Bayern forced to wait after wild draw at Leipzig
Bayern Munich's Bundesliga title celebrations were put on hold after Yussuf Poulsen's stoppage-time equaliser snatched a 3-3 draw for RB Leipzig.
Vincent Kompany's side can still secure top-flight glory this weekend, if Bayer Leverkusen, which is nine points behind the leader with a game in hand, fails to win away to Freiburg on Monday (AEST).
A chaotic opening saw Benjamin Sesko lob a stranded Jonas Urbig for a delightful 11th-minute opener, before Lukas Klostermann doubled the home side's advantage six minutes before the interval.
Michael Olise sparked a comeback in the second half, first setting up Eric Dier from a corner, before linking up with Serge Gnabry and scoring himself just a minute later to level proceedings.
Bayern seemed set to clinch the title when Leroy Sane fired home with just seven minutes remaining, only for Leipzig to fight back in the dying seconds.
Xavi Simons found a pocket of space outside the area and rolled through for Poulsen, who showed remarkable composure to lift a chip over the onrushing Urbig to level in the fourth minute of stoppage-time.
The last-gasp draw leaves Bayern waiting on Leverkusen's result to seal its top-flight title, otherwise Kompany's side can secure the Bundesliga crown when it hosts Borussia Monchengladbach next weekend.
Bayern coach Kompany was full of pride, despite the result.
"In the first half we did not have the energy," he said.
"It was a good game for the fans and not a bad result for us, and I am very proud of the second half.
"The reason I am proud is we had quite a few players not there [through injury] and the image and energy was not too different than what we do in our best moments."
Bayern is still missing several through injury, including Jamal Musiala, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito.
Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane was also missing after earning a suspension.
Kompany, in his first season in charge, is looking to bring the league trophy back to Munich after Leverkusen ended Bayern's 11-year league stranglehold last season with a domestic league and cup double win.
"Congratulations to the boys and we are close now," Kompany said.
