Bayern Munich’s Victory Over Cologne Delays Leverkusen’s Bundesliga Title Celebration

Bayern Munich secured a 2-0 victory against Cologne, with Raphael Guerreiro delivering a stunning second-half goal and Thomas Mueller sealing the win late in the match.

This result has postponed Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title celebration to Sunday at the earliest.

The defending champions, Bayern Munich, needed just one point to prevent conceding the title.

Despite a frustrating first half where England captain Harry Kane and Mathys Tel both hit the post, they managed to secure the win.

Guerreiro’s powerful strike from 25 yards, following a corner by Joshua Kimmich, broke the deadlock in the 65th minute. Muller added a late second goal during stoppage time.

Bayer Leverkusen, led by manager Xabi Alonso, remains on course for a remarkable treble this season.

They have already set up a German Cup final against second-tier side Kaiserslautern and won the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final against West Ham 2-0.

Leverkusen will be crowned German champions for the first time if they secure victory over Werder Bremen on Sunday.

Bayern Munich’s impressive streak of 11 consecutive Bundesliga titles since Borussia Dortmund’s triumph in 2011-12 is now under threat as Leverkusen inches closer to the title.
