Bayern absolutely dominated that second half vs. Real Madrid. Controlled possession, bided their time and frustrated Real. Camavinga's sending off a huge turning point, with Diaz and Olise netting superb late strikes.
PSG next as Kompany's charges march on..
Five goals between Bayern-Madrid from an xG of 2.68. Goalkeeping mistakes at both ends, but this second leg has been an absolute cracker.
It's all going on at the 2. Bundesliga summit, too.
Five teams are in the mix for promotion with Schalke leading the pack, but who are the other contenders?
The 2. Bundesliga promises to be exciting, as ever.
Werder #Bremen have won three of their last four games under Daniel Thioune to put a seven point gap between themselves and 17th-placed Wolfsburg.
Is he the man to secure their top flight status?

One-way traffic between Atalanta and Bayern. Kompany's side have been in complete control without needing to get out of second gear (or play Harry Kane).
🔴⚫⚪ Sabrina Wittmann is the only female head coach in German men's professional football.
Speaking in a media round table, she addressed what it is like being a woman coaching in men's football.

I'm seriously impressed by Mateusz Zukowski in the 2. Bundesliga this season and after a bit of digging, I'm only now realising it's the former Rangers player. He started out at RB before switching to an attacking position at Śląsk Wrocław last season. Now has 11 in 11 for Magdeburg at ST.
Werder Bremen have cancelled their US tour for this summer, citing ICE action in Minneapolis as “not fitting the values” of the club.
Via @sebsb.bsky.social at the Athletic:
Another assist for Julian Ryerson, another goal for Serhou Guirassy. They're picking up momentum at a pivotal time in their season without having to really get out of second gear tonight. Placed themselves in an excellent to advance, but next week in Bergamo will be tough. Next up though, Leipzig.
🆕 It's a potentially season-defining period for Borussia Dortmund as they face four crucial fixtures, starting tonight vs Atalanta.
As BVB gather pace, I looked at the next fortnight ahead of key Bundesliga and Champions League showdowns.
✍️ for Bundesliga.com.
Guirassy continues his purple patch in front of goal, netting 5 goals in his last 3 Bundesliga games. Commanding performance from Dortmund against an improving Mainz to move to within 3 points of Bayern, who play tomorrow. Title race, on?
I for one am very intrigued just to see how well Riera does.
PLAYER RATINGS | Hamburg 2-2 Bayern Munich
HSV gain a vital point in the fight to avoid relegation with a strong performance against Bayern.
✍️ @jackmeenan.bsky.social
Hamburg 2-2 Bayern, what a game. How good is Luka Vuskovic? Monstrous defensive display and dangerous in attack. They matched Bayern tonight. Just two defeats in 10 at home this season. That point could be crucial come May.
*Taps sign*
One for the Tottenham fans: we've looked at Luka Vušković's season so far at Hamburg. (Spoiler: He's one of the Bundesliga's best defenders).

Can't say Toppmöller's time wasn't coming. Frankfurt needed to react. It's a shame, because he's done some great stuff at SGE.
Also great to see Musiala grace a football pitch again.
And that is a prime example of why you need to take your chances. Although I'm not sure it would have mattered regardless with Bayern's second half performance. Truly phenomenal stuff.
Leipzig really taking the game to Bayern here, but I hope they don't rue their missed chances. Their attacking quartet: Baumgartner, Diomande, Nusa and Romulo causing all kinds of problems at the back.
Hoffenheim have just taken the lead through Wouter Burger. Win today and TSG win six in a row at home. I have to say, their transformation under Ilzer in comparison to last season is tenfold. They're well on a European charge.
Manchester United have been excellent this afternoon.
Just to make Bayern Munich even better this season..
Frankfurt-born Younes Ebnoutalib (22) was playing in Germany's fourth tier with Gießen a little over a year ago..
Scoring a superb equaliser against Dortmund isn't a bad way to announce yourself in the Bundesliga.
Interestingly, he grew up learning taekwondo.
🆕 I looked at how Frankfurt & Dortmund compare, for Bundesliga.com.
I'm stoked for tonight's game, should be a cracker.
