On May 4, the 32nd round of the Bundesliga staged a world-renowned focus battle. The leader Bayern Munich came to the Red Bull Arena to challenge RB Leipzig. They had the opportunity to be crowned the Bundesliga champion two rounds in advance, but in an ups and downs game, they were equalized by Leipzig in the stoppage time, and the game ended with a regrettable 3-3, and the suspense of the championship was postponed again.
At the beginning of the game, Leipzig, playing at home, showed a strong desire to win. In the 11th minute, Xavi Simmons made an accurate long pass in the midfield, assisting Cesco to score a wonderful lob, taking advantage of the Bayern goalkeeper Ulbig's accidental slip to help the home team get a dream start. In the 39th minute, Leipzig took advantage of the victory, and Raum's free kick found Klostermann who inserted in the middle, who headed the ball to expand the score to 2-0 . At the end of the first half, Bayern was extremely passive.
Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Bayern coach Tuchel made decisive adjustments in the midfield, replacing Guerrero and Ter to strengthen the attack. As expected, Bayern had a completely new look in the second half. In the 62nd minute, Olise assisted Dale with a header from a corner kick, sounding the horn of counterattack. Just one minute later, Olise scored again, this time receiving Gnabry's header and slashing the ball from outside the penalty area, quickly tying the score to 2-2 .
Bayern, with morale boosted, continued to suppress their opponents. In the 83rd minute, Kimmich and Sane cleverly cooperated to overtake. The latter calmly shot in the penalty area, helping Bayern to overtake 3-2, seemingly winning. However, there is never a lack of drama on the football field. In the last minute of stoppage time, Leipzig did not give up. In the 94th minute, Xavi Simmons attracted several people at the front of the penalty area and passed the ball to the right. Poulsen calmly shot and hit the equalizer, setting the score at 3-3 . The Red Bull Arena was instantly boiling, and Bayern's championship celebration was stranded.
From the data level, Bayern's ball possession rate was as high as 62% , and the number of shots reached 20 , while Leipzig only had 8 shots, but the loopholes in the back line and the instability on the spot made Bayern lose a good opportunity. In particular, the lax defense at the last moment became the most fatal point of losing points in this game.
After the draw, Bayern Munich continued to lead the standings with 76 points, 9 points ahead of second-placed Leverkusen, but failed to win the title two rounds in advance due to goal difference and theoretical points. For Leipzig, this point is extremely crucial, as they tied Dortmund in points and rekindled their hopes in the competition for the Champions League qualification.
This game not only continued the suspense of the Bundesliga championship, but also made the competition for the Champions League ticket more intense. With two rounds left in the season, Bayern still holds the initiative, but if they continue to expose their defensive shortcomings, the championship may be in jeopardy. Leipzig's tenacious performance also presented a wonderful football feast for the fans. The subsequent Bundesliga situation will still be confusing and deserves continued attention.
