With Bayern, only one thing's for sure - there will be goals

It was supposed to be routine. Instead, it became another uncomfortable chapter in Bayern Munich's increasingly erratic season.

Bottom-placed Heidenheim came within moments of a remarkable victory at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, only to be denied in the most improbable fashion - a stoppage-time equaliser that left their players stunned, as if something precious had just slipped through their fingers.

The final score, 3-3, told only part of the story.

Heidenheim, with little to lose, sensed vulnerability in a Bayern side that began the match with a heavily rotated line-up. In many leagues, such a selection might have sparked debate; here, it simply underlined the champions' curious lack of urgency ahead of the crucial Champions League return leg against PSG on Wednesday.

And the visitors took full advantage.

Two first-half goals gave them control, before Leon Goretzka halved the deficit just before the break, offering Bayern a lifeline. When Vincent Kompany introduced reinforcements - Harry Kane, Joshua Kimmich and Michael Olise - the momentum seemed inevitable.

Goretzka's second goal early in the second half appeared to confirm it, but Heidenheim refused to follow the script. A swift counter-attack, finished by Budu Zivzivadze, restored their lead and set up a tense finale in which every second mattered.

Perhaps too much. Time-wasting in added time led to an extended stoppage, gifting Bayern one final opportunity. And when play resumed, fortune intervened. Olise's delivery struck the post, rebounded off goalkeeper Diant Ramaj and into the net - a cruel, chaotic equaliser deep into stoppage time.

FALSE 10: At first, I thought PSG-Bayern was amazing, but then I watched it again...

For Heidenheim, it felt like a defeat. Two points lost that could yet define their fight for survival.

For Bayern, it was something else entirely: a reminder that even at home, even against the league’s bottom side, nothing is straightforward anymore.
