THE BEAUTY OF CUP FOOTBALL

Over the past 11 years, FC Bayern Munich have been winning the league title on a trot. On a couple of occasions, they did face some resistance, but at the end of the day the Bundesliga Trophy remained in Bavaria. However, the same has not been the case in the knockout cup tournaments. In knock-out cup tournaments they have faced defeats, sometimes even shocking ones.

The latest came a few days ago wherein a Third-Tier team FC Saarbrücken knocked the German Giants out of the DFB- Pokal. It is pertinent to note that the German Heavyweights FC Bayern Munich dominated the game, but the last-minute winner changed the fate of the game. 

The Favorites have been knocked out. The Minnows Move Forward. Furthermore, this has not been the tale only in Germany, but also in other European Countries. Newcastle United knocked out both the Manchester Heavyweights from the Carabao Cup. Apart from that we also seen similar upsets in Copa Del Rey as well wherein Real Madrid too have faced innumerable shocking defeats. No wonder why we call Football the Best Game on this Planet.
