Bayern Munich stand on the brink of securing their 34th Bundesliga title this Saturday. A victory against Mainz 05 at the Allianz Arena, coupled with Bayer Leverkusen failing to win against Augsburg, would mathematically crown Bayern as champions with three games to spare.
Under the guidance of coach Vincent Kompany, Bayern have maintained a focused approach, taking the season one game at a time.
Despite being eight points ahead with four games remaining, Kompany has downplayed title talk, reminding players of their earlier defeat to Mainz this season and the necessity of maintaining high motivation.
Key players such as Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala, and Dayot Upamecano are sidelined due to injuries, while Leon Goretzka, Manuel Neuer, and Thomas Müller are doubtful for the match.
Winning the title will be a good way to end what has been an eventful season. Bayern have been knocked out of the DFB Pokal and most recently, the UEFA Champions League with questions once again rising about Kompany’s ability to lead a team like Bayern.
This title will be a huge feat for the young manager who has faced doubts since the beginning of his time at Bayern. It also means that Harry Kane will finally get his hands on a trophy after fans have labelled him with the “Harry Kane curse” given Bayern’s failure to win a trophy in his first season. Winning this title will finally help him get the respect he deserves.
