Bayern 30th championship, Barcelona dry victory and Ze Luis unbeaten penalty: European football events of the day

31st ball of Lewandowski and the departure of "Paderborn"

After the victory over the Dortmund Borussia in late May, it became almost obvious that Bayern will become the champion of Germany for the eighth time in a row. The intrigue was only how many misfires by the end of the season the Munich team will allow and when they guarantee themselves the title.

As a result, the Hans-Dieter Flick wards so far dispensed with spectacle losses and became unattainable for rivals two rounds before the finish. At the same time, the Werder Bremen fighting for survival did everything to stop the favorite. Bremen actively started the game and even created a couple of dangerous moments at the opponent’s goal. The owners of their own free kick acted reliably.

However, at the end of the first half, the guests still caught the opponent by mistake. Robert Lewandowski after throwing from Jerome Boateng with one touch handled the ball near someone else's goal, and the second - sent it to the net.

This goal became the 31st for the Pole in the current Bundesliga draw. He repeated the achievement of Pierre-Emerick Obameyang, who in the 2016/17 season set a record for performance in a single season of the German championship for legionnaires. Only the Germans scored more: Dieter Müller (34) and Gerd Müller (36, 38 and 40).

In the second half, Lewandowski managed to take a double after the transfer of Thomas Muller, but the referee canceled the goal because of an offside position for the midfielder. And in the end, Bayern remained in the minority after Alfonso Davis received a second yellow card.

In unequal compositions, “Werder Bremen” almost recouped. In the 90th minute, Manuel Neuer parried a flying ball into the far corner after a header from Yuya Osako.

So “Bavaria” for the 30th time in history became the champion of Germany. The first trophy came in 1932, even before the creation of the Bundesliga, and after the appearance of the tournament in 1963, the Munich team won it 29 times, while the rest of the clubs collected 28 titles at all.

Bavaria midfielder Kingsley Coman also recorded another trophy on his track record, who at the age of 24 won the eighth club championship. This title was his fifth in Germany, and before that he had won Serie A with Juventus and twice in French Ligue 1 with PSG. 

Also on Tuesday evening, the first team decided to leave the Bundesliga at the end of the season - Paderborn. The defeat on the road from the Union with a minimum score did not leave Steffen Baumgart's wards a chance of salvation. For two rounds to the finish line, they are eight points behind Werder Bremen and Fortune and do not even have a mathematical chance of getting into butt games.

In another match of the game of the day, the Borussia Mönchengladbach’s fighting for a ticket to the Champions League defeated Wolfsburg - 3-0, despite the loss due to injuries of the team’s two top scorers - Alassan Plea and Mark Thuram.

In their absence, midfielder Jonas Hoffman posed the greatest threat to the wrong goal. Infrequently scoring a football player by the 30th minute scored a double, which was his first in the Bundesliga.

After the break, Lars Stindl brought the score to a major one. He chalked up the seventh ball of the season. “Borussia” interrupted a series of two defeats in a row and took an intermediate fourth place in the table.

Another team, fighting for a ticket to the European competition - Freiburg - won. The team of Christian Streich at home was stronger than Hertha - 2: 1. All goals scored fit in the 11-minute period in the second half. Vincenzo Grifo managed to open an account with a perfect free kick.

Guests quickly earned a penalty and recouped. But the real anti-hero in their composition was Vladimir Darida. After passing the goalkeeper, he handled the ball unsuccessfully and allowed himself to be robbed by Nils Petersen, who took the chance. At the same time, due to a foul of the same Darida, the beautiful ball of Dodi Lukebakio was canceled at the beginning of the second half.

The return of the “Army” to the Bundesliga after 11 years and the misfire of the “Hamburg” 

Meanwhile, in the second Bundesliga, “Arminia” became the first team to secure a promotion in the classroom. The team from Bielefeld became inaccessible after the “Hamburg” unexpectedly tied with an outsider of the tournament “Osnabruck” - 1: 1. Two rounds before the finish line the team shares seven points, and “Arminia” has a meeting in reserve.

Thus, the team from Bielefeld returned to the German football elite after 11 years. After the departure from the Bundesliga, “Arminia” went through a difficult period and even spent several years in the country's third most powerful division. However, this season the Bielefelders rightfully achieved a promotion in the class: they won the most victories (16) and suffered only two defeats, and they also have the best ratio in terms of the number of goals scored and goals conceded (58–27).

But the misfire of “Hamburg” to the limit intensified the struggle for a second direct ticket to the Bundesliga. At a distance of two points from the team are “Stuttgart” and “Heidenheim”, and the Stuttgart have a match in reserve. It is worth adding that the third-place team will play butt games with the 16th Bundesliga team.

Messi's 699th ball and another goal of 17-year-old Faty

Leading in the championship of Spain, “Barcelona” won a second victory in a row after the resumption of the season. This time, the Catalans at home were stronger than the modest Leganes - 2-0. The guests kept their gates intact almost until the break, but in the 42nd minute the account was opened by the 17-year-old prodigy “Barca” Ansumane Fati.

The young striker entered the field in the starting lineup of the team for the first time since February and seized the chance. After the Junior Firpo discount, he struck from the penalty bottom line into the far corner. This ball for Fati is the sixth in 25 matches of the current season in all tournaments.

Lionel Messi did not leave the field without effective action. In the middle of the second half, the leader of the Catalans earned a penalty and he realized it. This goal was for the Argentine 21st in the current draw Examples and 699th in his career. The next one will be jubilee.

But Antoine Griezmann again failed to distinguish himself. In 2020, he only scored once in the Example. Shortly before the Messi goal, the Frenchman hit the Leganes goal, but the judges after watching the replay canceled the goal because of an offside position with Nelson Semeda.

The second victory in a row after the resumption of the season was won by Villarreal. In the last round, the wards of Javier Reviglia Calleja defeated Celta with a minimum score, and in this defeated another outsider, Mallorca. Thus, they rendered serious help to the team of Fedor Smolov.

Three points “Villarreal” brought 33-year-old veteran Carlos Bakka. An experienced Colombian only for the fifth time this season, Examples got a place in the starting lineup and in the 16th minute he scored the only goal. A striker with a meter closed the transmission to Sam Chukweza.

At the same time, “Mallorca” could well hit someone else's gate. But Iddrisu Baba hit the crossbar twice, and the goalkeeper of the hosts Sergio Asenho made four saves, having spent the eighth match to zero in the championship of Spain.

And in the suburbs of Madrid at the stadium "Coliseum Alfonso Perez" met former rivals of Russian clubs in the group stage of the Europa League. Outsider Examples Espanyol managed to take points from Getafe, who is fighting for getting into the Champions League - 0: 0.

The fifth-ranking team failed to hit the opponent’s goal, although from the 16th minute he acted in the minority after the removal of Bernardo Espinosa. The defender hit the opponent with a hand in the face, for which he received a direct red card.

The most obvious chance to snatch the Getafe victory was missed in time added by the referee. Goalkeeper Espanyola Diego Lopez made an incredible double save and helped his team score points.   

Sensational misfire of Porto and 22 shots on goal of an outsider

The Portuguese championship after the resumption of the season gives fans a sensation after a sensation. The main contenders for the title of “Porto” and “Benfica” regularly lose points. So, in the 27th round, “Porto” failed to beat the last team of Primera “Aves” on departure. Before the match, it seemed that the hosts had no chance, because in the previous 26 matches of the season they scored only 13 points and won only four victories.

However, the leader did not succeed in hitting the outsider’s gates tonight. Guests did not even manage to realize a penalty. In the middle of the first half, the favorite earned a penalty, which went to See Luis. However, the shot of the ex-striker Spartak from the “point” was parried by goalkeeper Fabio. Thus, the forward extended the goalless series in Primera to ten meetings.

In the reporting game, “Porto” owned the ball 70% of the time, delivered 22 shots on goal of the opponent, but could not realize the advantage. “Avesh” in 90 minutes did not hit the target on target. Thus, “Benfica” can already on Wednesday catch up with the leader in case of victory over the “Rio Ave”.
