RB Leipzig vs Bayern – 4-5
Bayern have turned the match around. The game showed that you should never count out the Rekordmeister! Leipzig looked like the sure winner, and Timo Werner the player of the match, but in the end Bayern were able to turn the game around winning the match in unbelievable fashion. Dortmund’s 1-1 draw in Augsburg means that Leipzig will finish the season in second place.

11. Minute
Bayern establish themselves at Leipzig’s box, but can’t find a way through. Leipzig then quickly collect the ball and move forward in numbers. Werner breaks through on the left side again, but his shot hits the far post. Could be 2-0 for Leipzig at this point.
