After 615 games with Bayern Munich, Muller shocked his fans!

The return of veteran striker Thomas Muller was not successful with Bayern Munich on Saturday, after he scored an own goal against his team and trapped him in a 1-1 draw against his guest Bayer Leverkusen, in the twenty-fifth stage of the German Football League.

This tie for the defending champion, who remained at the top of the standings with 59 points, comes just three days before his expected match against Austrian Salzburg in the second leg of the European Champions League on Tuesday (1-1 in the first leg).

For his part, Leverkusen came out with a valuable point from the "Allianz Arena", in which he remained in third place with 45 points, behind Borussia Dortmund (50), who will not play this week due to the presence of Covid-19 cases in the Mainz club, which he was supposed to face.

Leverkusen begins a crucial week, as it will also meet Italy's Atalanta in the first leg of the European League "Europa League" next Thursday, before playing against Cologne in the eighth league next Sunday.

The match was not enthusiastic at the beginning, until the hosts opened the scoring through defender Niklas Sole, who met a dispersal ball by a mistake from the Leverkusen defense and shot it directly into the net (18).

After 18 minutes of the Bavarians' goal, Leverkusen got a free kick on the right side, so Karam Demirbay turned it into the penalty area, and Muller tried to keep it away, but he converted it by mistake in his team's goal (36).

It is the first goal scored by Muller, an error in his team's goal during his career, after he played 615 games for the Bavarian team.

This is Muller's first match in more than two weeks, as he missed his team lineup due to being infected with the Corona virus for the second time.

After this goal, Leverkusen tried to kidnap the match on more than one occasion, but goalkeeper Sven Ulrich excelled in stopping several chances.

Attempts by both sides did not stop in the second half, including a solitary chance for Jamal Musila and a header for Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, but it did not change the outcome of the match.

Leipzig survives and remains fourth

On the other hand, Leipzig maintained its fourth position thanks to its Spanish player Angelino, who drew 1-1 against his guest Freiburg in the last breath.

The guests imposed their control over the majority of the match, and they were the two races to open the scoring through the Bosnian Ermidin Demirovic in the 38th minute

. While the match seemed destined to lose Leipzig, the Spaniard, the former left-back of Manchester City, emerged to equalize (90) and give his team a valuable point that kept him in the position Fourth on goal difference from Freiburg.

It is worth noting that RB Leipzig qualified for the quarter-finals of the "European League", after the European Football Association decided to exclude the Russian teams from its competitions, and therefore will not play its two home and away matches with Spartak Moscow.

Leipzig's survival in fourth place will depend on the result of Hoffenheim's match against Cologne on Sunday, in the first attempt to win and break into the qualifying places for the Champions League next season.

In another match, Union Berlin fell four points behind Leipzig and Freiburg, receiving its fourth loss in five Bundesliga matches, this time in front of and losing 1-0 to Wolfsburg 1-0, with an own goal scored by Nigerian Taiwo Owenyi in the twenty-fourth minute.

Hertha Berlin remained in the relegation zone after losing 4-1 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, while bottom club Grouter Fürth lost 2-1 to Bochum.

In the last matches of Saturday, Stuttgart, which is in the penultimate seventeenth place, defeated its guest, Borussia Moenchengladbach 3-2.
