“We all saw it. Especially during the last two-and-a-half years”, he said.

“My team attacked the Bayern goal much more often as compared to the first half”. You can always concede a goal, but after that we lost our discipline.

Bayern’s slip-up provided second-placed Borussia Dortmund with a huge incentive to win their late game at Wolfsburg and they duly did so 2-1 in dramatic style.

It was the first time Bayern had been beaten in the league before the mid-season break since the 2012-13 campaign and the reverse allowed Borussia Dortmund to cut the gap at the top of the table to five points.

A first-half goal by Germany winger Marco Reus was cancelled out by a Ricardo Rodriguez penalty with the 90 minutes up but there was still time for Japan worldwide Kagawa to hit the victor with virtually the last kick of the game.

They have scored a staggering 42 goals so far despite missing several players through injury and have let in just five in 14 matches, three times less than the second-best defensive team that is VfL Wolfsburg.

As for Bayern Munich, just two points dropped from a possible 42 leave the side eight points clear at the top of the league, and well on track to collect yet another Bundesliga title. “We had a bit of luck, but were very fearless and had a lot of self-confidence after going 1-0 up”, said Schubert.

Ribery says he will focus on returning to full fitness and hopes his side can produce an improved performance against Dinamo, who are bottom of the group and have no chance of even booking a Europa League spot.

Although the details of the contract is yet unknown, the report suggest the extension of his deal would see Muller staying at Bayern until 2021, and would become one of the best paid players in the squad.

In other words, interim manager Andre Schubert’s starting XI will little resemble the Favre sides that claimed four points off Bayern last season. Only Pep Guardiola’s Bayern has taken more in the same period – 25.
