Bayern Munich were crowned Bundesliga champions for the 34th time on Sunday, securing Harry Kane’s first major trophy after Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-2 draw at Freiburg.
Bayern had drawn 3-3 with RB Leipzig on Saturday, coming back from two goals down only to concede a stoppage-time equaliser. This result meant that Leverkusen, in second place, had to win against Freiburg to delay Bayern’s title celebrations.
Leverkusen fought back from two goals down to level the score in the final 10 minutes, but they couldn’t find a third goal to extend their title hopes. As a result, Bayern reclaimed the title at the first attempt after Leverkusen dethroned them last season.
Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen’s manager and former Bayern player, congratulated his old club. “Congratulations to Bayern. They were the more consistent team and deserve the championship,” Alonso said.
Kane, suspended for Bayern’s match against Leipzig, was in Munich watching the game and will return for Bayern’s final home match against Borussia Moenchengladbach this Saturday, where the team will receive the Bundesliga shield.
Leverkusen’s chances of defending their title were all but dashed due to Bayern’s superior goal difference. Freiburg’s Maximilian Eggestein scored a stunning goal from outside the box before halftime, and Piero Hincapie’s own goal gave Leverkusen a mountain to climb.
Florian Wirtz scored a remarkable solo goal late in the match, and Jonathan Tah equalised in stoppage time, but Leverkusen could not find a winner. With two games remaining, they are now eight points behind Bayern.
Leverkusen’s focus shifts to holding on to manager Alonso and star player Wirtz, who are both subject to speculation over summer transfers.
In other Bundesliga action, Freiburg’s 2-2 draw kept them in fourth place, one point ahead of Borussia Dortmund in the final Champions League spot. Eintracht Frankfurt’s 1-1 draw at Mainz also kept their Champions League hopes alive.
