Overview
- Borussia Dortmund lost 2–1 at Hoffenheim on Saturday, so Bayern can secure the Bundesliga by drawing at home to Stuttgart on Sunday.
- Andrej Kramarić scored two VAR-checked handball penalties (42' and 90'+8') for Hoffenheim after Serhou Guirassy’s 87th‑minute equalizer had briefly leveled it.
- Dortmund’s Niklas Süle slipped in the box, hurt his knee, and conceded the first penalty on review; he was substituted and will undergo further assessment.
- UEFA has opened a disciplinary case against Bayern after a pitch‑side surge injured journalists in the Real Madrid tie, and a fan exclusion for a future match has been floated, though club official Christoph Freund said he expects a full house versus PSG.
- Fan‑safety flashpoints mounted across Germany: DAZN paused its pregame show in Bremen when pyrotechnics flew from the HSV block, police later entered the away section after rockets were fired toward Werder fans, and Hansa Rostock’s flares in Schweinfurt caused a five‑minute stoppage and likely sanctions.
