It's time for the RB Leipzig vs. Bayern Munich live stream, which looks to be the best thing we have to a title decider at this stage of the campaign. Yes, of the eight matches left in the Bundesliga 2020-21 season, this might be one of the biggest.

A win by RB Leipzig, and the team is just a point behind Bayern Munich in the table. Should Bayern Munich win, however, and the defending Bundesliga champs would have a seven-point gap between them and their closest challenger — big enough to cruise to their ninth straight title.
