Munich strategist Louis van Gaal admits that his disciples will no longer be able to defend the title of German champions.
Although only about half of the season has been played, the Bavarian club is already trailing the leader Borussia Dortmund by 14 points.
"Many things can happen, but I think the leader is already too far ahead," said the Dutchman after the loss to the Schalke team in Gelsenkirchen. "We needed to win so that Borussia would start feeling the pressure. But both us and the team in second place, Mainz, lost, so Dortmund's team has nothing to worry about."
The leaders of Bayern, who are only in seventh place, set a goal for the coach to earn 10 points in the last 4 matches before the Christmas break.
