Bayern Munich have won the German Bundesliga title yet again after a dramatic final day that saw them edge Borussia Dortmund on goal difference.
Dortmund led the Bundesliga table heading into the final day of the league season. Edin Terzić’s men were two points of Bayern before today’s games.
Bayern were primed to lose hold of the league title for the first time in 11 years but Dortmund fumbled to capitalise on the massive advantage they had.

In the 15th minute, 26-year-old Norwegian defender Andreas Schjølberg Hanche-Olsen scored, to the shock of Dortmund faithfuls. Four minutes later, the home side were presented an opportunity at redemption but Sébastien Haller lost his penalty.
To send the Signal Iduna park into further disappointment, Karim Onisiwo scored Mainz’s second. It was absolutely unbelievable to witness.
Never had Dortmund’s hope of claiming the Bundesliga title been so high in the last eleven years. The stadium had been filled up two hours before kickoff and the fans were even set for a festival.
The home fans were getting dejected after Dortmund went 2-0 behind, with Bayern already leading 1-0 against Cologne. Kingsley Coman has given the reigning champions the lead eight minutes into the encounter.
Meanwhile, the big news before the Dortmund-Mainz game was the absence of Real Madrid-bound Jude Bellingham from the starting lineup.The question about his absence form the lineup even became more obvious after BVB were down by two goals.
