After beating Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Sunday with 5-3, Bayern has managed to beat the same opponent, on the same place with 6-3 in the German Cup, the DFB Pokal.
Both were thrilling games, especially this one from the Cup. Bayern has managed to score twice in the first 10 minutes through Ottl and Gomez. Then they made the same mistakes as so many times this season and Stuttgart came back with two goals from Pogrebnyak till the half time.
After the break, Klose speculated a major Stuttgart defense slip up and scored the third goal for Bayern, making it 3-2.
In the 67th minute something rare happened. Boulahrouz fouled Schweinsteiger and was given the second yellow card and sent off. Schweinsteiger tried to convince the referee not to send off his opponent, but the referee hasn't changed his decision.
Stuttgart has came back, Delpierre scoring with a deflected header the 3-3. After that Bayern has scored two times through Muller and Klose, before Delpierre being sent off.
In the 94th minute, another rare thing happened, Ribery has scored with header, making the score look like a tennis match, 6-3 for Bayern in Stuttgart.
Has anyone seen the game? What do you think about this result? And what about Schweinsteiger's gesture, to ask the referee not to send off an opponent?

Also, we can discuss about Bayern's defence. Why are there so many goals conceded by Bayern? Is it because Van Gaal's philosophy? As long as "we can score more, we will win"

No, this is not van Gaal's philosophy, but the problem is that the Bayern defenders are weak. Breno is too lazy, Tymoschuk is a defensive midfielder and he doesn't play so well as a central defender. Demichelis and van Buyten are out of form, and Badstuber is recovering from an injury. I hope that Bayern will bring a good central defender this winter transfer window.

do you know which player that is currenly searched by Bayern? And, if you were the coach, which player do you like to bring to Bayern as the central defender?

Yes, I know that Bayern is searching for Baines from Everton and Dominguez from Atletico. And it is also rumored that Hummels will return from Dortmund. And I also heard that they want to bring Edin Dzeko from Wolfsburg.
If I could decide, I would bring Hummels back and buy Dzeko as well. I like Hummels a lot, he has become a great central defender, I don't know how did Bayern do such a terrible mistake and let him go for only 4 million Euros.

Any high scoring games will definitely be a bonus for the fans. In fact, there are a few this week. As for Bayern's result, it is definitely a good one for them since they have been rather sluggish in the domestic front. As for Schweinsteiger, his action is greatly appreciated. Unlike some who always wave the imaginery card at the slightest of foul.

Can you compare Schweinsteiger's behavior to Cristiano Ronaldo? Ronaldo is a crybaby, who dives and simulates just to get an advantage. And Schweinsteiger has asked the referee not to send his opponent off, who has made many hard tackles during the game, although the result was a close one and was a knock out game.
I am a Bayern fan and I am glad that I have had the chance to meet Bastian Schweinsteiger in person. Now I know that I have met a real football player, not a mercenary.

I don't see the match but I am happy with the result. Maybe we can discuss about Schwinsteger's gesture? It is very rare in football. Has you seen the replay? The incident that occured between Bouhlarouz and Schwhisteger? Sorry, this Schwinsteger is very difficult to write....

I have seen the whole game. And I was amazed that Schweinsteiger implored the referee not to send off Boulahrouz. Even the commentator was astonished, saying that he thought that it is practically impossible in a professional football that a player to ask the referee not to send off his opponent. But Boulahrouz made several harsh fouls during the game, so I think that is why the referee sent him off.
