Whole Bayern Munich team under pressure to improve defence and results, says manager Flick

Hansi Flick wants every member of his Bayern Munich team to work on turning their defensive struggles around as they prepare for a Bundesliga clash with in-form Freiburg.

Bayern saw their hopes of a second successive treble ended on Wednesday after they suffered a shock DFB-Pokal exit at the hands of 2. Bundesliga promotion challengers Holstein Kiel.

They conceded a 95th-minute equaliser to make it 2-2 at the end of normal time, with the second-tier side going on to prevail 6-5 on penalties.
