84th minute: Penalty for Leipzig! Clear handball by Mazraoui in the penalty area. What is the right-back doing? With his left arm he goes to the ball. It could hardly be clearer. The Bavarians give away the top game.

84th minute: Huge opportunity to make it 3-1! After a diagonal ball, Nkunku is through, the flag stays down. The Frenchman stands in front of Sommer for seconds and then literally shoots at the Swiss goalie. Laimer would be free.

74th minute: Penalty for Leipzig! A very clear foul by Pavard on Nkunku in the penalty area. The French defender goes into a duel against his compatriot completely impetuous. Shiri Aytekin immediately points to the point.

73rd minute: Dangerous! Szoboszlai pulls a free kick directly onto the Munich goal. Sommer has to fist the ball away. Leipzig are now playing for a possible 2-1 victory. According to the taste of Dortmund, who, if the score remains the same, could pass Munich tomorrow with a win in Augsburg.

70th minute: Double substitution at Bayern: Goretzka and Gnabry go down, Gravenberch and Sané come on. The Munich team need a goal.

FC Bayern vs Leipzig live: Laimer scores the equaliser

65th minute: Goal! FC Bayern 1-1 RB Leipzig, scorer: Laimer. The balance! Where is the Bavarian residual defense in this scene? After a corner kick from Munich, RBL simply countered the record champions. Laimer takes the ball and plays to Nkunku. The Frenchman tries to get the ball in front of the goal, but is blocked. So the ball lands with Laimer, who hammers the ball into the mesh with a lot of force.

64th minute: Not much has come from Bayern since the change of sides. A free-kick feint goes wrong because the ball is played too far. What is Leipzig doing? It remains a thriller.

62nd minute: Bayern now moves back into Leipzig's half. Are the Munich team now looking for a second goal? A shot from Kimmich misses the mark.

50th minute: Leipzig are on the trigger. The Bavarians are literally pushed in front of their own penalty area. Munich is now lurking on the counterattack. The game is a true thriller!

48th minute: Bayern come out of the dressing room a bit shaky. He plays the ball out of bounds for Coman, then Cancelo stops the ball without pressure with his chest also into the side-out. Leipzig, on the other hand, presses earlier and higher.

46th minute: The game continues in Munich!

39th minute: Huge chance for Bayern! After a cross from Cancelo, Coman puts a header inches from the far post.

38th minute: Bayern have survived Leipzig's pressure phase unscathed. The game remains completely open. In Dortmund, they are also likely to take a very close look at what is happening in Fröttmaning.

36th minute: Watch out! Already the third good chance for Leipzig in three minutes. After a cross, Olmo gets a header at the five-yard area. However, the Spaniard heads Sommer directly.

34. Minute: Vorsicht! Großchance für Leipzig! Bayern klärt den Ball nach einer Flanke mittig vor das Tor. Szoboszlai hält volley drauf. Sommer taucht in die Ecke ab und pariert.

FC Bayern gegen RB Leipzig im Live-Ticker: Serge Gnabry mit der Führung

25. Minute: Tooooorrrrr!!! FC Bayern - RB Leipzig 1:0, Torschütze: Gnabry. Die Führung im Meister-Krimi! Gnabry geht in der Box durch die Lücke hindurch, die ihm die Leipziger Abwehr anbietet. Der Schwabe setzt den Ball willensstark an den Innenpfosten, von wo die Kugel hinter die Linie geht. Großer Jubel in der Münchner Arena.

23. Minute: Bayern spielt sehr diszipliniert, verliert nicht die Ordnung. Dani Olmo ist bei Leipzig noch kein Faktor, Nkunku auch nicht.

18. Minute: Gefährlich! Musiala steckt für Müller durch, der aus kürzester Distanz an Blaswich scheitert. Das kann die Führung sein!

18. Minute: Leipzig zieht jetzt selbst Pressing auf und gewinnt mehr Zweikämpfe. Die Bayern sind sichtlich darum bemüht, keine einfachen technischen Fehler zu machen.

15. Minute: Es ist recht wenig Tempo in diesem Spiel. Beide Kontrahenten wollen offensichtlich nicht zu großes Risiko gehen. Eine richtige Torchance gab es deshalb bislang noch nicht.

12. Minute: Uhhhhh ... Simakan und Cancelo rauschen bei einem Kopfballduell übel zusammen. Beide müssen behandelt werden - dann kann es auch für sie weitergehen.

FC Bayern gegen RB Leipzig im Live-Ticker: Münchner pressen sehr hoch

11. Minute: Die Bayern stehen sehr hoch und pressen die gegnerische Abwehr. Es wirkt, als wollten die Münchner das erste Tor regelrecht erzwingen. Leipzig kommt kaum hinten raus.

9. Minute: RB Leipzig kann sich aus dem Münchner Druck etwas befreien. Dennoch bekommen die Gäste Super-Stürmer Nkunku noch nicht ins Spiel. Pavard verteidigt einen Angriff des Franzosen stoisch. Die Spannung ist beinahe greifbar!

6. Minute: Die Münchner geben von Beginn an den Ton an. RBL zieht sich weit vor die eigene Box zurück. Das ist in der Regel riskant gegen den FCB.

4. Minute: Leipzig steht sehr kompakt und dicht im Mittelfeld. Bayern baut sein Spiel sehr geduldig auf. Ein Geduldsspiel könnte es auch geben.

2. Minute: Erster Eckball für RB Leipzig nach nur 25 Sekunden, herausgeholt durch Simakan. Aber Bayern kann die Szene klären. Die Sachsen beginnen forsch.

1. Minute: Los geht es in Fröttmaning mit dem Meister-Krimi!

FC Bayern vs RB Leipzig live ticker: Excitement is palpable

First reported on 20 May: Munich - The excitement is palpable: FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are vying for the German championship. This Saturday, the Munich team will have to face RB Leipzig (from 18.30 CET) in a showdown with the Westphalians.

For Joshua Kimmich, it's today's game against his former club. Between 2013 and 2015, the Swabian played for the Saxons. Which could put Bayern (68 points) under real pressure, should, indeed should not FCB win their home game at the Allianz Arena.

Excitement about Joshua Kimmich: Real Madrid are interested in the Munich strategist

Because then BVB (67) could pass the German Bundesliga record champions on the penultimate matchday with a win on Sunday evening (from 17.30 CET) at FC Augsburg. Kimmich should help to prevent this scenario. But the 28-year-old midfield strategist, of all people, is the subject of excitement before kick-off.

Real Madrid are said to be working hard to secure Kimmich's contract until the summer of 2025. In the medium term, the "Royals" are looking for replacements for the time after the era of Toni Kroos (33 years) and Luka Modric (37). However, Kimmich should not be distracted by this against former club RBL, the German international is known for focusing on his goals. And the goal is the trophy after a thoroughly mixed season for the Munich team. At best, a victory should be achieved today.
