In a thrilling Bundesliga encounter on May 3, 2025, RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich played to a 3-3 draw at the Red Bull Arena, delaying Bayern’s bid to clinch the league title.
Match Summary
- First Half: RB Leipzig took a commanding 2-0 lead with goals from Benjamin Šeško in the 11th minute and Lukas Klostermann in the 39th minute.
- Second Half: Bayern Munich mounted a comeback with quick goals from Eric Dier (62′) and Michael Olise (63′), leveling the score. Leroy Sané then gave Bayern the lead in the 84th minute.
- Stoppage Time Drama: In the 95th minute, Yussuf Poulsen scored a dramatic equalizer for Leipzig, preventing Bayern from securing the title on the day.
Title Implications

A Leverkusen loss or draw in their upcoming match against Freiburg could still secure the title for Bayern. Otherwise, Bayern will need at least a draw in their next match against Borussia Mönchengladbach to clinch the championship.
Harry Kane’s Absence
Bayern’s top scorer, Harry Kane, was suspended for the match due to accumulating five yellow cards. He was present at the stadium and prepared to celebrate a potential title win, but Poulsen’s late goal postponed those celebrations.
