Bayern Munich were crowned champions of Germany for the ninth straight season after nearest challengers RB Leipzig lost to Borussia Dortmund.

Leipzig, who started the day seven points behind the leaders with three games left, went down 3-2.

England's Jadon Sancho doubled the lead after Marco Reus got the first goal.

Lukas Klostermann and Dani Olmo made it 2-2 before Sancho's winner confirmed Bayern as champions before their game with Borussia Monchengladbach.

In April, Bayern announced RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann would join them on a five-year contract at the end of this season after current boss Hansi Flick said he wanted to leave the club.

Meanwhile, Dortmund's win lifted them to fourth spot and kept alive their chances of qualifying for the Champions League.

That looks like a competitive league.

Maybe we should change the Premier League to follow the German model

The league is too one-sided and predictable. Easily a case Bayern Munich and the others.

What a terrible league. As bad as Scotland.

two-team league compared to an interesting top-4 battle with 2 Bundesliga teams in the QF of the UCL(3 in the Last-16). Definitely better than Scotland AND SERIE A!

JAAAAAAAA
MIASANMIAFUERALLE!!!
Bayern Munich at least have a Bundesliga title, and hopefully RB Leipzig can collapse to miss out on a Champions League!
Thank you Dortmund(can't believe I'm saying this) for the victory, and hopefully you join us in the CL at the expense of Leipzig(still haven't clinched)!
Relegation battle and top-4 still interesting to watch, so good luck to all of them!

Biggest club in the league, hoover up any other decent players/managers, what an absolute snooze-fest. Yaaaaaawwwwn

No wonder they didn’t want to join the super league lol

Must be boring only gearing yourself up for only 4 games a season. After Bayern and Dortmund, the rest are just cannon fodder.

top-4 is interesting and relegation battle is intriguing. Maybe watch the Bundesliga before coming up with nonsense like that.

How boring is the German SPL?

Less boring than the Prem, which has a winner halfway through the season and has a relatively predictable top 4.

9 league titles consecutively. Boring.
