For the first time since 2015, Bayern Munich lost three straight games falling eight points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the fight for the Bundesliga championship.
Bayern Munich slumped to a shock 3-2 loss at lowly Bochum on Sunday. The result followed a 3-0 league defeat to Leverkusen last weekend and a 1-0 loss against Lazio in the Champions League.
After the game, Tuchel expressed confidence, saying, "the loss today wasn't justified. We were extremely unlucky."
Stoeger said: "It's an enormous relief. We thought we could get a point and we got three."
"I think all of Bochum is proud of the performance we delivered."
Bochum coach Thomas Letsch added: "To win against Bayern is especially nice, given they're a team stacked with talent."
