Bayern Munich, who are currently leading the Bundesliga, faced a major setback as they lost 3-1 in their away match against Mainz on Saturday.
This unexpected defeat has opened the door for Borussia Dortmund to take over the top spot in the standings if they win their game against Eintracht Frankfurt later in the day.
Dortmund needs only one victory to surpass Bayern and become the new leaders of the league, with just five matches remaining in the season.
In the first half, Mainz was trailing 1-0 after Sadio Mane scored his first goal in six months, but in the second half, Mainz made a remarkable comeback with three goals from Ludovic Ajorque, Leandro Barreiro, and Aaron Martin. This defeat is a significant blow for Bayern’s title defense, and it has certainly made the title race more exciting and unpredictable.
Meanwhile, Tuchel has already equaled Nagelsmann’s record for the number of losses as the coach of Bayern Munich this season.
