Bayern only have themselves to blame

It was hard to top Jurgen Klopp's announcement that he would leave Dortmund in the summer, HSV appointing Bruno Labbadia, and then involuntary giving away the fact that BVB-bound Thomas Tuchel turned them down on Wednesday. But, somehow, Bayern Munich managed to do just that later that night. Going down 3-1 at FC Porto in the Champions League -- opponents that Philipp Lahm had described as "not the most awkward after the draw" -- was not in the script.

Every defeat for the Bavarians is a big story, but it was the manner in which Pep Guardiola's men failed at the Dragao that was most shocking to themselves and their compatriots.
