Bayern Munich shaken to the core by Borussia Dortmund humiliation | Raphael Honigstein

Does the 5-2 defeat of Bayern in the German Cup final affect their chances of success in the Champions League, or was it just a trick?

5-2. Five-two. Five-two. No matter how many times these two numbers resounded in the minds of millions of people, simply makes no sense. After two hard fought wins 1-0 to champions Borussia Dortmund, everybody was expecting another close game - and especially a reaction from Bayern Munich. But rather than assert their claim to the throne, Bayern were humiliated in front of 75,000 spectators at Olympic Stadium in Berlin. For the Reds, the greatest defeat in the final each time. For black and yellow, the first double in his 103-year history. On both sides, almost too much to bear.

"It's like something from another planet," said goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller of Borussia, who was nursing a painful rib injury after his arrival with Mario Gomez and could barely hold the cup after the beep end. "One ... two," he stammered hoarse Dortmund Jürgen Klopp. "This is the most amazing thing that ever happened to me." It was "speechless", the journalists said 44 years. "The results speak for themselves."

But it was not, at least not in a familiar language. Both figures and talking loudly in the ears of fans of Bayern embarrassed, but had no idea what they meant.

As usual with severe trauma, a defense mechanism involved, the followers of Bavaria tried to convince her that what does not look real could not be real, or at least, 't was not the whole story. Is a ploy developed perhaps? Jupp Heynckes was simply repeating the old trick famous East German coach Sepp Herberger of World Cup 1954? has played a weakened side against Hungary in the group stage and lost 3-8, only for a full strength team to beat the same opponents 3-2 in the final. Herberger had attracted the Magyars as imaginary in a false sense of security, the story is not-totally-going as possible.

In theory, a similar theory appear in greater credibility if Bayern get back to beat Chelsea in the final of the Champions League in Munich on Saturday. However, some felt it might be better if it is not in their "last home" at all. "This is a very important game in terms of confidence," said Heynckes before. "It's not easy to get this out of our heads, but we need," said Bastian Schweinsteiger fired one after.

However, there was good news and bad news from the perspective of Bayern. The good: Luiz Gustavo was suspended against Chelsea. Brazilian midfielder has been frozen brain double to give the ball twice and let Shinji Kagawa to mark the first game within 159 seconds. In the stands, Sir Alex Ferguson and Mike Phelan watched with great enthusiasm. Their declared goal of transfer, said he knew nothing about his future, and reports that the Japanese midfielder had taken a flight to Manchester that night was inaccurate. The truth is that Ferguson could have analyzed a number of exciting players of Dortmund, that everything would improve his side immediately. The center back Neven Subotic and Mats Hummels were still colossal, as the right side Polish Lukasz Piszczek, who has become a destination in Madrid.

Luiz Gustavo, however, refused to pick up all the riders, or engage in any position recognizable. He was at fault again for the third goal of Dortmund, another low blow that offers classic telepathic Kagawa and Robert Lewandowski. The rapid advance of Poland came to score a hat-trick with two more goals in the second half.

• Bayern had really come back pretty well after his early failure. Arjen Robben has just sent an expert - Weidenfeller toppled Gomez and had to be replaced later - and men Heynckes children played well enough to Philipp Lahm to claim that Bayern had been "the best team in the first half. "They created chances and had fun, but every time I had the ball in Dortmund, the Bavarians were in a state of panic.

What

clearly leads to the bad news: Jerome Boateng, will not be suspended against Chelsea. The former Manchester City defense had one of those games where it seems half awake, as I just ran on the track after a 16-hour flight in economy. Four minutes before the break, that Kuba Blaszczykowski needlessly demolished, to be nowhere in the corner of the box. As challenges go brainless, was there with John Terry's knee in his back Brave Alexis Sanchez.

Hummels, former Bayern man

who had fought tooth and nail to thwart their attempts to bring back

Säbener Strasser , sent to the penalty past Manuel Neuer . In an afternoon better, the goalkeeper of Bayern would have saved the shot. In less horrible, devastating the night, I would not have mounted fifth goal of Dortmund by dropping a ball tame.

"They took a chance and scored three goals," Heynckes complains with some justification. "Our defensive behavior has been catastrophic. If we're focused from the beginning, you do not deserve to win. Only have ourselves to blame. "
