Bayern Munich title chase could end earlier than expected if results don’t go their way this weekend
The defending Bundesliga champions could end the weekend 10 points off the top of the Bundesliga after dropping points against Freiburg.
With Bayer Leverkusen yet to play this weekend they still lead Bayern by seven points after Thomas Tuchel side could only draw 2-2 at Frieburg
Bayern went into the game eight points adrift of first place Leverkusen and needed a win to reduce it to five points and hope Bayer drop points but a late goal from Lucas Holer denied Bayern a win
Bayern are now seven points behind unbeaten leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who visit Cologne in their game in hand on Sunday.
It could spell the end of the Munich outfit’s decade of total dominance in German football. They have won a record 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles.
Their poor season has already led to the news Tuchel will leave at the end of the season.
If Bayern fail to beat Lazio on Tuesday in the Champions League last-16 second leg – they lost the first tie 1-0 in Rome – they are likely to end the season without any silverware.
