Since wrapping up the Bundesliga title, Bayern have lost their Champions League semi-final first leg 3-0 to Barcelona, gone out of the DFB-Pokal on penalties to Borussia Dortmund and lost league games to Bayer Leverkusen and Augsburg.

And Matthaus told Sky Deutschland:

Guardiola has already said that their season is over and he's been rotating his team so much that he's unsettling the team.

His team no longer has the stability they had for over eight months, enchanting football fans up and down Germany.

It seems the players are losing a bit of belief in the coach, and he hadn't expected that.
