In the focal match of Bundesliga’s 32nd round, Bayern Munich embarked on a journey to the Mercedes-Benz Arena to face Stuttgart.

Both teams started actively, with each having promising opportunities to open the scoreline. In fact, in the early minutes of the match, the home team had more chances than Bayern Munich.

In the 10th minute, Chris Fuhrich of Stuttgart received the ball in a very comfortable position just outside the penalty area, unleashing a powerful shot towards the bottom right corner of the goal, but Manuel Neuer made an excellent save to protect the net of the Bavarians.

Not giving up, the hosts continued to push forward. In the 29th minute of the match, starting from a throw-in situation, striker Deniz Undav made a clever pass for Leonidas Stergiou to easily flick the ball over goalkeeper Manuel Neuer’s head, thus breaking the deadlock for Stuttgart.

Trailing behind, Bayern Munich launched relentless counterattacks. Just six minutes later, midfielder Waldemar Anton was penalized after a fierce ball dispute with an opponent. The referee blew the whistle after a chaotic situation in the penalty area, awarding Bayern Munich a penalty kick.

Not wasting the chance, Harry Kane struck a powerful shot to beat goalkeeper Alexander Nubel, thus scoring the equalizer and bringing the match back to balance.

Stuttgart crushed Bayern in a day when their attack continuously shined.

Moving into the second half, the attacking situations of both teams became less sharp. With the match seemingly heading for a 1-1 draw, a surprise occurred in the 83rd minute. Silas executed a beautiful cross into the penalty area, where substitute striker Jeong Woo-yeong was waiting. He rose high and headed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, beating the Bayern Munich goalkeeper. Once again, the home team took the lead 2-1.

Bayern Munich’s hopes were completely dashed when, in injury time, Serhou Guirassy assisted Silas, who then struck a shot from the edge of the penalty area, placing the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, increasing Stuttgart’s lead to 3-1.

The match ended, and Tuchel’s troops left the Mercedes-Benz Arena without earning any points.

Although the Bundesliga champions had been determined in previous rounds, this defeat will significantly affect Bayern. With just a few days until their journey to the Santiago Bernabeu to face Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals 2023/24, Bayern Munich players and fans will have some concerns after losing to Stuttgart.
