Hoffenheim stop Bayern

– Runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich had their 20-match unbeaten run in all competitions ended at Hoffenheim on Tuesday as Andrej Kramaric’s (above) winner sealed the hosts’ historic 1-0 victory.

Bayern’s run came to an end a week before their mouth-watering Champions League home leg quarterfinal against Real Madrid.

This was Bayern’s first loss since going down 3-2 at Russia’s Rostov in a Champions League group game last November.

It was also only their second defeat in 27 league games, having also stumbled at Borussia Dortmund, but they still hold a 13-point lead.

“Of course, we shouldn’t have allowed that to happen,” fumed captain-for-the-night Arjen Robben.

“It was better in the second half, but the ball wouldn’t go in.

“Our lead (in the table) is still big, but that was an unnecessary defeat.”

This was Hoffenheim’s first win over Bayern at the 18th attempt.

Having earned a 1-1 draw in Munich last November, this is another feather in the cap for Hoffenheim’s 29-year-old coach Julian Nagelsmann.

“It always sounds good to beat Bayern, we went close in the first match, it was a good bit of work for us,” said Nagelsmann, Germany’s Coach-of-the-Year for 2016.

“Kramaric had a great game, he scored with the worst chance in the first half for us.

“I said we had to be brave, which we had, but we also played the better football.”

With a busy run of fixtures to come, Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti rotated his squad, but still started with 10 internationals.
