There was still something at stake for nine clubs on the last matchday: Union Berlin, Freiburg, Wolfsburg, Leverkusen and even Frankfurt played for the international competitions. Schalke, Bochum, Stuttgart and Augsburg against relegation. And above, of course, the first long-distance championship duel in ages between Munich and Dortmund. So more than half of the league couldn’t just let the season coast to a halt in the mild May sun.
Great season finale in the Bundesliga
Accordingly, it was back and forth at the season finale. As rare as it is grandiose for the Bundesliga. Schalke, for example, were behind, fought back and still lost. Leverkusen never got that far. The Werkself helped Bochum to stay up. At the top, Union Berlin didn’t burn anything and defended fourth place against Freiburg.
What remains is the championship race and the eternal phrase: Bayern Munich is and will remain champion. Immediately after winning the title, it became known that club boss Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic had to fight. It could hardly be more dignified. The fact that BVB once again didn’t have the nerve for a big final is almost forgotten.
