Bayern held to draw by stubborn Schalke
The scoreless draw ends Bayern Munich's run of 67 consecutive matchdays atop the Bundesliga table.
Bayern Munich were held to a 0-0 draw by promoted Schalke in their Bundesliga match on Saturday. Defending champions Bayern's run of 67 consecutive matchdays at the top of the table came to an end with this scoreless result. It was the first time Bayern failed to score since February 2025. Schalke, who have never beaten Bayern since 2011, had not taken a point off the Bavarian giants in nine years.
Schalke goalkeeper Loris Karius was named man of the match for his impressive performance. Bayern dominated possession but created few clear chances as Schalke held on stubbornly. Harry Kane and Michael Olise started from the bench for Bayern. Luis Diaz had a notable chance early in the second half but saw his chip saved by Schalke's Karius.
Bayern's captain Manuel Neuer received boos from home fans throughout the match. Despite the draw, Bayern will welcome the return of Jamal Musiala, who revealed he is dealing with a neurological condition. Dortmund's Ethan Nwaneri scored an own goal, but then came off the bench to score the winning goal in their 3-2 win at Hoffenheim.
