Bayern Munich fell 3-0 to Borussia Dortmund on Saturday in what was a meaningless match for the already-crowned German champions.

“The players are no robots, no machines. They also have feelings,” Bayern sporting director Matthias Sammer old ZDF after the Dortmund defeat. “We have lost a match in a competition which is already decided. We tested our physical limits against Manchester United two-and-a-half days ago [in the Champions League].”

Bayern had 72 percent possession of the ball, but rarely made it into Dortmund's final third.

“I can totally understand the performance. We are not happy that we have lost the last two league games. But we should not get carried away. We need to work on those final two, three percent in our day-to-day business,” Sammer said.

“It is a learning process. No one in Germany, maybe not even in the world, has won the league that early. We will continue with our work on Monday, and start our preparation for the DFB-Pokal semifinal against Kaiserslautern. It’s just like a final on Wednesday, and we have to act as the real Bayern Munich again -- but the lads also know that.”
