Already crowned champions Bayern Munich were held to a 3-3 draw by bottom-of-the-table Heidenheim in the 32nd round of the German Bundesliga, amidst sweeping changes to the Bavarian club's lineup ahead of their crucial Champions League semi-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain next Wednesday. The Bavarian giants made seven changes to their starting eleven compared to the one that narrowly lost 4-5 to PSG in the first leg in the French capital on Tuesday, and found themselves trailing 2-0 at half-time on Saturday, with goals from Georgian Bodo Zvezvadze (22) and Turkish Eren Dinçci (31). Bayern Munich, who had overturned a 3-0 deficit to defeat Mainz 4-3 last week, managed to get back into the game once again thanks to a brace from veteran midfielder Leon Goretzka (44 and 57).
