After 11 seasons of dominance, Bayern lost the title in the German championship, and in the last two rounds they could be left without second place!
In the derby of the first of the last three rounds, the hit of the championship, Stuttgart, defeated Thomas Tuchel’s team in front of the home crowd and in the fight for the title of vice-champion came to only two minus points from today’s rival, so Bayern is threatened with the worst ranking since 2011, when they were looking at the back of Borussia Dortmund and Bayeru!
STUTTGART – BAYERN 3:1 (1:1)

In the last decade, Stuttgart was a participant of Zvajta twice, and in the last two seasons they saved themselves from relegation through the barrage (16th place in the Bundesliga).
This year, a complete reset followed – under the command of Sebastian Hennes, Stuttgart broke into the very top of German football and will, quite deservedly, play in the Champions League next season, which will be played for the first time in a new, league format.
The home team took the lead with a goal by Leonidas Stergiu, a defender on loan from St. Gallen, who escaped the Bavarians’ defense and avoided the offside trap. Eight minutes after that goal, Harry Kane equalized from the penalty spot after a foul by Valdemar Anton on Serge Gnabry, and then the nets remained silent until the very end.
And then the Congolese footballer Silas Katompa Mvumpa came on the scene and led Stuttgart to their first home victory over Bayern since November 2007!
In the 83rd minute, he crossed and assisted Wu-Jeong Djeong for a goal, while in the last seconds of the game, in the third minute of stoppage time, he himself checked Manuel Neuer.
In parallel with the desire to preserve the second place in Germany, Tuchel and the team must also think about how to eliminate Real Madrid and try to reach the first final of the Champions League since 2020, when they lifted the championship cup.
The first match, played at the Allianz Arena, ended in a draw (2:2), and the finalist will be decided on May 8 at the “Santiago Bernabeu”.
Today’s championship match, by the way, was in 2008 for Bayern in the Bundesliga, which makes this club the first on the eternal list. Just below is Werder, who today celebrated the jubilee by playing the 2000th game in the elite, but did not spice it up with a triumph (2:2), although at the time of stoppage time it had a minimal advantage against Borussia Monchengladbach.
The “colts” namesake was violent this Saturday – he outclassed Augsburg in Westphalia (5:1), with four goals scored in the first half.
