Chapter 319: Five Miracles
After the 33rd round of the league, the Munich media began to hype up the topic called "the last round of the Bundesliga five miracles".
They hype up for good reason, because two of the five last-round miracles were created by Bayern Munich. So in fact, to put it bluntly, it is paving the way for Bayern Munich to create a miracle for the third time.
In fact, the most classic turnaround miracle of the Bundesliga is the last round of the Bundesliga in the 2000-2001 season, but it has nothing to do with the last round of turnaround.
Because Bayern Munich had always been the league leader at that time.
Before the final round, Bayern Munich had 62 points, Schalke 04 had 59 points, ranking second, and Schalke 04 actually only had the possibility of a theoretical comeback. It's pretty much the same as it is today.
In the final round, Schalke 04 hosted Unterhachen, while Bayern Munich took on Hamburg away. Schalke 04 The game has long been out of suspense, defeating Unterhachen 5:3, and Bayern Munich is almost over or 0:0, but Bayern Munich can accept this draw, everyone has the same points in the draw, but Bayern Munich has an advantage in goal difference and can still win the championship.
As a result, in the 89th minute, Hamburg's Barbarets scored a goal to lead Bayern Munich 1-0.
At that time, Schalke 04 was thunderous, expecting a miracle to be born.
As a result, in the last seconds of stoppage time, Bayern Munich defender Anderson's indirect free-kick scored to help Bayern Munich equalize 1-1.
At that time, Bayern Munich was naturally ecstatic, while Schalke 04 was silent in the stadium.
In the end, Bayern Munich won the league title that season with 63 points thanks to Anderson's goal, while Schalke 04 could only settle for second place.
This is where the famous Schalke 04 "Bundesliga winner in four minutes" comes from.
That was also the closest Schalke 04 has come to the Bundesliga title since the beginning of the new century.
The Munich media did not help everyone recall this turnaround, because this turnaround is unlucky for Bayern Munich today - that time it was the leaders who finally had a thrilling success in winning the championship, and the second place in the league once saw the dawn of a miracle, but it still fell short, and only made the league championship for four minutes.
And the current situation, the first place in the league is not Bayern Munich, it is Dortmund, and Bayern Munich has become the second in the league that is not very auspicious.
If you relive this game, doesn't it mean that Bayern Munich will win the league for four minutes at most, and in the end it will still be snatched away by Borussia Dortmund, who are the first in the league?
So the Munich media automatically ignored this most classic championship drama.
However, the miracle of the last round of the comeback for the first time in the history of the Bundesliga was also related to Bayern Munich, but they played the role of losers at the time.
In the 1970-1971 season, Bayern Munich were still leaders in the 33rd round of the league, although they had only one goal difference more than Borussia Mönchengladbach, who were level on points. In the final round, Bayern Munich challenged Duisburg away and lost 0:2, while Borussia Mönchengladbach defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 4:1 to complete the comeback in the final round and become the league champion. And Bayern Munich thus began the "history of humiliation" suppressed by Borussia Mönchengladbach in the seventies.
The second time was the 1985-1986 season, which was still related to Bayern Munich, but this time Bayern Munich was no longer a tragic character. In the 33rd round of the league, Werder Bremen was still two points ahead of Bayern Munich, but in the last round, Werder Bremen lost 1:2 to Stuttgart, and Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 6:0 and overtook the top as expected. Werder Bremen, on the other hand, missed out on their second league title.
The third time was in the 1991-1992 season, when the Bundesliga was expanded to 20 teams and the league was increased to 38 rounds due to the addition of several East German teams. In the 37th round, Eintracht Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund are tied on points, with Eintracht Frankfurt topping the table on goal difference. In the final round, Eintracht Frankfurt lost to Rostock, relinquishing the top spot in the league table. Stuttgart, meanwhile, and Borussia Dortmund beat Bayer Leverkusen and Duisburg respectively, with Stuttgart winning the league title by virtue of goal difference.
The fourth time occurred in 1995, this time with Bayern Munich, but Bayern Munich was not a title contender, but a-stirring stick. In the 1994-1995 season, the 33rd round of the league ended, and Werder Bremen was one point ahead of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table. In the final round, Werder Bremen took on Bayern Munich away and Borussia Dortmund faced Hamburg at home. Bayern Munich were already out of the league title, but they beat Werder Bremen 3-1 at their home stadium, and Borussia Dortmund beat Hamburg 2-0 at home, so that with the help of Bayern Munich, Dortmund overtook Werder Bremen to win the league title.
The fifth was in the 1999-2000 season, when Bayer Leverkusen was in their prime, and their goal was to win the league title. After 33 rounds of league play, Bayer Leverkusen are three points ahead of Bayern Munich and top of the table, and their final round opponent is the fish belly side Unterhachen, Bayern Munich really have only a theoretical hope of winning the title.
The result is so secure...... In the game, Bayer Leverkusen's midfield core Ballack unexpectedly set himself up for an own goal, which ultimately led to a 0:2 defeat for the team. Meanwhile, at the Olympic Stadium in Munich, just kilometres from Unterhachen's home stadium, Bayern Munich beat Werder Bremen 3-1 to tie Bayer Leverkusen's points and win the title with a seven-goal difference.
Five big turnovers, Bayern Munich participated in direct competition three times, and twice had the last laugh.
The Munich media want to cheer Bayern Munich on their historic achievements.
At the same time, the Munich media are also cheering on Hertha Berlin to take the game with all their might in the spirit of fair play.

Zhou Yi showed great confidence at his regular midweek press conference with Jurgen Klopp: "I noticed the media coverage in Munich. Of course they can do that to cheer up their team. But we are not the historical Schalke 04, nor are we Werder Bremen. We're not going to give away the championship that we've won. Bayern Munich have indeed won two of those five comebacks, but this time the league title will not be Bayern Munich's name. ”
He said it with confidence, even a little "crazy".
But no one was disgusted with him for this. Because people have strength.
Powerful people say that Kyogen is called self-confidence, and those who don't have strength are really "Kyogen".
Jurgen Klopp also expressed his confidence: "It's an away game, but we won't take it lightly and we'll do everything we can to respect our opponents. ”
A reporter stood up and asked Klopp if he now regretted giving up the German Cup, and if the German Cup also reached the final, then Dortmund would have the hope of winning the first treble in the history of the Bundesliga.
Jurgen Klopp is open to the question: "But if we don't give up on a certain event, then maybe we won't be able to achieve anything by now. I don't really care about the 'Triple Crown'......"
Zhou Yi also thinks that with Dortmund's situation this season, it is good to have a chance to win the double, and the treble is really unnecessary.
“...... We have a saying in China, 'how much power can do a lot of things'. That's good now. ”
On the other side, at Bayern Munich's regular press conference, Pep Guardiola and captain Lahm both expressed Bayern Munich's confidence.
“...... Now is not the time to give up. Pep Guardiola said in front of a group of media cameras and microphones. "Anything can happen until the last second of the final round of the league. And all we have to do is be ourselves and then look at others. ”
"It's a tough situation, but the harder it is, the more it shows the value of our efforts. All of our players will fight side by side until the very end. Rahm, the captain of the team, said.
A reporter asked the duo if they were disappointed that they had led 80 percent of the season only to be overturned by Borussia Dortmund.
There was a brief and embarrassing silence.
Rahm and Guardiola glanced at each other, and finally Guardiola touched his bald head and said: "Of course, there is some disappointment. But that's something that will be summed up at the end of the season, and now at least there's one league game left in the season. I won't judge what is not over yet. ”
With that, he signaled that the routine press conference could be over.
No matter how many questions the reporters had, he didn't answer them.
These media in Munich also annoyed him.
When his grades were good before, he was blown into the sky. Now, some people have begun to criticize him for coming to Munich for not adapting to the water.
Of course, he knows that as a manager, there is a lot of pressure to take and he will be the focus of attention. But in Barcelona, the overall atmosphere was quite harmonious, after all, he himself was Catalan, his own people. The Catalan media still has to show some affection for their own people.
But after he came to Bayern Munich, he became an "outsider", plus the entire Bundesliga, there is no club that can be compared with Bayern Munich in size, so it is natural to gather the attention of the whole of Germany here, and the pressure and attention he has to bear are much more than when he was in Barcelona. You must know that in La Liga, there is still Real Madrid to help Barcelona share some attention.
Here, he really experienced why Bayern Munich is called the "Hollywood of the Bundesliga", and sometimes it is not like a football club, but like a vanity fair......
You can quickly become famous here and be sought after by thousands of people, and you can also fall quickly here and be pointed out by thousands of people.
