Bayern's last-gasp Bundesliga title win follows a season of controversy and turmoil -
The title fight went down to the final seconds as Bayern scored an 89th-minute goal to beat Cologne and Borussia Dortmund fell just short of victory in its 2-2 draw with Mainz. The champion was decided on goal difference.After selling Erling Haaland to Manchester City, Dortmund signed the experienced Sébastien Haller as its new star striker. Weeks after he joined the club in July, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Signed as an emergency replacement while Haller was undergoing cancer treatment, experienced forward Anthony Modeste was largely disappointing at Dortmund, except for one crucial game. In the first Bundesliga “Klassiker” against Bayern in October, the French forward came off the bench for the final 20 minutes with Dortmund 2-0 down and set up Youssoufa Moukoko to make it 2-1 before leveling the score with a header in the fifth minute of added time.
