The Munich audience was preparing to slash the champagne, but the pouring rain fell on the Saxony showing off the hopes of Bayern Munich. As they led 3-2 to the Red Bull Arena against the RB Leipzig, the Bavarians saw Yussuf Poulsen emerge in additional time to equalize the 90th+5 and delay the long-awaited coronation. A cruel setback for the men of Vincent Kompany, who were a few seconds to win their 34th national title.
Led 1-0 at the break, the Munichois had nevertheless reacted in the second half. Eric Dier had first equalized by the head (62nd), before Michael Olise confirmed his dream season with a strike from the left halfway up (63rd), thus signing his 10th goal in Bundesliga. Leroy Sané then thought of offering the title to his team by scoring in the 83rd minute on a discount of Joshua Kimmich. But that was without counting on Leipzig's aggressiveness and the determination of Poulsen to snatch an unexpected point.
A goal for too much for Bayern: the coronation will have to wait
Suspended for this shock, Harry Kane was in the stands and could already taste the idea of ​​finally lifting a trophy in his career. But the Bundesliga's decision decided otherwise: no title validated mathematically this Saturday. The Englishman, who has so long awaited a title, will have to wait at least an additional week. The next match against Borussia Dortmund may well be that of consecration, if the Bavarians do not flank again.
Sacred sacred for Bayern: the fault of a cruel end
With 9 points ahead of the end, no one really imagines Bayern lets a title spinning his arms. But this unexpected draw reminds us that nothing is ever acquired, even for an ogre. Evening frustration will undoubtedly be transformed very quickly into a triumph. In the meantime, the Bavarians will savor their resilience, even if the taste is a bit bitter.
It was raining Torrents on Leipzig this Saturday, as if to foreshadow disappointment. Bayern players, who had turned brilliantly, missed a coronation in the rules. But it is only a postponement. The outcome is hardly in doubt: Bayern will be champion. But for this Saturday, it is a cold shower that seized Kompany and his men.
