Upamecano received 2 red cards in 4 days

Only having to meet the weak team Bochum on the evening of February 18, Bayern Munich unexpectedly lost 2-3, thereby leaving Bayer Leverkusen 8 points behind in the championship race. Upamecano still became the focus of criticism when he received a red card for the second time in just 4 days.

Harry Kane was called a "disaster" in Bayern's loss to Bayer Leverkusen

Upamecano was not assigned by coach Tuchel to start in the match against Bochum. After the red card in the match against Lazio on February 15 in the Champions League caused Bayern Munich to lose 0-1, the French midfielder had to make way for Matthijs de Ligt. In addition to Upamecano, the "Gray Tigers" also made a notable change in attack when Choupo Moting started, replacing Leroy Sane.

The changes help Bayern Munich show a positive face against Bochum. The German champions soon took the lead in the 14th minute after Jamal Musiala's goal. What's more surprising is that this was Bayern Munich's first goal after two poor matches.

However, since Noussair Mazraoui was injured in the 33rd minute and Upamecano replaced him, the situation completely changed. Bayern Munich played without cohesion and lost 3 consecutive goals. In the 78th minute, Upamecano also fouled the opposing striker in the penalty area and received a red card in the disappointment of his teammates. The French midfielder was also stunned when he "took an early shower" for the second time in just 4 days.

Although Harry Kane scored the goal in the 87th minute, the "Gray Tigers" still lost the final 2-3. This is Bayern Munich's third consecutive loss in just 10 days. On the Bundesliga rankings, Bayern Munich is also 8 points behind the top team, Bayer Leverkusen.

Disappointed by his students' performance, coach Tuchel skipped the post-match press conference. However, German channel Sky Sports said the former Chelsea coach still guaranteed his future for at least another week.

Bayern Munich CEO Jan Christian Dreesen was disappointed: "I feel bad that the team received their third consecutive loss. Today, the team's mentality has completely gone down. But of course coach Tuchel will still direct the match against RB Leipzig next week."
