Leipzig in the Champions League after the last day, Stuttgart escapes in added time

No victory for Bayern on this 34th and last day of the Bundesliga. Lucas Hernandez’s teammates shared the points this Saturday afternoon on the lawn of VfL Wolfsburg (2-2), despite Robert Lewandowski’s 35th goal in the top flight this season. For his last match in the jersey of Borussia Dortmund, Erling Haaland scored a 62nd goal for the Yellow-and-Black, from the penalty spot against Hertha Berlin (2-1).

The sensation of the day comes from Stuttgart, where the VfB ensured its maintenance, in extremis and in a crazy final, thanks to a goal from its Japanese midfielder Wataru Endo in stoppage time, against FC Cologne (2- 1). The Hertha will have to go through the dams in order not to go down. Leipzig will play for its part in the Champions League despite a sluggish draw in Bielefeld (1-1), relegated.

RB Leipzig recover 4th place, Haaland scores for his last game

Mission accomplished for the men of Domenico Tedesco. Christopher Nkunku’s teammates consolidated their 4th place in pain on the lawn of Arminia Bielefeld, thanks to a late goal from their captain Willi Orban in stoppage time (90th + 3). They will accompany next season in the Champions League Bayer Leverkusen, winner of Freiburg (2-1) and Borussia Dortmund, who beat Hertha Berlin with a goal from the penalty spot by Erling Haaland and a goal from young Youssoufa Moukoko at the end meeting. The Norwegian striker, celebrated by his audience before the meeting should, barring a huge turnaround, join Manchester City this summer.

Robert Lewandowski, also starting according to his sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić, also scored: his 35th goal in 34 Bundesliga matches this season did not allow champions Bayern Munich to win at Wolfsburg (2- 2).

VfB Stuttgart can thank Endo

The men of Pellegrino Matarazzo are the miracles of this last day. Play-offs before the game, the Stuttgart players had won only two games in 2022. Held in check for half an hour of play by FC Cologne, VfB only owe their salvation to a headed goal scored by his Japanese international midfielder Wataru Endo in added time (2-1, 90th + 2). Greuther Fürth, beaten in Augsburg (2-1) and Arminia Bielefeld are not so lucky: they are relegated directly to the second division.

As for Hertha Berlin (16th), this late goal from VfB Stuttgart sends the Berliners into a play-off on goal difference. The first leg is held on Wednesday, against HSV Hamburg or SV Darmstadt.
