Bayern Munich missed a golden chance to win the Bundesliga title after conceding a last-minute goal in a 3-3 draw against RB Leipzig. Harry Kane, watching from the stands, must now wait longer for his first major trophy.
Bayern Almost Won the Bundesliga Title
Bayern Munich were just minutes away from winning this season’s Bundesliga title. A victory at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday would have guaranteed them the trophy. The players and fans were ready to celebrate. Star striker Harry Kane, who was suspended for the match, was watching from the stands, hoping to lift the first trophy of his career. (More Sports News)
But things didn’t go as planned. Bayern were leading 3-2 until the last seconds of the match. Then, RB Leipzig scored a goal in injury time, making it 3-3. The last-minute equalizer delayed Bayern’s championship celebration.
Bayern Miss Kane, Struggle Early
Without Harry Kane, Bayern looked weaker in attack. The English striker has been their top scorer this season, but he had to sit out the game due to suspension. His absence made it harder for Fc to control the match.
RB Leipzig started strong and put Fc under pressure from the beginning. They launched several attacks and looked more dangerous. Leipzig’s Benjamin Cech scored the opening goal in the 11th minute. It was a fast counter-attack, and Xavi Simmons assisted the goal with a clever pass.
Bayern tried to fight back but continued to struggle in the first half. Then, in the 39th minute, Leipzig doubled their lead. Lucas Klostermann headed in a goal from a David Raum free-kick, making it 2-0.
Bayern Bounce Back in Second Half
Bayern came out much stronger after the break. They showed urgency and fought hard to turn the game around. In the 62nd minute, Eric Dier gave Fc hope with a header from a corner kick by Michael Oliseh. Just a minute later, Oliseh scored himself with a powerful shot to equalize the score at 2-2.
The comeback seemed complete when Leroy Sane scored Bayern’s third goal in the 83rd minute. With the score at 3-2, Bayern believed they had sealed the win and the title. Harry Kane even came down from the stands to join the celebration on the sidelines.
Late Heartbreak for Bayern
But Leipzig were not done yet. In the fourth minute of injury time, Yussuf Poulsen scored the equalizer. He chipped the ball past Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, stunning the Fc players and fans. The match ended 3-3, and Bayern missed their chance to secure the title.
Title Still Within Reach
Despite the draw, Bayern still lead the Bundesliga table with 76 points from 32 matches. They are 9 points ahead of second-place Bayer Leverkusen, who have played one game less. Fc have two more games left in the season. Even if they lose both and Leverkusen win their remaining matches, Fc are likely to win the title due to a better goal difference.
Fc will play Borussia Monchengladbach at home next week. If they win that match, they will officially become Bundesliga champions for the 34th time, and Harry Kane will finally have his first major trophy.
Leipzig Stay in the Champions League Race
The draw also helped RB Leipzig stay in the race for the top four. They are currently in fifth place with 50 points. With a few games left, they still have a good chance of qualifying for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Conclusion
Fc Munich were just seconds away from celebrating the Bundesliga title. But a late goal by Leipzig forced a draw and kept the race alive. The title is still Fc to win, but the wait continues for Harry Kane and the team.
