At Bayern Munich, the defeat is great. Trainer Thomas Tuchel saw how a 1-0 lead against RB Leipzig was completely brushed away by the visitors (1-3) and seems to have relinquished the title. If Borussia Dortmund wins against FC Augsburg on Sunday, the team of Donyell Malen, among others, will take a two-point lead. After that, there is one more round to go.
Tuchel saw his team start well. “We took the lead and could have scored a second time”, the coach looks back Sky. Jamal Musiala, among others, missed the chance of the 2-0. “We didn’t show up in the second half. I don’t have an explanation for it. We’ve had a good run of games and seen team spirit in training. I have no explanation for it. This defeat is entirely our fault. If nobody moves, nobody wants the ball. Then it seems that Leipzig played well. When I lose, I want to lose against a team that was in better shape that day. Not because we let the game slip out of our hands. ” According to Tuchel, someone should have pulled the emergency brake when Leipzig countered towards the equalizer. “Of course. You must do what it takes.”
Leipzig at 1-1 thanks to this wonderful bang from Laimer! ??

Thomas Müller was of great value with an assist with Serge Gnabry’s opening goal, but the veteran could not do anything about Leipzig’s goals either. “We are 1-0 ahead and then we conced a goal from a corner. That speaks volumes,” Müller tells Sky. With about 65 minutes left on the clock and a 1-0 lead on the board, Bayern got a corner, but it was Leipzig that managed to strike from the counter through Konrad Laimer. “If you look at the second half, the three goals we conceded…”, Müller sighs. “It’s not that we were outplayed. We invited Leipzig through our own mistakes. Two penalties and a goal from a corner kick.” Bee Sports1 he said he still had hope for a good outcome. “It’s not over yet. I’ve been through a lot and still believe in it.”
General manager Oliver Kahn also couldn’t believe what he saw from the stands in the Allianz Arena. “This has happened so many times this season,” the former goalkeeper sighs. “It feels like everything is falling apart. You didn’t get the feeling that we could do anything about the score after the equalizer.” After the 1-1, a foul by Benjamin Pavard and a handball by Noussair Mazraoui led to a penalty kick for Leipzig twice. Christopher Nkunku and Dominik Szoboszlai did not fail from eleven meters. “We are no longer in control,” Kahn concludes. “That is bitter. We are very disappointed that we gave this opportunity away.” If Dortmund actually benefits and takes the title, it will be champions for the first time since 2011/12. That was also the last season that Bayern did not become champions.
