FC Bayern can still win.
Against RB Leipzig, Harry Kane breaks the spell in stoppage time.
The individual criticism.
Munich – Game one after the big Tuchel blast at FC Bayern is history.
And Munich can still win.
Against RB Leipzig, Tuchel's team also had the luck they needed in the last few games - and Harry Kane.
Harry Kane gives FC Bayern the lead, but misses the winning goal
The Munich team got off to a good start, but failed to reward themselves several times in the first half.
Harry Kane and Leroy Sané let their half-time lead slip several times.
In the second half, the guests came out of the locker room much better, but did not punish Tuchel's team for their negligence.
FC Bayern was completely different in the second half.
With the first good attack via Raphaël Guerreiro, Jamal Musiala and finally Harry Kane, Munich took the lead.
But the opening goal didn't bring any security into the Bayern game.
Rather, Manuel Neuer had to save the lead against Benjamin Sesko with an outstanding reflex.
In the 70th minute, the Slovenian did better with the help of Leon Goretzka and scored the deserved equalizer.
After that, Kane missed the secure lead before the Englishman did even better in added time and ensured Munich's salvation.

individual review.
Manuel Neuer
Saved the Munich team after almost an hour with a strong save against RB striker Sesko.
Was powerless to score the equalizer and kept a clean sheet for the sixth time in a row.

FC Bayern is probably planning radical changes
Joshua Kimmich
On Friday, national coach Julian Nagelsmann announced that he was planning to play with him at right-back at the European Championships.
On Saturday Kimmich also had to help out at the club because all three regular RVs were injured.
Did his job well, but was lucky to be able to finish the game on the pitch at all: After a duel with Leipzig's Openda, Kimmich stepped on the ground and caught the striker in the abdomen with his studs.
There are definitely referees who would have shown a red card here.
Grade: 4
Matthijs de Ligt
Stabilized the defense and showed with his loud commands why he was originally planned as the defense boss.
Still didn't manage to keep the center tight and, in conjunction with Dier, left too much space for the RB strikers.
Note 3
Eric Dier
Some Bayern fans may have been afraid when they saw the line-up before the game: Dier, who is not exactly known for his top speed, was supposed to defend against Leipzig's fast-paced attack.
The Englishman resolutely defended most of the RB attacks, but was too far away when the goal was conceded.
Note 3
Raphael Guerreiro
He put a lot of steam forward and created numerous opportunities on the left.
But he had problems keeping his balance - which meant freedom for Leipzig's Olmo.
It's invigorating for the offense - but a risk for the backline.
Note 3
Leon Goretzka
Missed the chance to play directly forward several times and instead opted for cross passes.
Although I wanted to convey security, it actually slowed down the game extremely.
He also made a decisive deflection when conceding a goal.
Grade: 5
Aleksandar Pavlovic
Initiated almost all attacks with strong lateral shifts towards the advanced Guerreiro.
Always ready to play, but above all with remarkable body language: the 19-year-old demanded almost every ball and was reminiscent of the young Julian Weigl.
Top idea of the home grown.
Grade: 2

Leroy Sane
At first he seemed unfocused and noticed sloppy plays.
But then he worked his way into the game, which was also proven by a scene shortly before half-time: after a corner, the national player ran full sprint to his own baseline and thus thwarted the RB counterattack.
But beyond that he achieved little.
A poor performance.
Grade: 5
Thomas Müller
He stood out because of his aggressive approach, but hardly provided any impetus going forward.
It's not a problem at the moment, which is also proven by the statistics: the national player only recorded 33 ball contacts and hardly took part in the offensive game.
Pale idea.
Grade: 5
Jamal Musiala
He asserted himself several times in tight spaces and drew several RB defenders towards him with his dribbling, which created space for his offensive colleagues.
Sugar pass to Sané in the first half, who almost set up the lead.
Like recently in Bochum, one of the few bright spots.
Note 3
Harry Kane
Wasted a great chance in the 5th minute that Kane probably would have taken.
But then scored twice and finally gave FCB a very important victory with goals 26 and 27 this season.
A performance in the style of a top striker - even if he otherwise didn't attract much attention.
