Borussia Dortmund, despite the numerical shortage in its ranks.

Bayern entered the match on the back of its humiliating defeat in the middle of the week at Manchester City, England, by 3-0 in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the European Champions League, which makes it threatened to bid farewell to the continental championship, after it had also previously been knocked out of the quarter-finals of the cup competition by Freiburg, with a loss at home 1 -2 in his second test, led by his new coach, Thomas Tuchel.

Bayern lost, 4 matches after the dismissal of its former coach, Julian Nagelsmann, and the appointment of Tuchel, its bet on achieving the treble, as it is no longer within its reach except the “Bundesliga” title, unless it achieves a miracle return from afar on Wednesday when it hosts City at the “Allianz Arena” in the second leg.

It seems that Bayern's journey towards retaining the league title will not be easy at all, but it succeeded on Saturday, at least, in surviving against Dortmund, the loser against its Bavarian rivals 2-4 in the first match for the latter led by the former coach of the yellow and black team, Tuchel, benefiting from the fighting spirit of Stuttgart, who compensated for his backwardness.

Bayern finished the first half, ahead of a team, with a single goal scored by Frenchman Benjamin Pavard in the 17th minute, after a corner kick, after which the ball reached his compatriot Kingsley Coman, who tested his luck with a shot, but failed, and the ball reached Pavard, who followed it between the legs of goalkeeper Oliver Baumann.

The Bavarian club got wholesale opportunities to consolidate its lead in the second half, but did not invest it, to pay the price in the 71st minute, when Croatian Andrei Kramaric executed a wonderful free kick against Swiss goalkeeper Jan Sommer.

Pavar believed that he gave Bayern the lead again with his second personal goal in the match and the fifth this season, after he pounced on the ball following a header pass from Dutchman Matthijs de Ligt following a cross from Portuguese Joao Cancelo, but the referee canceled it for offside after resorting to “VAR” (73) .

In Stuttgart, it seemed that Dortmund would fully benefit from Bayern's draw with Hoffenheim coming to Munich on the back of three consecutive victories in its longest streak since August, thanks to its new American coach of Italian roots, Pellegrino "Rino" Matarazzo, by advancing with two goals from Ivory Coast, Sebastian Haller, after a cross.

But Frenchman Tanguy Coulibaly restored hope to the owner of the land by reducing the difference a few minutes after entering with a shot from outside the area (77), and then the return was completed when Joshua Vagnoman managed to equalize in the 84th minute after a corner kick.
Dortmund believed that he had decided the match when the American substitute, Giovanni Reina, who entered in the 82nd minute, succeeded in scoring the goal of progress 3-2, but the other Congolese substitute, Silas Katumba Mvumba, saved a point for the owner of the land after a cross from Vagnoman, raising his team’s balance to 24 points in the sixteenth place. Which qualifies its owner to play the supplement with the third of the second degree.

Dortmund coach Edin Terzic commented on this disappointing tie, saying that he was “unable to find words,” adding, “We thought we saw the stupidest thing this season after our late loss against Bremen at home (3-2, with three goals for the guests in the last seconds during the third stage in August). August).

It seems that Leipzig put behind him the bad stage that began with his humiliating loss against Manchester City 0-7 in the second leg of the Champions League final price, before he followed it with two falls in the local league, by achieving his third successive victory, the first of which was against Dortmund 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the cup, and came At the expense of its guest, Augsburg, with three goals for Slovenian Kevin Campbell (10) and Timo Werner (32 and 35), compared to two goals for Arne Meyer (5) and Swiss Robin Vargas (82).
