LEIPZIG, Germany (AP) - The top two teams in the Bundesliga are out of the German Cup after Eintracht Frankfurt followed Bayern Munich with an early exit on Wednesday.
Eintracht Frankfurt failed to keep up the momentum in their German Cup campaign, suffering a disappointing 3-0 loss at the hands of their host team RB Leipzig.
This latest turn of events comes as an astonishing surprise to football fans around the world, as these two teams have been dominating the Bundesliga scene. However, it seems like the pressure to perform in multiple tournaments at once may have finally taken its toll.
Both Frankfurt and Bayern have tasted recent success in the Bundesliga, but the ongoing competition in the German Cup only underscores the unpredictable nature of this sport. Bundesliga clubs' continued struggles to balance success in multiple competitions raise critical questions about team management and player endurance.
Bundesliga fans can't help but wonder if this devastating loss would negatively impact Frankfurt's future performances in other tournaments.
