While Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are battling it out for the Premier League title, the Bundesliga title is largely settled, and Bayer Leverkusen are 16 points clear of Bayern Munich after 28 rounds of unbeaten performances in their opening 42 games in all competitions. The 29th round of the Bundesliga starts this weekend, and Bayern, who took the lead, is at home to Cologne. Kane wasted many opportunities in this campaign, Bayern was once scoreless, but fortunately, Guerrero sealed his throat with a sword, Muller scored a whistle, and Nanda Wang still struggled to score all 3 points, delaying the process of Leverkusen winning the championship. However, Koeman went off injured during the game, casting a shadow over next week's Champions League clash with Arsenal.
Although Cologne finished second from bottom in the table, Tuchel did not dare to slack off, with Ulreich replacing Manuel Neuer in goal, Kimmich continuing to play at right-back, joining De Ligt, Dier and Mazraoui in defence, Pavlovic and Guerreiro in the back, Koeman, Muller and Tel lined up, and Kane continued to be up front.
After the game started, Bayern relied on the advantage of strength and put a lot of pressure on Cologne. Only 5 minutes into the opening game, Kane forced the ball forward, and the Cologne defender made a tactical foul, which once made Mr. 100 million fall to the ground in pain, but fortunately he continued to play after a while.
In the 12th minute, the new star Tel showed his ability, the left side of the penalty area changed to the inside to shake the angle, and decisively shot into the far corner, but the Cologne goalkeeper was very focused and flew to keep the ball away. In the 20th minute, Cologne also made a color, Ljubičić crossed from the left, Adamyan jumped in front of the goal, but Ulreich blocked the ball.
In the 29th minute, Bayern kicked the ball on the right side in a row, Muller crossed the middle, Kane followed up the straight stopper, Guerreiro faced the goalkeeper, and the single push was saved! 5 minutes later, Bayern tore the gap from the right side again, Kimmich's cross was cleared, Musiala's header was ferried, Muller's heel cleverly knocked, Kane met the ball and pushed it into the far corner, and was ruthlessly rejected by the goalpost!
In the 37th minute, Kane's cross from the right side of the penalty area was blocked, and then the ball was split and shook off the defender, and the ball slid past the far corner from a small angle. In the 43rd minute, Coman broke through the back point of the cross on the right side, and Tel followed up with a shot, went straight to the top right corner of the goal, and hit the post again!
After the first 45 minutes, Bayern had more than 70% possession and created nine shots on goal, but unfortunately there was no result, and the two teams returned to the dressing room with a 0-0 victory. In the 48th minute, Coman strained without confrontation and was supported by the team doctor to leave the field, and Musiala played urgently.
In the 65th minute, Bayern took a corner kick offensive, Kimmich passed the ball in an inverted triangle, Guerreiro cut and then shot with his feet, hitting a world wave, the ball drew an arc in the air, hanging directly in the upper left corner of the goal, the Cologne goalkeeper was out of reach, and the king of Nanda finally broke the deadlock, 1-0!
In the 88th minute, substitute Yu Parmecano made a mistake in the backfield and almost made a big mistake, but fortunately, Tiggs's volley was bravely blocked by Ulreich. In the 93rd minute, Muller made a steal in front of the court and scored with a single push, and the score was fixed at 2-0!
Bayern won 2-0 against Cologne and refused to be crowned early by Bayer Leverkusen. However, Bayern is still 13 points behind, as long as Bayer Leverkusen beats Bremen in this round, they can still lift the Bundesliga title, and the Southern King is gone. What worries Tuchel even more is that Gnabry and Koeman have been injured in succession, and the Champions League clash with Arsenal in midweek will make it more difficult to qualify.
