AI Summary

Bayern Munich narrowly secured a 1-0 victory against Wolfsburg despite Harry Kane missing a penalty, as they aimed to recover from their recent Champions League exit. The Bundesliga champions faced a frustrating start, with a lineup featuring six changes and lacking their usual attacking flair, even with Kane, the league's top scorer, in play.

In the 36th minute, Kane's penalty miss marked a rare failure, ending his streak of 24 successful spot-kicks. The breakthrough finally came in the 56th minute when Michael Olise delivered a beautifully curled shot into the top corner, sealing the win for Bayern.

Wolfsburg nearly equalized late in the match, but Mattias Svanberg struck the post in the 89th minute, leaving them without a goal. Bayern now turns its focus to the German Cup final against Stuttgart on May 23, aiming for a domestic double.

In another match, Lautaro MartĂ­nez led Inter to a commanding 3-0 victory over Lazio, serving as a psychological boost ahead of their upcoming Coppa Italia final. MartĂ­nez scored the opener in the 6th minute and assisted Petar Sucic for the second goal just before half-time. Lazio's task worsened with Alessio Romagnoli receiving a red card, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan capped the win in the 75th minute.

Meanwhile, Mezian Mesloub made headlines by scoring seconds into his debut for Lens, clinching a 1-0 victory against Nantes and securing Champions League qualification for his team. Lastly, Galatasaray celebrated their fourth consecutive Turkish league title with a 4-2 win over Antalyaspor, maintaining a four-point lead over Fenerbahce.
