The day started with an early lead for Bayern at the RheinEnergieStadion, thanks to Kingsley Coman. The atmosphere was electric as news came in that Andreas Hanche-Olsen had given Mainz the lead at Dortmund. This was a significant development as it meant that Dortmund’s dream of clinching the title was slowly turning into a nightmare.
The situation worsened for Dortmund when Sebastian Haller missed a penalty, and Karim Onisiwo put Mainz 2-0 up. However, Dortmund’s Raphaël Guerreiro managed to pull one back in the second half. The game took another unexpected turn when Köln’s Dejan Ljubicic netted a penalty, seemingly handing the title to Dortmund.
However, in a thrilling twist, Jamal Musiala scored a brilliant 89th-minute winning goal, swinging the title race back in favor of the Bundesliga record champions. This victory marked the first Bundesliga title of coach Thomas Tuchel’s career and the 33rd in the record champions’ history.
Meanwhile, Dortmund was left to ponder over their missed opportunities. Despite needing just a win at home on the final day, they failed to secure the title, with Niklas Süle’s late equaliser coming too late to make a difference.
The victory of Bayern Munich is a testament to their unwavering determination and skill. It’s a reminder that in the world of football, the game is not over until the final whistle blows.
