On April 4, 2026, Bayern Munich faced SC Freiburg at the Europa-Park Stadion in Freiburg, Germany, with kickoff set for 15:30 CET. The atmosphere was electric as both teams took to the field, with Freiburg looking to end a long winless streak against Bayern in the league.
SC Freiburg’s starting XI featured Noah Atubolu in goal, supported by Treu, Ginter, Lienhart, and Günter in defense. The midfield included Eggestein and Johan Manzambi, while the attacking trio consisted of Beste, Yuito, and Scherhant, with Lucas Höler leading the line.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, fielded a strong lineup with Manuel Neuer in goal. The defense included Stanisic, Kim, Tah, and Tom Bischof. Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka anchored the midfield, while Karl, Guerreiro, and Díaz supported Serge Gnabry in attack. Notably, Harry Kane was absent due to an ankle injury.
The match began with both teams testing each other, but it was Bayern who struck first after just 10 minutes. The goal came as Bayern stepped up their intensity, with Karl being denied by Atubolu shortly before Gnabry’s long-range effort narrowly missing the target.
As the first half progressed, Bayern continued to apply pressure, but Freiburg held firm, showcasing their resilience. However, Bayern’s persistence paid off as they managed to score again, taking a commanding lead.
Freiburg, who had recently won their last match against St. Pauli, fought back valiantly. They managed to find the net twice, bringing the score to 3-2, but it was not enough to secure a point.
This victory marked Bayern’s continued dominance over Freiburg, who has not beaten them in the league since May 16, 2015. In fact, Freiburg has only managed to win five of their last 54 meetings with Bayern across all competitions.
Bayern Munich’s only league defeat this season came at home against Augsburg in January, highlighting their strong form as they aim for the title. With this win, Bayern is also on the verge of equaling the goalscoring record from the 1971/72 season, should they score at least four goals in their next match.
As the final whistle blew, Bayern Munich celebrated their hard-fought 3-2 victory, while Freiburg was left to ponder what could have been. The match underscored the competitive nature of the Bundesliga and the challenges that lie ahead for both teams.
