After the triple of the championship, cup and Champions League, as well as the European Super Cup and now the next national trophy, individual honors are due on Thursday. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, striker Robert Lewandowski and coach Hansi Flick can all hope that freestyle is the best in Europe.

BVB held up well for the last time after heavy losses on Wednesday without a crowd, initially even holding minimal advantages.

BVB is back in the game

A sloppy pass from Benjamin Pavard brought BVB back into play. This time Haaland acted as preparer, Brandt as executor. A Lewandowski fumble then meant equalization: former Salzburg Haaland shot an ice cream cone.

Bayern, for whom ÖFB star David Alaba was just a replacement, looked more tired from then on. But a fumble by Thomas Delaney sealed Bayern’s triumph. Kimmich used his own margin with an artistic contribution in the fall.
