Background:
The climactic match between Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig on May 3, 2025, was an exciting affair, with Bayern needing a win to secure another Bundesliga title. Leading the charge for Bayern was renowned striker Harry Kane, the top scorer in the league with 24 goals[1].
Yet, the first half of the game wasn't on Bayern's side, with RB Leipzig dominating the play. Striker Benjamin Sesko added his 21st goal of the season, while defender Lukas Klostermann also found the back of the net, giving RB Leipzig a commanding 2-0 lead at halftime[1].
However, Bayern showed glimmers of promise in the second half, threatening to turn the tide. The efforts eventually paid off, as they equalized. But just as it seemed that Bayern were on their way to securing the title, RB Leipzig's Yussuf Poulsen scored a dramatic last-minute equalizer, sending the game into a 3-3 stalemate[4].
Though Bayern's title celebrations were put on hold, their lead in the Bundesliga is substantial. Bayer Leverkusen would need to win their remaining matches and hope for heavy Bayern defeats to have a chance of catching up[3]. This pulsating, last-gasp goal by Poulsen has earned the finale of this match the moniker Hitchcock-style.
