Bayern Munich’s stars have been torn apart by the German press after being beaten by Barcelona in the Champions League.

The German giants went down 4-1 on Wednesday night after Brazilian winger Raphinha scored a stunning hat-trick to leave Bayern with just three points in three games in the league.

Bayern’s heavy defeat comes after they also lost to Aston Villa last month, although they remain top of the Bundesliga.

And, German newspaper Bild were ruthless in their assessment of Vincent Kompany’s men, with three players receiving a six, the worst possible score.

Elsewhere, six stars received a five, while the top-rated player received just a three.

Raphael Guerreiro, Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae were the three stars most criticized with a five, as Bild described Guerreiro as having a “very weak day.”

Min-jae continues to compete for Bayern and he was labeled as ‘not well at all’, while he also ‘seemed completely shaky’.

Elsewhere, Upacmecano’s problems at the back compounded Bayern’s problems, with Bild insisting the Frenchman’s performances mean the German giants ‘have to worry about this defence’.

Several other stars were also heavily criticized by Bild, including Alphonso Davies, with the Canadian branded ‘defensively mediocre’.

Michael Olise’s dip in form was recognized by the newspaper, which said: ‘He was the high-flyer at the start of the season, but is currently struggling.’

Elsewhere, Serge Gnabry was mocked by Bild. “(He) probably still dreams at night about Lamine Yamal,” it said, “which repeatedly seeped into his legs and even tunneled him.”

‘Strong cross for 1-1, but otherwise virtually nothing.’

Leon Goretzka was the highest rated player for Bayern, although he still only scored a three.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane escaped with a four, alongside the likes of Manuel Neuer, Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane.

The defeat put pressure on Bayern boss Kompany and the Belgian was polled by Bild, who gave him a rating of five.

“Is his urgent, full-throttle football too risky for the Champions League?” it read.

‘Second defeat in three games, that is a concern for the intended ‘Finale Dahoam’ (Champions League final in the Allianz Arena) in 2025.

‘It is becoming increasingly clear: top teams can counter Bayern’s extremely high defense too easily. A plan B is needed.’

Bayern are back in action on Sunday when they take on Mainz, with next month’s Champions League match against Benfica becoming increasingly important.
