Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on Saturday to secure their 10th straight Bundesliga title with three games left to play in the season.
First-half goals from Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski put the hosts 2-0 up before Emre Can cut the deficit with a 52nd-minute penalty. Jamal Musiala got Bayern’s third goal seven minutes from the end.
Bayern – 12 points clear of second-placed Dortmund – have now won 31 Bundesliga titles since the introduction of the top division in 1963, and 32 German league crowns in all.
Bayern were desperate to seal the title – their only silverware of the season – in the league’s big game in front of a 75,000-strong home crowd to make up for their Champions League quarter-final shock exit to Villarreal earlier this month.
They took their first chance through Gnabry, who controlled the ball at the edge of the box with one touch and released a fierce volley past ‘keeper Marwin Hitz, left frozen on the spot.
