SC Freiburg has also removed the last doubts about the title of FC Bayern and deprived Bayer Leverkusen as German champion. The Double winner of the pre-season came to a 2: 2 (0: 1) after 0-2 deficit after 0-2 deficit, but the Munich can no longer displace the two game days in the Bundesliga from the first place in the table. Bayern played 3: 3 at RB Leipzig on Saturday and then felt like a master. However, they are only finally mathematical through Leverkusen’s mistake.
“It is a deserved championship,” Bayer coach Xabi Alonso praised Bayern: “They were the better team, they were constant.” Sports director Simon Rolfes said: “Congratulations to Bayern. They have become a deserved German champion.” Bayern board member Max Eberl and coach Vincent Kompany will congratulate him personally.
In Schlabber Hoodie and Jeans, the Bayern professionals celebrated their mini championship party in a Nobelrestaurant in Munich. “We are the champions,” sang Harry Kane into the camera and enjoyed the first club title of his long career to the fullest. Next to him, Master Coach Kompany and Joshua Kimmich treated themselves to a glass of wine, Eric dier preferred a beer.
So the game SC Freiburg against Bayer Leverkusen ran
Maximilian Eggestein met Bayer 04 in the 44th minute with a massive long -range shot for the Freiburg, who can continue to hope for the first time to the Champions League. In the 49th minute, Leverkusens Piero Hincapié undertook an own goal in front of 34,700 spectators. Florian Wirtz (82nd) and Jonathan Tah (90.+3) still equalized. The Freiburg still conquered fourth place from Borussia Dortmund by winning the point. Bayer lost the shell, but remained unbeaten in the 33rd Bundesliga away game in series. The Werkelf set a more than ten -year -old record of Bayern.
The Leverkuseners started extremely dominant, initially had a lot of possession of the ball and kept looking for their offensive star Wirtz. However, they did not develop any risk of goal throughout the first half – to the annoyance of their coach Xabi Alonso, who gestured wildly on the sidelines. The sports club took a quarter of an hour to get into play. But then he took command from minute to minute. A ball loss from Bayer defense chief Tah (24th) remained without consequences. Ten minutes later, goalkeeper Matej Kovar prevented the Leverkusen behind Patrick Osterhage.
Shortly before the break, however, it was time: Eggestein took a heart and held on it from a good 25 meters from a half -left position. Leverkusen’s Emiliano Buendia still falsified the ball slightly – kovar in the goal had no chance.
After the change of sides, it got really bitter for Bayer: Freiburg’s lively Ritsu Doan flanked in front of the goal – and Hincapie involuntarily pressed a header by SC offensive man Johan Manzambi over his own line. Just two minutes later, Junior Adamu almost increased to 3-0 for the hosts.
A real reaction of the Leverkuseners to the new setback failed to do so. Negative body language, some slight mistakes – there was nothing more indicated for a turn. A counterattack, at the end of the Wirtz flank in the goal, was almost symbol of the appearance of the emotion.
But then the international hit the connection with a low shot. And the Leverkuseners were still adding. In added time, Tah achieved the compensation that was hardly possible. Coach Alonso laughed cheerfully and clapped.
