Bayern's Bundesliga title celebrations postponed after last-gasp Leipzig draw
BerlincTypeface:> Yussuf Poulsen struck with the last kick of the game to spoil Bayern Munich's official Bundesliga title celebrations for at least 24 hours in a 3-3 draw at RB Leipzig on Saturday. Leipzig's Poulsen scored five minutes into stoppage time after Bayern had overturned a two goal deficit and seemed heading towards the title from Eric Dier in the 62nd, Michael Olise in the 63rd and Leroy Sane in the 83rd. Leipzig had led from Benjamin Sesko in the 12th and Lukas Klostermann in the 39th against a Bayern side who were without their suspended star striker Harry Kane on a rainy afternoon. Kane had already left the stands and was pitch-side ready to celebrate a first ever title when Poulsen struck. (dpa)

Goretzka, Wirtz to start for Germany vs Portugal
dpa Munich Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has decided on nine of the starting XI for the Nations League semi-final against Portugal on Wednesday, but has not told all his players yet. 'If they've been paying attention in training, they know if they'll play,' Nagelsmann told a news conference at Munich's Allianz Arena on Tuesday. Four names are certainly in the line-up. Captain Joshua Kimmich will be making his 100th cap, goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen is returning after a long injury break and midfielder Leon Goretzka will start. 'I've been paying attention,' the Bayern Munich man smirked at the news conference. Florian Wirtz will also play despite a transfer saga involving current club Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool. Nagelsmann said: 'I don't think that it is weighing on him. It's quite normal to have one or two thoughts.' Forward Nick Woltemade, given a first call-up to the squad after a strong season for VfB Stuttgart, has made a good impression in training but Nagelsmann stopped short of confirming he will start. Germany are back in a semi-final for the first time in eight years. Their last title was at the 2017 Confederations Cup in Russia. 'When you take part in a competition, my mindset is that you want to win it,' Goretzka said of the Nations League, Europe's secondary national competition. Spain meet France in the other semi in Stuttgart on Thursday. Sunday's final is in Munich.

Brentford agree potential £18 mn deal for Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher
LondoncTypeface:> Brentford have agreed a deal with Liverpool to sign Caoimhín Kelleher for a deal worth up to £18 million ($24.24 million), the PA news agency understands. A reported initial fee of £12.5m for the second-choice Liverpool goalkeeper can rise to £18m if performance-related requirements are met. Ireland's Kelleher, who has a year left on his contract at Anfield, played over a quarter of the champions' Premier League matches this season when first-choice Alisson Becker was injured. His move away from the Merseyside club has been heavily reported, with Giorgi Mamardashvili joining the club in July after Liverpool confirmed the signature of the Valencia keeper last summer. Kelleher's switch to west London comes with 31-year-old Bees keeper Mark Flekken set to join Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen. The transfer is the first of what is set to be a busy window at Gtech Community Stadium, with 20-goal winger Bryan Mbuemo expected to leave the club. (PA Media/dpa)

Bundesliga club Werder Bremen sign Horst Steffen as new coach
Berlin: Werder Bremen have signed Horst Steffen as their new coach, the Bundesliga club said in a statement on Thursday. Steffen will replace Ole Werner, who parted ways with Bremen after opting not to sign a new deal amid frictions with the board. 'Horst's expertise and personality impressed us during our conversations. He's done some incredible work at Elversberg over the last seven years. Horst plays an attacking and attractive brand of football and leads a team extremely well,' managing director of professional football Clemens Fritz said. This season, Steffen guided tiny Elversberg to third in the second tier with a vibrant brand of attacking football. They narrowly missed out on promotion to the Bundesliga when they conceded in stoppage time in the play-off with Heidenheim on Monday. 'The fact that Werder got in touch with me was first of all recognition for myself and my work,' Steffen said. Bremen finished eighth in the Bundesliga season just finished. Details of the contract were not disclosed, but according to media reports, the coach signed a deal until 2028 and Elversberg are to receive compensation between 300,000 euros ($340,590) and 350,000 euros.
