Cologne/Munich – FC Bayern are German champions – for the eleventh time in a row. With a 2-1 win shortly before the end in Cologne, Munich's Borussia Dortmund, who blundered in the 2-2 draw against Mainz, snatched the championship trophy that was almost certain. Actually, the jubilation at FC Bayern should be limitless, but the mood is depressed after the mixed season.

Jamal Musiala's goal in the 89th minute put Bayern on course, while BVB only managed to equalise against Mainz deep in injury time through former FCB player Niklas Süle. Earlier, Dortmund had even missed a penalty through Sébastien Haller.
After the last-minute championship, the Bavarians celebrated with a fake Schalke, which the injured captain Manuel Neuer was allowed to stretch into the Cologne sky. President Herbert Hainer let himself be celebrated alone in the corner. Without Hasan Salihamidzic and Oliver Kahn, who have been dismissed according to tz info.

Of course, the mood was anything but exuberant as a result of the fixed dismissal. Brazzo argued wildly with Hainer on the pitch until Kahn's successor, Jan-Christian Dreesen, kept things calm. Apparently, Salihamidzic had only recently learned of his exemption.
FCB leader Thomas Müller didn't want to let the last-minute championship spoil his mood: "But it's unbelievable for the squad. That's what you remember." On Sunday afternoon, FC Bayern will celebrate the title with their fans on the balcony of Munich's town hall. You won't miss a thing in our live ticker for Bayern's championship party. (ck)
