Triple Upset Rocks the Bundesliga for the First Time in 18 Years
For the first time since 2006/07, all three German giants—Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, and Borussia Dortmund—have simultaneously suffered defeat in the same round of the Bundesliga. Their losses in Matchday 25 mark a rare low point for these perennial contenders.
Bayern Munich fell 2–3 at home to VfL Bochum at the Allianz Arena, despite initially taking a 2–0 lead. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen endured a 0–2 setback on their own turf against Werder Bremen, and Borussia Dortmund slipped to a narrow 0–1 defeat to FC Augsburg.
The last time all three of these German powerhouses lost on the same matchday dates back 18 years to the 20th round of the 2006/07 season. Their collective stumble underscores how competitive this year’s Bundesliga has become, offering a glimmer of opportunity to the rest of the league.
