Bayern Munich crowned Bundesliga champion

255

Following Bayern Munich’s winning of the Bundesliga on the final day, Dortmund has once more failed to capture their first league victory since 2012.

Dortmund, which had a two-point lead over the competition going into the final match of the match, was forced to settle with a 2-2 draw with Mainz instead of winning the league title. A victory over FC Köln in the 89th minute gave their main rival Bayern Munich their 11th straight victory in the league.

Jamal Musiala scored Bayern’s 89th-minute winner as Bayern Munich’s head coach Thomas Tuchel’s side snatched the title by the tightest of margins on a dramatic final day.

Tuchel is the seventh manager to win the Bundesliga title with the club in the past eight seasons. He joins a list that includes Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, Jupp Heynckes, Niko Kovac, Hansi Flick (who won it twice), and Julian Nagelsmann.
