Bayern Munchen: Champions of Germany

Hi there everyone! Hope you all are taking very good care of yourselves in this difficult time of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

It is indeed great to see the resumption of sports after a halt due to the pandemic.

With the German league (Budesliga) completing its competition last month. It’s Bayern Munchen who have won their 8^th straight Bundesliga title and 29^th overall, in a tight affair against lowly ranked Werder Bremen.

Defending champions Bayern entered the game with a straightforward scenario, where a win would guarantee the Bundesliga trophy to stay at the Allianz Arena for another year.

Both sides started well, with the hosts Werder Bremen trying to catch Bayern on the counter attacks and had been occasionally successful, but either failed to hit the target or were denied by the opposition goalkeeper.

Then, two minutes from half-time, striker Robert Lewandowski broke the deadlock following a Jerome Boating cross to put Bayern Munchen 1-0 up.

To make things more interesting Bayern’s Alphonso Davis got a second yellow card of the game in the 79^th minute of play and got himself sent-off for a foul on a Werder Bremen player, forcing the visitors to defend with 10 men for the rest of the match.

Werder Bremen applied constant pressure following Davis’s red card but were unable to find the back of the net, resulting in a Bayern victory.

This saw Bayern clinch their 8^th straight Budesliga title, making it 29^th overall. The win over Werder Bremen meant the champions finished at the top of the Bundesliga standings with two games to spare.

So, now that the Bundesliga has concluded with the remaining fixtures being played, I present the full Bundesliga table below.

As for Werder Bremen, they find themselves in regation zone and need a win against Heidenheim on 3rd July 2020, to avoid religation.
