'It's possible games won't run smoothly' - Nagelsmann admits Bayern Munich problems remain after Gladbach friendly loss

The Bundesliga champions were beaten 2-0 at home by domestic rivals and their new manager says he is still ironing out several issues

Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann admits the club could have a slow start to the 2021-22 league campaign after they suffered another pre-season friendly defeat, this time at home to Borussia Monchengladbach.

The Bundesliga champions were defeated 2-0 by their domestic rivals to continue their underwhelming start to life under new manager Nagelsmann, who succeeded Hansi Flick at the end of the last campaign.

Nagelsmann admits turbulent recent months - with several players having been involved in international tournaments, plus the continuing fallout from the coronavirus pandemic - means things will not instantly fall into place once the Bundesliga season starts in two weeks.
