Harry Kane was ready for his first master party, then only stunned on the edge of the field. FC Bayern Munich missed the premature championship in the Bundesliga 3: 3 (0: 2) from RB Leipzig in added time, now has to hope for a mistake by defending champion Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday.
“A spectacle. It’s a bit of a shame that we got it 3: 3. We are quasi master,” said Bavaria’s sports director Christoph Freund.
In front of 47,800 fans in the sold -out Leipzig Arena, Benjamin Sesko (11th minute) put Bavaria the first neck strike after a mistake by goalkeeper Jonas Urbig. Lukas Klostermann (39th) increased before the break for the hosts. In only one minute, Bayern struck back through Eric Dier (62nd), Michael Olise (63.) at the beginning of the second half. Leroy Sané (83.) later scored 3-2 for the guests. Rakets were already flewing out of the Bayern block-then Yussuf Poulsen (90.+4) hit deep in added time.
Striker Thomas Müller, who stood in the starting eleven for the suspended Harry Kane, said: “Sport is fun, football is of its finest variety. The equalization gate is a bit strange. I feel completely strange, but we are not really yet. But it is very happy that we have bent it around.” He is looking forward to the last game next week in the Allianz Arena and will enjoy it: “Maybe the other people are looking forward to it more than me. They see me less. I see myself every day.”
It was almost clear before the kick -off that the 34th championship for Bayern is only a matter of time. However, the fact that the Munich professionals booked a champions trip to Ibiza by private jet as a precaution, then went a little too far for their own club tour. You don’t want to be accused of arrogance.
“We heard about it, talked to the team and discussed it very openly yesterday. We said: that doesn’t belong, the competition is still running. The team understood it, accordingly: no trip,” said Bavaria’s sports director Max Eberl immediately before the game at Sky. “That the idea came was okay that we talked about it – even better.”
The yellow lock of Harry Kane was also really good-at least for some fans. A few pleading pendants on the Leipzig VIP grandstand were enjoyed by a selfies with the striker star. Then Kane smiled, a good ten minutes later the Briton looked very sparingly.
After a ball loss from Olise, Xavi Simons Benjamin Sesko sent in the direction of Bayern-Tor. About 25 meters before this stood the undecided Jonas Urbig, who also slipped away to all misfortune. Sesko showed all of his technology, promoted the ball from a full run and from a good 30 meters into the goal. A little later, the Slovenian could have increased after a counterattack, but his conclusion from the penalty area was too central.
The monastery man’s highly, which is highly suspected, ensured rare ecstasy. David Raum brought a free kick from a half-left position into the Bavaria penalty area, Klostermann hit the head perfectly and promoted the ball against the direction of Urbig into the goal.
Despite the playful dominance, which Leipzig also allowed, Bavaria was really great. Serge Gnabry came closest in the first section, but his header after a corner flew over the goal.
Aleksandar Pavlovic (51st) did a little better, but his header was also harmless in the end. The Bavarians now wanted, Leipzig was fitting against it. The game became rough, won on the journey. Leipzig was still able to stand on the defensive and to go through all running duels. However, the Saxons have played guided tours more often this season.
Alone, Bayern lacked opportunities played out. Joshua Kimmich (60th) tried it from 20 meters, but the ball clearly flew over it. Then it was over for Thomas Müller, the Bayern icon was replaced by Kingsley Coman (61st).
Immediately afterwards it fit – twice. First, after an olise corner on the short post, it was just right. Immediately after the RB kick, the Bavarians were back, Gnabry serves Olise, who effortlessly hit the far corner. The ex-Leipzig Konrad Laimer (69th) had the entire turn on the head, but the ball flew over the goal. Coman (76th) appeared completely freely in front of RB keeper Maarten Vandevoordt, but then put the ball too far.
