Bayern finished on 71 points, ahead on goal difference from Dortmund. RB Leipzig and sensational Union Berlin are third and fourth respectively and will also compete in the Champions League next season. "It is unbelievable that I experience such a title race," said Bayern's Thomas Mueller, who celebrated a league-record 12th Bundesliga title. While the title win rescues some silverware in what has been a frustrating season for Bayern, the club sacked CEO Oliver Kahn, who was not in Cologne, and sports director Hasan Salihamdizic minutes after the title win.

MUNICH, Germany, May 5 (Reuters) - Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich will be without injured striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and defender Josip Stanisic when they travel with a "decimated squad" to Werder Bremen on Saturday, coach Thomas Tuchel said on the eve of the match. "He is feeling the knee and it causes discomfort," Tuchel said of Choupo-Moting's nagging injury. "He will out for about two weeks but two weeks at this stage are a lot and the number of matches is not increasing. Bayern reclaimed the lead last week with a win over Hertha Berlin as Dortmund slipped up against VfL Bochum with a draw. We have the chance to up the ante now but we cannot allow ourselves any more ups and downs," Tuchel said.

MUNICH, Germany, May 4 (Reuters) - Bayern Munich want as few distractions as possible as they look to salvage a disappointing season by at least retaining their Bundesliga title, delaying a much-anticipated board meeting until after the end of the season.

With four games left and Bayern travelling to 12th placed Werder Bremen on Saturday, the club announced this week it would delay a May 22 board meeting until after the end of the season. "The Bayern Munich board has set a new date of May 30 for its scheduled second quarter board meeting," it said in a statement. Freiburg, in fourth on 56 points, host fifth-placed Leipzig, who have 54, in the battle for Champions League places.

With second-placed Bayern Munich, a point behind on 59, in action at home to Hertha Berlin on Sunday, victory over Bochum would pile more pressure on Dortmund's embattled title rivals.

They are in 15th place on 27 points, just two points above the relegation playoff spot. Hertha are without a win in their last seven games and are anchored in last place on 22 points points.

BERLIN, Feb 16 (Reuters) - There is no team in the Bundesliga that can boast of having a better record against the mighty Bayern Munich than Borussia Moenchengladbach. Gladbach, in 10th place, are unbeaten against Bayern in their last four encounters across all competitions and another match without defeat would set a new unbeaten club record against the Bavarians. "We will have to see for both of them how it develops over the next few days," said Farke. While Bayern started the year with three straight draws, Julian Nagelmann's team has since bounced back and won their last two league games. "Bayern are in good form and will be highly motivated to deliver against us," said Farke.

The banners have been cropping up at German soccer games for years. In gigantic letters painted across bedsheets, they decry lives lost, bureaucratic corruption, and alleged human rights abuses, all with the same objective. The German national soccer team, they argue, has no business traveling to the World Cup in Qatar. Over the past two weeks, with the tournament kickoff looming on Nov. 20, the messaging has only intensified. Shame on you.”

Pantovic had another chance to put Union back in the game but the former Bochum player's 78th-minute penalty was parried by keeper Manuel Riemann. Bochum's second win of the season lifted them off last place and into 17th on seven points. Schalke 04, who sacked coach Frank Kramer on Wednesday, dropped to bottom place following their 2-1 defeat at Hertha Berlin courtesy of Wilfried Kanga's 88th-minute winner.

Real Madrid, gigant al fotbalului european, și-ar fi exprimat din nou interesul pentru atacantul din Bundesliga, potrivit site-ului Calciomercato.com. Tânărul internaţional norvegian Erling Haaland a doborât în weekend un record vechi de 57 ani, devenind jucătorul cu cele mai multe goluri marcate în primele sale 22 de meciuri în Bundesliga. Haaland a înscris de patru ori în meciul cu Hertha Berlin, ajungând astfel la un total de 23 de goluri în 22 de partide disputate până acum în campionatului Germaniei. Norvegianul a depăşit cu această ocazie performanţa legendarului fotbalist german Uwe Seeler, care a înscris de 20 de ori în primele sale 22 de meciuri în prima ligă germană, în tricoul formaţiei Hamburg SV, pe parcursul sezonului 1963-1964. La doar 20 de ani, Erling Haaland a devenit, totodată, cel mai tânăr jucător care a reuşit să marcheze patru goluri într-o singură partidă din Bundesliga.
