What a drama. For the 33rd time in its history and for the 11th consecutive time – Bayern Munich are German champions. The Bavarians came into the last round of the Bundesliga two points behind Dortmund, won 1-2 in Cologne and took advantage of the glorious yellow-black crash at Signal Iduna Park with a 2-1 loss to Mainz.
Bayern, which has rendered the league irrelevant for the past decade, ends a season full of behind-the-scenes chaos with a title, having been eliminated early from the German Cup and in the quarter-finals of the Champions League by Manchester City.
This season included the dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann in March and the arrival of Thomas Tuchel, a mess between management members and quite a bit of bad blood behind the scenes, great anger on the part of leading players such as Joa Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Thomas Müller over the conduct, violence between players as happened between Sadio Mane and Leroy Sané, and other events that, regardless of the title, are expected to lead to quite a few changes in Bavaria this summer, But the bottom line is that champagnes will open again in the capital.
