(CNN) --

Bayern Munich claimed its 10th straight Bundesliga title after beating Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on Saturday.

It is the first club in Europe's top five leagues to win 10 consecutive titles.

The beer was flowing as the Bayern players celebrated on the pitch, with teammates throwing the iconic mugs at each other after the match ended.

The German powerhouse secured the league title after opening a 12-point gap with three games remaining, underscoring their dominance over the last decade.

Julian Nagelsmann's side knew that a win against Dortmund in Saturday's Der Klassiker would be enough, and they took a 2-0 lead before halftime.

Goals from Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski seemed to put the Bavarians in complete control, but Emre Can halved the difference after the break with a penalty.

Then Dortmund began to put pressure on the hosts, but youngster Jamal Musiala secured victory with a goal in the final stage.

Despite their local dominance, Bayern received much criticism after falling out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage, losing on aggregate to Villarreal.

But now the team and coach Nagelsmann have delivered a long-awaited league title for their fans to celebrate.

"Just right now... this is the best," said Thomas Mueller, who won his 11th title.

"We really wanted to win here. There was a lot of frustration in the last couple of days and we were able to play today."

Mueller continued: "This is not boring. This is exceptional. The more you earn, the greedier you get every year."
