Leroy Sané's 83rd-minute goal proved looked like it would prove decisive on Saturday, but Yussuf Poulsen's equalizer meant Bayern was forced to wait until Sunday. -Bayern Munich has been crowned Bundesliga champion for a record-extending 33rd time with two games remaining after its closest title rival Bayer Leverkusen drew a 2-2 tie against SC Freiburg on Sunday afternoon. Down 2-1 in extra time, Bayer Leverkusen's Jonathan Tah leveled the game on a flicked header which found the far bottom corner at Europa-Park Stadion. But the dramatic equalizer was not enough to deprive Munich of yet another Bundesliga trophy. Advertisement Bayern was on the verge of claiming the title on Saturday after goals from Eric Dier, Michael Olise and Leroy Sané powered Vincent Kompany's team to a remarkable comeback against RB Leipzig, which had led 2-0 at halftime. But the celebrations had to be delayed when Leipzig forward Yussuf Poulsen equalized in the fourth minute of second-half injury time.

Kompany has impressed domestically in his first year since joining from English club Burnley, with Bayern having sat top of the league since the third week of the season.
