Bundesliga 2020/21: Top 5 games of the season!
It has been another fantastic Bundesliga season in 2020/21, filled with drama, excitement and last-minute goals. 928 goals were scored in the 306 games played, and bundesliga.com have picked out the five games you simply have to watch again.

Goals: 0-1 Nkunku (19'), 1-1 Musiala (30'), 2-1 Müller (34'), 2-2 Kluivert (36'), 2-3 Forsberg (48'), 3-3 Müller (75')
It was just 10 games into the season when title-chasing Bayern and Leipzig clashed for the first time.

Goals: 1-0 Reus (45'), 1-1 Alaba (45'+4), 1-2 Lewandowski (48'), 1-3 Sane (80'), 2-3 Haaland (83')
Der Klassiker remains the biggest game of the Bundesliga calendar when giants Dortmund and Bayern collide, and it was no different when we were treated to the first tussle between these sides just seven games into the 2020/21 season. The two went into the encounter level on points atop the table, but crucial second half goals proved too much for Die Schwarzgelben to overcome as Bayern prevailed.

When survival is on the line, drama is sure to follow, and that was certainly the case when Cologne hosted Mainz with just seven rounds of fixtures to go. Just two points separated the two sides just above the automatic relegation places and, in the end, after exchanging goals through the 90 minutes, a late, late strike from Leandro Barreiro ultimately earned Mainz a stunning win that helped lead them towards safety in 2020/21.
