BERLIN (AP) — Bayern Munich players are facing criticism and scrutiny for taking a short holiday in Ibiza after losing 3-1 to Mainz with the Bundesliga title already wrapped up. Bayern clinched its 10th consecutive title with three rounds to spare on April 23, then followed up with its lackluster display in Mainz on Saturday.

Former Bayern great Lothar Matthäus slammed the trip after the team’s dismal showing in Mainz. Hertha Berlin coach Felix Magath has questioned the Bayern players’ professionalism.
