Last-minute setback for Bayern's title victory celebration - Upset in the playoffs: Bayern's championship match delayed
The dream of an early Bundesliga triumph for Bayern Munich was crushed by RB Leipzig's thrilling 3-3 equalizer deep into injury time. With Bayer Leverkusen's title defense on Sunday, the Bavarians now await a potential slip-up to secure their coveted title.
In a pulsating encounter before 47,800 ecstatic spectators at the packed Leipzig Arena, Benjamin Sesko (11th) and Lukas Klostermann (39th) put Leipzig in control. However, the resilient Bayern clawed their way back through Eric Dier (62nd) and Michael Olise (63rd), only for Yussuf Poulsen (90+4) to steal Leipzig's jubilant victory late on.
🔥 Eberl Bins Ibiza Holiday
Although Bayern was seemingly on the cusp of lifting their 34th championship, the team's pre-booked private jet to Ibiza sparked controversy. Fearing accusations of arrogance, they scrapped the trip.
"We discussed it as a team, and it was clear we shouldn't go. The competition isn't over," said Bayern's sporting director Max Eberl. While the idea may have seemed premature, the team's open dialogue was met with approval.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane's suspension due to a yellow card was a blessing for some fans. A select group of Leipzig loyalists managed to snap a selfie with the star striker, who wore a smile before showing a moment of reflection moments later.
🥅 Klostermann's Fortunate Fluke
Following a mishap from Michael Olise, Xavi Simons sent Benjamin Sesko hurtling towards Bayern's goal. Jonas Urbig, the Bayern keeper, slipped,scrambling to intercept. Sesko took advantage, unleashing a stunning outside-of-the-foot strike from 30 meters that found the net. Later, Sesko had a chance to extend Leipzig's lead, but his shot from the edge of the box was wide.
The rarely goal-scoring Klostermann then produced a rare moment of magic. David Raum delivered a free-kick into the Bayern box, and Klostermann's superb header left Urbig rooted to the spot.
Despite dominating possession, Bayern failed to create clear-cut opportunities. Serge Gnabry came closest in the first half, but his header from a corner sailed over the bar.
💰 Bayern Strike Twice
Aleksandar Pavlovic (51st) headed wide, but the Bayern pressure continued. Leipzig held firm, but their propensity to squander leads this season was Wesensässlich.
Bayern were struggling to create chances, but Kimmich (60th) let loose a long-range effort that went wide. Müller was replaced by Kingsley Coman (61st), and moments later, Bayern scored - twice. First, Dier capitalized on an Olise corner, before Bayern struck again right after the restart, Gnabry teeing up Olise for a cool finish. Ironically, it was former Leipzig player Konrad Laimer (69.) who turned the match on its head, but his powerful shot flew over the goal. Coman (76.) found space in front of the RB keeper, but his attempt was a weak one.
- Remember, mate, media reports do not explicitly suggest that Max Eberl canceled the Ibiza trip due to the draw against RB Leipzig. The team's decision to forego travel plans may be due to several factors, not limited to recent results and discussions within the team.
