Bayern Munich pulled off a dramatic comeback to defeat Freiburg 3-2 in the Bundesliga on Saturday, just days before their Champions League quarter-final first leg at Real Madrid. Trailing 2-0 in the final 10 minutes and without injured talisman Harry Kane, Bayern staged a stunning turnaround.

Tom Bischof scored twice from distance in the 81st minute and stoppage time, before Lennart Karl netted the winner in the ninth minute of added time. Karl’s strike also marked Bayern’s 100th goal of the season, just one shy of the all-time Bundesliga record. Bischof called the win “the perfect preparation” for the Madrid fixture, adding: “A game like this shows the type of team we are — we stick together.”

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany rested Michael Olise and Dayot Upamecano ahead of the European clash, while veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer returned from injury. Freiburg had taken the lead just after halftime through Johan Manzambi, and Lucas Hoeler doubled the advantage in the 71st minute, seemingly putting Freiburg on course for their first league win over Bayern since 2015.
