Incredible! On the gong, Bayern Munich won their eleventh consecutive German championship title. A trophy lost by Borussia Dortmund in a crazy atmosphere at Signal Inula Park which was held in check by Mainz (2-2).
Leader of the championship before this last day, Borussia Dortmund had their destiny in their hands for this last day. But Edin Terzic’s men failed to win at the worst of times. Quickly trailing 1-0 thanks to a goal from a corner from Olsen (15th), Borussia had many opportunities to equalize including a penalty four minutes later. But Sebastien Haller missed his duel against a Finn Gilbert Dahmen of the big nights. On a very fine cross from Jae-Sung Lee, home striker Karim Onisiwo doubled the mark for Mainz with a header (24th). time, the many offensive changes made by Terzic (Moukoko, Duranville, Reyna, Modeste) allowed the yellows and blacks to be much more dangerous. After more than 2 clear chances, the BvB was rewarded with a superb goal from Portuguese Raphaël Guerreiro (69th). Even though Niklas Süle snatched the equalizer at the end of the match (96th), the point of the draw was not enough for Dortmund to be crowned German champion. Bayern also had a completely crazy match in Cologne. Badly beaten by RB Leipzig last week, the Bavarians had to win and count on a misstep from BvB to be crowned champion. From the start of the match, Bayern imposed their rhythm and dictated their game, Tuchel’s men were quickly rewarded thanks to a goal from Frenchman Kingsley Coman (8th). In the second half, Cologne put their foot on the ball and managed to equalize from the penalty spot thanks to Dejan Ljubicic (81st). At the end of the match, Jamal Musiala came into play four minutes earlier and offered the title to the Bavarians at the end of the game (89th).
Invincible, Bayern are still king, as they have been since 2013. Far from being their best season, Thomas Tuchel’s men still remain on the roof of the Bundesliga for the eleventh consecutive year.
