Bayern Munich clinches the title after Leverkusen's defeat in Freiburg
Title Delayed: Bayern Munich's Championship Hangs in the Balance
The Bundesliga title is poised on the brink. Legendary champions Bayern Munich found themselves in a nail-biting cliffhanger, their championship dreams delayed until the final whistle of the season.
Bayern Munich, thirsty for a 34th German title win, sat on the edge of their seats this Sunday — their triumph held hostage by Bayer Leverkusen's competitive grit. A 2-2 draw at Freiburg, Leverkusen's own stalemate, dragged the tension out.
The Bavarians, desperate for a mandatory victory to claim double glory, found themselves in the opposite situation. On the brink of half-time, Xabi Alonso's team was already behind, Eggestein scoring the first goal just before the break (44').
A self-inflicted wound in the second half, Hincapie's own goal at the start (49'), further complicated visitors' odds. Yet, hope seemed to flicker when Wirtz scored, abetted by Grimaldo, turning the debate back on its head (82'). Tah sealed the final draw in injury time (90+2'), but the shared points failed to dampen the celebration in Munich.
With two rounds to go, Bayern Munich, now champions, lead the league with 76 points. Leverkusen sits just behind with 67 points, their hopes of catching up now dwindling. Freiburg, riding the high of the draw, moves up to fourth place, gathering 54 points.
