(RB Leipzig-Bayern Munich 0-1) Bayern Munich are on their way to their ninth consecutive league gold after a 1-0 win over RB Leipzig on Saturday.
Norway’s hero of the Montenegro match, Alexander Sørloth, came in in the 73rd minute for RB Leipzig but never managed to create anything.
One of the best footballers in the world, goal guarantor Robert Lewandowski, will be out for four weeks, but that doesn’t stop the southern German team.
– Now they are celebrating the league championship. Now they will focus on the Champions League. This is a team that knows that spring is what applies to a club like Bayern Munich, says Jan Åge Fjørtoft in the Viaplay broadcast.
The Germans play their first quarter-final match against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
It was a six-point match, but it’s not over, claims former PSG player Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who played the role of Lewandowski on Saturday.
Leon Goretzka (26) put Bayern Munich ahead after 38 minutes of play when Thomas Müller (31) put a perfect 45 degrees behind the dead line. Goretzka thundered the ball past goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi.

– Think of a scandal that is not in the selection, continues Fjørtoft.
RB Leipzig pushed hard for the equalizer in the first quarter of the second half, but Bayern managed to resist.

Both Danish Yussuf Poulsen and Alexander Sørloth were substituted to chase the equalizer in the fourth quarter. Marcel Sabitzer made a magnificent effort on goal. Poulsen had to go out again when he suffered what looked like a stretch.
– Normally, Bayern win the championship. We have to win our matches to take second place, says RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann in an interview shown on Viaplay.
Bayern Munich currently have 30 league titles. The club has more than 44 goals now. They have 79 incredible goals so far this season.
They are now seven points away from leading Bayern with 64 points to RB Leipzig in second place with 57 points.
