Bayern Munich’s hopes of winning 3 trophies in one season were ended on Tuesday after losing 2-0 to Borussia Dortmund on penalties as their German Cup semifinal finished 1-1 after extra-time.

Having been crowned German league champions on Sunday, Bayern missed all four of their spot-kicks to put Dortmund in the German Cup final on May 30.

Bayern – who did win the treble of European, Cup and Bundesliga titles in 2013 – can still win the Champions League and face Barcelona next Wednesday in the semifinal, first-leg.

“We could have decided it over 90 minutes and also in extra-time. It’s a bitter defeat.”
