Chapter 994 So Embarrassed…

When the football flew into the goal, the Allianz Arena suddenly fell silent, followed immediately by a burst of boos and screams, sighs… These sounds intertwined, making the Allianz Arena as lively as a vegetable market.

Firmino, after scoring the goal, excitedly took off his jersey and ran towards the corner flag, celebrating shirtless. At this moment, he didn't care about the rule that taking off his shirt to celebrate would earn him a yellow card.

After being chased by Bayern Munich for three consecutive goals, Hoffenheim scored two goals in a row, tying the score. Wasn't it worth celebrating to the fullest?

The other Hoffenheim players also ran up and celebrated the goal with him at the Allianz Arena.

This season, since being tied by Borussia Dortmund in the away game, Bayern Munich has maintained a winning streak. It seemed that no team in Europe could stop their winning streak.

In the league game two rounds ago, Mainz almost succeeded, but in the end, they still lost 0:2 at their home stadium, a bitter defeat.

Facing such a powerful Bayern Munich, Hoffenheim actually tied the score after falling behind by two goals, which was enough to make them proud.

"Firmino tied the score for Hoffenheim! It's unbelievable! Hoffenheim actually came back after being two goals behind! They truly deserve to be called the Bundesliga 'Jing Shen Dao' (unpredictable team) this season!"

The news quickly spread to the Mercedes-Benz Arena.

Although there weren't many Borussia Dortmund fans who traveled with the team, they still erupted in huge cheers at this moment, even drowning out the home fans…

Everyone knew that Bayern Munich must have conceded a goal!

"3:3! Amazing Hoffenheim! They tenaciously tied the score!" Marcel Reif also temporarily put aside the commentary for the game at hand and started talking about the other game. "It seems that Hoffenheim forced an active mistake by Bayern Munich through pressing in the frontcourt… This is really rare! Bayern Munich players actively making mistakes leading to a goal? When has this happened to Bayern Munich, who have been emphasizing control so much this season? If Hoffenheim can hold this score until the end, and the score between Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart remains unchanged… the two teams will only be two points apart! And in the thirtieth round of the league, which is two rounds from now, there will be a direct confrontation between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund! As long as Borussia Dortmund can defeat Bayern Munich away, they can become the league leaders!"

Marcel Reif became more and more excited as he spoke.

"The league title, which had the least suspense at the beginning of the season, now seems to be the most suspenseful! Thanks to the tenacious Borussia Dortmund, thanks to the tenacious Hoffenheim, for giving us such an exciting season!"

If Bayern Munich fans heard what Marcel Reif said, they would definitely be very unhappy, but there was nothing they could do. As a neutral commentator, Marcel Reif certainly hoped that the suspense could be maintained until the end, as this would be most beneficial for the Bundesliga to attract attention…

"Hoffenheim tied the score! 3:3!" Duan Xin was also very excited and told the fans in front of the TV about the news as soon as possible. Although he was a Bayern Munich supporter, Borussia Dortmund now had two Chinese players, so he certainly had to lean towards Borussia Dortmund a bit. After all, compared to his own preferences, it was more important to see Chinese players achieve glory.

At the same time, many exclamations appeared on the Chinese internet.

Many people really didn't expect Hoffenheim to be so tenacious, able to tie Bayern Munich away. They should know that when Bayern Munich scored three goals in a short period of time in the first half, these fans felt that they didn't need to pay attention to the game between Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim, and they all put their energy on Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart.

Now, hearing the news that Hoffenheim had tied the score!

They were shocked beyond words.

"It's fate!"

"Bayern Munich can actually be tied by Hoffenheim? Could it be that the league title this season really has suspense?"

"Borussia Dortmund must hold on, don't let Stuttgart tie the score again! Well done, Hoffenheim, hold on for a while, we don't ask you to win against Bayern Munich, just keep this score until the end!"

"Who still remembers Hoffenheim, who almost created the 'Kaiserslautern Miracle' back then? Now Ibisevic has gone to Stuttgart and is playing against Borussia Dortmund. Obasi and Demba Ba are long gone. Gustavo later went to Bayern Munich… I didn't expect that now they have become a force that can influence the league title, it's really sighing…"

"It's time to reveal my thirty-year-old Hoffenheim fan identity!"

※※※

The Borussia Dortmund coaching bench and substitute bench also cheered a little after hearing the news, but Klopp quickly rushed to the sidelines, constantly gesturing to the players on the field, signaling them to calm down and not to worry about the situation over there.

Stuttgart, who were behind, had no choice but to stop defending and had to press forward to attack, which would inevitably bring some pressure to Borussia Dortmund's defense. If Borussia Dortmund couldn't hold on, they might fail…

Since Hoffenheim had worked so hard to create such an opportunity for them, Borussia Dortmund must not waste it. Otherwise, they would deserve not to win the championship!

Zhou Yi also made gestures on the field, telling everyone to concentrate on the game.

The game wasn't over yet, anything was possible. Bayern Munich might increase the score again, and Stuttgart might also tie…

In fact, Stuttgart was really fighting hard.

They were a relegation team, and they needed points to stay in the league. Originally, they had three points, but later it became one, and now they didn't even have one. How could they accept this?

At this time, Stuttgart was fighting for their right to survive, and the energy they unleashed was enormous.

However, Borussia Dortmund was not to be outdone, they were fighting for glory.

The two sides simply played an offensive battle in the last ten minutes of the game.

The transitions between offense and defense were very fast.

Often, a ball would be passed, and it would be Borussia Dortmund's attack, and then it would immediately turn into Stuttgart launching a counterattack. And vice versa.

Because this back-and-forth running was so frequent and intense, the referee pulled a muscle in the eightieth minute during this back-and-forth sprint… and had to let the fourth official come up to replace him.

"This… it's really rare to change the referee in the middle of the game. But this also shows how fierce the game is between the two sides…" Marcel Reif was a little speechless.

After the referee was replaced, the two sides continued to attack each other.

In the eighty-second minute, Borussia Dortmund won a free kick in the frontcourt, about twenty-five meters from the goal, a very good position.

Reus took the free kick, and the football flew straight towards the goal, but it was palmed out of bounds by Stuttgart's goalkeeper Ulreich just before it entered the goal.

A minute later, Yan Min crossed from the right at a forty-five-degree angle, and Mark headed the ball high near the penalty spot.

In the eighty-fifth minute, Stuttgart launched an attack, and Harnik shot from the left side of the penalty area, but it went high.

While Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart were engaged in a frantic offensive battle, at the Allianz Arena, Hoffenheim's mad dog pressing still hadn't ended.

They didn't seem satisfied with just tying Bayern Munich away, they also wanted to take all three points from the Allianz Arena! Bayern Munich had maintained a perfect record at home this season, and no team had been able to defeat them here.

Hoffenheim was incredibly close to this achievement.

After being tied, Bayern Munich also wanted to counterattack and win the game.

But their best at passing and controlling was messed up by Hoffenheim's frantic tactics, and the team had difficulty with continuous successful passes. Either the passes were lost while passing, or they were destroyed by Hoffenheim players…

"Hoffenheim's players have unbelievably good physical fitness. It's already the eighty-fifth minute of the game, and they can still run around the field at this pace, making it difficult for Bayern Munich to organize a decent attack… This is the second time Bayern Munich has conceded three goals in a game this season… The last time they conceded three goals was in a 3:3 draw away against Borussia Dortmund… another 3:3…" Even the commentator from Munich Radio, a Bayern Munich supporter, had to admit that Hoffenheim's performance in this game was very good.

Guardiola anxiously waved his arms and shouted on the sidelines.

But other than that, he had no better way. He had already replaced Götze and Robben, using up all his substitution spots.

Next, he could only watch his players fight on the field.

But it seemed that Bayern Munich didn't have the possibility to score.

In the ninetieth minute, Hoffenheim launched another threatening attack. Kaman's through ball helped Rudy get a one-on-one opportunity. If Neuer hadn't made a key save, Bayern Munich might have lost!

"Neuer! He blocked Rudy's shot! That was close! The game has entered injury time, but Bayern Munich almost had a game-winning goal scored against them by Hoffenheim…" The Munich Radio commentator was very speechless.

How could that invincible and powerful "universe team" be so embarrassed!
