We’ve gone and won the league!
Match Information
Location: Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany
Kickoff: 3:30 PM Local time, 9:30 AM PDT, 6:30 AM EDT
Bayern Munich is officially champions of the Bundesliga following Bayer Leverkusen’s draw with Freiburg, which means Bayern’s gap to Leverkusen can’t be caught. For the first time in a while, the Bavarians will celebrate the trophy at the Allianz Arena which happens to be Thomas Müller’s and Eric Dier’s final home game with the club (Dier has signed for Monaco). The two of them, along with Harry Kane, will celebrate some firsts and lasts in terms of individual accomplishments.
Team news
At this point, it’s about getting rhythm in for the FIFA Club World Cup which begins next month but at the same time trying to avoid complacency. All absentees at this point are unlikely to play for the last league game of the season and will race against time to be fit for the CWC.
Jonas Urbig starts in goal, with a makeshift defense of Konrad Laimer, Eric Dier, Josip Stanisic, and Sacha Boey in front of him. Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović partner in midfield, while Michael Olise, Thomas Müller (in his final home match), and Kingsley Coman sit behind Harry Kane.
