Bayern escape BVB after winning 3-2 in the Bundesliga summit. Nico Schlotterbeck becomes a tragic figure. Harry Kane scores his league goals 29 and 30 this season.
Harry Kane, who was once again outstanding, danced with his arms outstretched in front of the traveling fans, for whom the title fight has already been decided after the prestigious victory at Borussia Dortmund. “German champions FCB,” sang the Bayern fans. Given the 3:2 (0:1) win over the second-place team and now eleven points ahead, hardly anyone doubts that Munich will win its 35th championship title.
“We want to keep winning our games. But we knew that this was an important game for us,” said Bayern international Jonathan Tah on Sky. BVB defender Nico Schlotterbeck, who was involved in many important scenes, said: “It was an all-in game for us. I don’t think you can accuse us of not doing enough.” Unfortunately in the end it wasn’t enough. “It’s really annoying to lose here.”
Schlotterbeck (26th) had put BVB in the lead, but was lucky twice not to be sent off. Super striker Kane with a brace (54th minute/70th, penalty kick) and Joshua Kimmich (87th) decided the prestigious duel after the break. Daniel Svensson (83′) scored to make it 2-2.

In addition to the painful defeat, Dortmund also lamented the loss of captain Emre Can, who apparently had to be replaced before the break with a serious injury.
