Thomas Tuchel took responsibility for Bayern Munich’s DFB-Pokal quarter-final exit after a late 2-1 loss to Freiburg.

After Dayot Upamecano’s header was cancelled out by Nicolas Hofler, the Bundesliga leaders appeared to be heading to extra time at Allianz Arena.

However, Jamal Muisala’s penalty conceded deep into second-half stoppage time allowed Lucas Holer to seal the visitors’ last-gasp victory from the spot.

Tuchel admitted responsibility for their defeat in only his second game in charge since replacing Julian Nagelsmann.

“I am not really angry,” he said. “We conceded two goals with two shots.

“I can’t remember another chance from Freiburg.

“The last pass, [and the] precision obviously, are all an issue.

“But still, we had good moments we could have used, but [we] just could not keep it up.

“In the end, it is our fault. We are very disappointed [to lose] a quarter-final at home. Of course, I am responsible.”

Tuchel began his Bayern Munich tenure with a 4-2 victory over old club Borussia Dortmund, where he previously won the DFB-Pokal.

His failure to follow it up with a run to the semi-finals of Germany’s major knockout competition will dim his early impression.

Bayern can exact immediate retaliation when they travel to Freiburg for a rematch in the Bundesliga on Saturday, looking to maintain their lead.

They are also still in contention for the Champions League and will return to European action against Manchester City next Tuesday.
