – Stuttgart 2-2 (1-1)/Skrzybski 30, 46 – Leweling 15, Demirovic 55/Leverkusen – Werder 0-2 (0-1)/Schmid 7, Njinmah 90+4/Wolfsburg – St. Pauli 1-1 (0-1)/Amoura 70 pen – Van der Heyden 38/20:30: (2.60) Freiburg (3.35) RB Leipzig (2.70)Sunday17:30: (1.68) Eintr.Frankfurt (4.00) Union Berlin (4.85)19:30: (1.80) Hoffenheim (3.95) Heidenheim (4.50)***odds are subject to change***
