Chapter 319 Five Miracles
After the 33rd round of the league, Munich media began to hype the topic "The Miracle of the Final Round of the Bundesliga".
There is a reason for them to hype this way, because two of the five final rounds of the championship miracles were created by Bayern Munich. So to put it bluntly, it is laying the foundation for Bayern Munich's third miracle.
In fact, the most classic round of the Bundesliga is the last round of the Bundesliga in the 2000-2001 season, but that has nothing to do with the last round of the round.
Because Bayern Munich was always the leader in the league at that time.
Before the last round, Bayern Munich scored 62 points and Schalke 04 scored 59 points, ranking second. Schalke 04 actually only has the possibility of a theoretical turnaround. It is similar to the current situation.
In the last round, Schalke 04 played against Onthacheng at home, while Bayern Munich challenged Hamburg away. Schalke 04 had long lost the suspense, defeating Onthacheng 5:3, while Bayern Munich was almost over or 0:0, but Bayern Munich could accept this draw, everyone had the same points in the draw, but Bayern Munich had the advantage in goal difference and could still win the championship.
As a result, in the 89th minute, Hamburg's Barbaretz scored a goal, leading Bayern Munich 1:0.
At that time, Schalke 04 was cheering and thunderous, and everyone was looking forward to the birth of a miracle.
As a result, in the last second of injury time, Bayern Munich defender Anderson scored an indirect free kick to help Bayern Munich equalize the score 1:1.
At that time, Bayern Munich was naturally ecstatic, while Schalke 04's stadium was silent.
In the end, Bayern Munich won the league championship that season with 63 points with Anderson's goal, while Schalke 04 could only finish second.
This is the origin of the famous Schalke 04 "Four-minute Bundesliga Championship".
That is also the closest Schalke 04 has been to the Bundesliga championship since the new century.
The Munich media did not help everyone recall this comeback because this comeback was unlucky for Bayern Munich today - that time the leader finally won the championship without any danger. Although the second place in the league once saw the dawn of a miracle, it still failed and only won the league championship for four minutes.
As for the current situation, the first place in the league is not Bayern Munich, but Dortmund, while Bayern Munich has become the second place in the league in a not-so-good manner.
If you revisit this game, doesn’t that mean that Bayern Munich will be a four-minute league champion at most, and will be snatched away by Dortmund, the top league in the league, in the end?
So the Munich media automatically ignored this most classic championship drama.
However, the first last round of the Bundesliga history miracle was also related to Bayern Munich, but they played the role of losers at that time.
In the 1970-1971 season, Bayern Munich was still the leader in the 33rd round of the league, but they only had one more goal difference than Mönchengladbach, who had the same points. In the last round, Bayern Munich challenged Duisburg away, but failed 0:2. At the same time, Mönchengladbach defeated Frankfurt 4:1 and completed the overtake in the last round and became the league champion. Bayern Munich also began the "humiliation history" suppressed by Mönchengladbach in the 1970s.
The second time was in the 1985-1986 season, which was still related to Bayern Munich, but this time Bayern Munich is no longer a tragic role. In the 33rd round of the league, Werder Bremen was still two points ahead of Bayern Munich, but in the last round, the situation suddenly changed. Werder Bremen lost 1:2 to Stuttgart, and Bayern Munich beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 6:0 and overtaken to the top as he wished. Werder Bremen missed their second league championship.
The third time in the 1991-1992 season, due to the addition of several East German teams, the Bundesliga expanded to twenty teams, and the league also increased to thirty-eight rounds. In the 37th round, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Dortmund had the same points, and Frankfurt topped the list with a goal difference advantage. In the last round, Frankfurt lost to Rostock and gave up the top of the league. At the same time, Stuttgart and Dortmund were sworn in Leverkusen and Duisburg, and both won. Stuttgart relied on the advantage of goal difference to beat Dortmund to win the league championship.
The fourth time happened in 1995, with Bayern Munich participating, but Bayern Munich is not a role in the championship, but a role in the mess. In the 1994-1995 season, the 33rd round of the league ended, Werder Bremen led Dortmund to top the list by one point. In the last round, Werder Bremen challenged Bayern Munich away, and Dortmund faced Hamburg at home. Bayern Munich has missed the league championship, but they defeated Werder Bremen 3:1 at their home court, and Dortmund beat Hamburg 2:0 at home. With the help of Bayern Munich, Dortmund surpassed Werder Bremen and won the league championship.
The fifth time was in the 1999-2000 season. Leverkusen was at its peak. Their goal was to win the league. After playing 33 rounds in the league, Leverkusen led Bayern Munich to the top of the list. Moreover, their opponent in the last round was the bottom team Ontehashen. Bayern Munich had only theoretical hope to reverse the championship.
The result is that he is almost sure to win... In the game where he is not ten or ten, Leverkusen's midfield core Barack actually scored an own goal, which eventually led to the team's loss of 0:2. At the same time, at the Munich Olympic Stadium, less than a few kilometers away from Onthacheng's home court, Bayern Munich defeated Werder Bremen 3:1, tied Leverkusen's points, and defeated his opponent with seven goals.
Five major comebacks, Bayern Munich participated in direct competition three times, and two laughed to the end.
Munich media hope to use historical achievements to encourage Bayern Munich.
At the same time, the Munich media are also encouraging Hertha Berlin, hoping that they can uphold the idea of fair competition and treat the game with all their might.

Zhou Yi showed strong confidence at the regular press conference in the mid-week with Klopp: "I noticed the reports of the Munich media. Of course they can do this to cheer up their team. But we are not Schalke 04 in history, nor are we Werder Bremen. We will not give up the championship we won. Bayern Munich did win twice in these five rounds, but this time the league championship will not be Bayern Munich's name."
He said it was very confident and even a little "crazy".
But no one was disgusted with him because he had the strength.
People with strength say that crazy words are self-confidence, while people without strength are really “crazy words”.
Klopp also expressed his confidence: "Although it is away, we will not take it lightly, and we will do our best to respect our opponents."
A reporter stood up and asked Klopp if he regretted it now after giving up the German Cup. If the German Cup also reached the final, then Dortmund would have the hope of winning the first triple-champion in Bundesliga history.
Klopp was very open about this: "But if we don't give up on a certain event, then maybe we will accomplish nothing until now. I don't care much about the 'triple crown'..."
Zhou Yi also thinks that with Dortmund's situation this season, it's great to have the opportunity to win a double championship, but there is no need to win a triple-champion.
“…We have a Chinese saying, “How capable is to do something big”. It’s good now.”
On the other hand, at the regular press conference of Bayern Munich, Guardiola and captain Ram both expressed Bayern Munich's confidence.
“…It’s not the time to give up.” Guardiola said in the face of a group of media footage and microphones. “Anything can happen before the last second of the last league round. All we have to do is be ourselves and then look at others.”
"The situation is difficult, but the more difficult it is, the more it reflects the value of our efforts. All of our players will fight side by side until the last moment," said Ram, the captain of the team.
A reporter asked whether the two were disappointed that they were 80% ahead of the season but were reversed by Dortmund in the end.
The scene fell into a brief embarrassing silence.
Ram and Guardiola looked at each other, and finally Guardiola touched the bald head and said, "Of course, I'm a little disappointed. But that's something that will be summarized at the end of the season. At least there is still one round of league in the season. I won't comment on what is not over yet."
After saying that, he signaled that the routine press conference could end.
No matter how many questions the reporters had, he would not answer.
These media in Munich also annoyed him.
When he had good grades before, he was pissed off to the sky. Now? Some people have begun to criticize him for not being able to adapt to the environment when he came to Munich.
Of course he knew that as a head coach, he had to bear a lot of pressure and would become the focus of everyone's attention. But when he was in Barcelona, the overall atmosphere was still harmonious. After all, he was a Catalan and his own. The Catalan media always had to be kind to his own people.
But after he came to Bayern Munich, he became an "outsider". In addition, there is no club in the entire Bundesliga, which can be compared with Bayern Munich, so it naturally attracts attention from all over Germany. The pressure and attention he has to bear is much greater than when he was in Barcelona. You should know that in La Liga, at least Real Madrid still helps Barcelona share some attention.
Here, he truly understood why Bayern Munich was called "Bundesliga Hollywood". Sometimes this place doesn't look like a football club, but rather a vintage and fortune...
