Bayern Munich sent a clear message in the Bundesliga title race, dismantling Heidenheim 4-0 on Saturday and moving within reach of their 34th German championship. After a midweek Champions League exit, Bayern wasted no time asserting dominance, with Harry Kane opening the scoring in the 13th minute. Konrad Laimer and Kingsley Coman added two more before halftime, leaving Heidenheim with little hope. Joshua Kimmich sealed the rout early in the second half.
The victory puts Bayern nine points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen, who have a game in hand. With just four rounds left, Bayern could secure the title as early as next week if results go their way. Kane’s goal marked his 24th in the league this season, and he now boasts goals in his first Bundesliga games.
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig’s push for a Champions League spot stumbled after a 1-1 home draw against bottom club Holstein Kiel. Leipzig needed a late penalty from Benjamin Sesko to salvage a point, putting their top-four hopes under pressure as the season nears its climax.
Bayern’s emphatic win and Leipzig’s slip have set the stage for a dramatic Bundesliga finish. Will Bayern clinch the title next week, and can Leipzig recover in the race for Europe?
