The afternoon promised to be grandiose. It was ultimately disastrous. While it was at the top of the Bundesliga before the final day and could be crowned champion for the first time since 2012, BVB is hooked by Mainz 05 (2-2), who had nothing more to play, and thus finished second, behind Bayern Munich, who fell to Cologne (1-2).
Still, Signal Iduna Park was full, with fans hotter than ever. After a huge "You'll Never Walk Alone" came down from the stands, the match began with the repeated assaults of Edin Terzic's men. And following the opening score of Hanche-Olsen against the course of play (0-1, 15th), BVB was awarded a penalty on a foul by Dominik Kohr on Raphael Guerreiro two minutes later.
But the hero of the match against Augsburg, Sebastien Haller, totally missed his attempt, which was stopped by Dahmen (19th). The Borussen were punished in the wake with the goal of the break signed Onisiwo (24th) and lost Karim Adeyemi to injury before half-time. Raphael Guerreiro's goal (69th) and Süle's (90+5) did not change anything, despite several huge chances (74th, 76th, 78th). BVB missed a unique opportunity to win its 9th title.
Bayern Munich says 33
For their part, the Bavarians did the job in suffering by overcoming Cologne (1-2). After the opening of the magnificent score of Kingsley Coman (8th), they were scared on the equalization on penalty of Ljubicic (81st). But the nugget of the club, Jamal Musiala delivered his own at the very end of the match (89th).
With this victory, they won their 11th consecutive German league title, the 33rd overall, and limit the damage after the early eliminations in the German Cup against Freiburg and in the Champions League against Manchester City. Note that at only 26 years old, Kingsley Coman won his 11th career championship (eight with Bayern, two with Juventus and two with PSG).
