How it feels watching Bayern play every week… pic.twitter.com/uru4pUXD3j— 𝙅𝙞𝙡𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙚 (@JilshieFCB) May 6, 2023 Bayern toiled in the first half and were lucky not to concede when Christian Gross fired a shot inches over the bar on 35 minutes. Sadio Mane came close to putting the champions ahead after the break, but it wasn’t until just after the hour mark that Gnabry broke the deadlock. Pouncing on a loose ball in the penalty area, the Germany international slotted the ball past Jiri Pavlenka in the Bremen goal. Leroy Sane added a second from the bench ten minutes later, before Niklas Schmidt pulled a goal back with a spectacular long-range effort. But that wasn’t enough for Bremen to avoid a 13th straight home defeat to Bayern, in a run stretching back to 2009.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 31FridayMainz – Schalke 2-3 (0-1)/Barreiro 53, Martin 70 – Bulter 26, 90+12 pen, Krauss 60/Bayer Leverkusen – Koln 1-2 (1-2)/Adli 28 – Selke 14, 36/SaturdayAugsburg – Union Berlin 1-0 (0-0)/Beljo 53/Borussia Monchengladbach – Bochum 2-0 (1-0)/Hofmann 35, Stindl 90+1/Freiburg – RB Leipzig 0-1 (0-0)/Kampl 73/Hertha – Stuttgart 2-1 (2-1)/Kempf 29, Niederlechner 45+2 – Guirassy 38/Hoffenheim – Eintracht 3-1 (3-0)/Baumgartner 8, Kramaric 41 pen,Bebou 45+3 – Gotze 54/Werder – Bayern 1-2 (0-0)/Schmidt 87 – Gnabry 62, Sane 72/Sunday 18.30: (1.56) Dortmund (4.30) Wolfsburg (6.00)***odds are subject to change***
