Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola has come under fire from his Bundesliga peers for fielding a weakened team ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinal, second leg at home to Manchester United.
The European champion suffered its first German league defeat in 18 months on Saturday, abruptly ending its record 53-match unbeaten Bundesliga run with a 1-0 defeat at Augsburg.
Guardiola paid the price for naming three teenagers in his starting lineup as he made seven changes from last Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Manchester United in the first leg.
