Bayern Munich Held to 3-3 Draw by RB Leipzig, Title Race Continues
Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga title celebrations were delayed tonight after a dramatic 3-3 draw with RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena. Despite a thrilling second-half comeback, a last-minute equalizer from Leipzig meant Bayern will have to wait to seal the championship.
Match Summary
Leipzig started strong, taking a 2-0 lead through goals from Benjamin Sesko (11′) and Lukas Klostermann (39′). Bayern responded brilliantly in the second half: Eric Dier pulled one back in the 62nd minute, and Michael Olise equalized just a minute later.
The momentum swung completely in Bayern’s favor when Leroy Sané scored in the 83rd minute to make it 3-2. However, Leipzig had the final say as Yussuf Poulsen scored a stoppage-time equalizer, assisted by Xavi Simons, ensuring the points were shared.
Title Race Update
The result leaves Bayern nine points clear at the top with two matches remaining. They could still clinch the Bundesliga title this weekend if Bayer Leverkusen fails to win their next match against Freiburg.
Coach Kompany’s Reaction
Speaking after the game, head coach Vincent Kompany said:
“In the first half, we lacked energy, but I’m proud of the team’s response. It was a great game for the fans and a decent result for us. The title is very close now.”
What’s Next
Bayern Munich will return to action on May 10 against Borussia Mönchengladbach at the Allianz Arena, where they could finally secure their 34th Bundesliga title.
Mia San Mia!
