Before the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, Bayern's opponents Lazio Rome received three red cards in their duel with AC Milan.
Rome – After the Bundesliga is before the Champions League.
Thanks to the draw in Freiburg, FC Bayern Munich can finally wrap up the German championship.
The only possible title would then be the Champions League.
In the first leg of the round of 16, Tuchel's team suffered a 0-1 defeat.
Before the second leg, however, opponents Lazio Rome showed an inglorious performance in Serie A.

The club from the Italian capital also had to play on Friday evening and hosted AC Milan.
In the Serie A table, Lazio is currently outside the European Cup places and urgently needs victories in order to be able to compete internationally next season.
However, there was a 0-1 defeat against Milan, which attacker Noah Okafor sealed with his goal shortly before the end.
At this point the Romans were down to ten men as former Eintracht professional Luca Pellegrini had to leave the field with a yellow-red card.
Because his teammate Castellanos was injured on the ground, the full-back stopped playing, Pulisic then stole the ball from him and was knocked over by Pellegrini.
The Italian then collected the traffic light card.

The hosts kept the score 0-0 for a long time with one man less.
After it hit their own box shortly before the final whistle, the Lazio professionals' fuses blew.
Adam Marusic was whistled for a foul in stoppage time and shouted a few words to the referee as he ran back.
The referee didn't hesitate for a moment and showed the defender red for insulting the referee.

But that shouldn't have been the case in an extremely heated game.
Just a few moments later, Pulisic committed a tactical foul on Matteo Guendouzi, who then grabbed the American and pushed him over.
Referee Marco di Bello had no choice but to send the midfielder to take a shower early.
