BERLIN: Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund guaranteed coach Thomas Tuchel would be in the dugout for Tuesday’s Champions League game at Arsenal despite Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Heidenheim.
Bayern had a two-goal lead at half-time but conceded three goals to the promoted club, which left Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen — who won 1-0 at Union Berlin — on the cusp of a first Bundesliga title.
Leverkusen are 16 points clear and need just one win from their remaining six games to lift the title, with Bayern having won the previous 11 league crowns.
