Harry Kane's title hopes suffer after Bayern Munich draw, Bayer Leverkusen gains control
Bayern Munich's Bundesliga title hopes take a hit with a 2-2 draw against Freiburg, extending a poor run of form.
Bayern Munich's hopes of winning the Bundesliga title suffered another setback as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Freiburg. The team managed by Thomas Tuchel initially fell behind but managed to turn the game around with goals from Mathys Tel and Jamal Musiala. However, a late equalizer from Lucas Holer dashed their hopes of a victory.
This result extends Bayern's poor run of form, having won just one of their last five matches in all competitions. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen remains unbeaten this season and are seven points clear at the top of the table. They have the opportunity to extend this lead on Sunday when they face Cologne.
Bayern, who have won 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles, are facing an uphill battle to secure a 12th title. Tuchel acknowledged the team's shortcomings after the draw with Freiburg, stating that they need to show more discipline and emotionality in their performances.
Harry Kane leads the Bundesliga goalscoring charts with 27 goals, significantly ahead of his closest competitors. However, his first season in Germany may end without any silverware. With Leverkusen in pole position for the Bundesliga title, Bayern's hopes lie in the Champions League, where they are currently trailing in their last-16 tie with Lazio.
The recent string of poor results led to the announcement that Tuchel will leave the club at the end of the season. Kane emphasized the players' responsibility to give their all for the manager and the club, acknowledging that they have not been performing up to their potential.
Overall, Bayern Munich faces a challenging road ahead as they aim to salvage their season and compete for silverware in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
