Thiago Alcantara halved the deficit on the hour mark, but Werner quickly restored the two-goal cushion to almost certainly give Leipzig the win.

However, Bayern's late fireworks kicked off with six minutes of normal time to play to steal a famous win in the 95th-minute.

While Ancelotti's giants had already won the title - with Leipzig confirmed as earning second-place - the game will still go down as one of the most dramatic of the season.
