Champions Bayern Munich suffered a 3-2 defeat against VfL Bochum on Sunday, marking their third consecutive loss across all competitions and widening the gap to eight points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Despite taking a 13th-minute lead through Jamal Musiala's precise strike from a tight angle, the Bavarians faced setbacks, including Dayot Upamecano's second consecutive red card following his expulsion in Wednesday's Champions League loss to Lazio.
