Africa-Press – Eritrea. RB Leipzig scored in the fifth minute of injury time to prevent Bayern Munich from sealing a 34th German league title after a dramatic 3-3 draw at the Red Bull Arena.
Yussuf Poulsen scored with practically the last kick of the game to deny Bayern the three points they needed to wrestle the title back from Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern, who have a nine-point lead and a goal difference of +30 over second-placed Leverkusen, now need one more point to mathematically secure the title.
Vincent Kompany’s side had battled back from two goals down at half-time in Leipzig to take the lead, with goals from Eric Dier, Michael Olise and Leroy Sane.
England captain Harry Kane, who was serving a one-match suspension, had made his way down from the stands to pitchside as Bayern prepared to celebrate their first league title since 2023.
But Poulsen scored to give Leipzig a share of the spoils.
Benjamin Sesko, 21, had given Leipzig the lead with a superb long-range finish with the outside of his boot, before Lukas Klostermann doubled the home side’s advantage with a header shortly before half-time.
Bayern hit back with two goals in 46 seconds, first through former Tottenham defender Dier and then through ex-Crystal Palace winger Olise.
Bayern found what looked to be the winner six minutes from time when Germany winger Sane curled a stunning effort into the bottom corner.
But Poulsen, in the 94th minute, chipped Jonas Urbig to delay Bayern’s title celebrations.
Kompany’s side will be crowned champions if Leverkusen, who have a game in hand, fail to beat SC Freiburg on Sunday (16:30 BST).
Should Leverkusen win, Bayern will have the chance to claim the title at the Allianz Arena against Borussia Monchengladbach on 9 May.
