They are also leading the regular league this season (22 points). However, it fell to 12th place Monchengladbach without a hitch.
Munich set a new record for the most points lost by a Pokal team.
The previous record for this division was a 1-5 loss to Cologne in the second leg of the quarter-finals in 1972.
In all German domestic competitions, they suffered the most defeat by a score in 43 years since they lost 1-7 to Fortuna Dusseldorf in the regular season in 1978.

Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann was unable to sit on the bench that day because he was self-isolating after testing positive for the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
Although he was not able to direct the match, he made up the roster himself.
Robert Lewandowski, the ‘scoring machine’, and key resources such as Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane, Joshua Kimmich, and Benjamin Pavard participated, and Manuel Neuer, the ‘spider hand’ kept the goal.
Munich led the game with 62-38 possession and 83%-74% pass success rate, but failed to score.
Mönchenglatbach scored 5 points with 6 shots while Munich had 8 shots on target with no income.
