Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga clash with Borussia Monchengladbach from the Allianz Arena. Bayern could have been set to claim their 30th league title and their 29th in the Bundesliga era if they were to win this match AND Dortmund were to lose lose at Fortuna Dusseldorf, but it was not meant to be, with Dortmund snatching that last-gasp winner just moments ago. Gladbach lost 1-0 at SC Freiburg in the most recent matchround but have not lost consecutive Bundesliga fixtures since April 2019.

Lars Stindl picks out Herrmann, who shapes to shoot, but elects to pull the ball back, only to see his pass cut out.
Embolo drives down the left and delivers a teasing ball towards Neuhaus in the centre, but Bayern crowd the midfielder out before he can get an effort away.
Who'd be a goalkeeper?
Nice football again from Gladbach, but again the offside flag denies them.
Embolo tries to shake Alaba, but cannot get on the end of the pass.
The future is bright, if he keeps getting gifts like that.
Ah the life of a goalkeeper. Minutes after making a worldie of a save, Sommer inexplicably passes across his goal, straight to Zirkzee, who fires into the empty net. An awful mistake, just when Gladbach were on top.
GOOOOOAAALLLLL!!! Bayern 1-0 Gladbach. A howler from Sommer gifts the opener to Zirkzee.
Goal
J. Zirkzee
WHAT A MISS! Incredible scenes here! Wonderful cross from the right lands on the head of Embolo, who heads down, but Neuer blocks with his feet. The rebound comes back to Embolo, a yard out, but he slices wide!
Really open game this. Gladbach are not here for the point!
WHAT A SAVE! Defensive mix up puts it on a plate for Lucas Hernandez, in the centre of the goal, eight yards out, but Yann Sommer reads it, goes down early to his right and makes a remarkable save.
My word do they need him back, fast.
Hofmann again makes the run, again he is just offside.
That lovely move has revitalised Gladbach, who are looking the better side at the moment.
NO GOAL! Jonas Hofmann slides the ball past Manuel Neuer to give his side a shock lead.... BUT NO! VAR intervenes, very swiftly, and gives Hofmann offside. Very tight indeed.
Bayern rally starting to turn the screw here. The writing appears to be on the wall for Gladbach...
CLOSE! What a story that would have been against his former club, but after arriving right on cue to volley Ivan Perisic's chest down for goal on the edge of the box, Michael Cuisance lashes just over.
BIG BLOW! Thuram's game is over prematurely, as he limps off to be replaced by Breel Embolo.
On
B. Embolo
Off
M. Thuram
Lovely, one touch move almost sets Gnabry through, but there is just too much on the final pass.
Long ball into Serge Gnabry is immaculately controlled, but the clipped pass into Joshua Zirkzee is overhit.
Bayern have settled now and are enjoying more of the ball.
