BERLIN - Bayern Munich secured their 34th German league title on May 4 without kicking a ball after title rivals Bayer Leverkusen were held to a 2-2 draw at SC Freiburg, leaving the leaders with an unassailable eight-point lead with two games left to play.
Leverkusen needed to win to maintain any mathematical chance of claiming the title after Bayern drew 3-3 at RB Leipzig on May 3.
But their result left last season's champions in second place on 68 points, with Bayern on 76 and sealing their record-extending 33rd Bundesliga title since the introduction of the top-flight league in 1963.
"We can take a moment now to enjoy winning the Bundesliga," said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, in his first season at the Bavarian giants, in a club statement.
