Jamal Musiala scored an 89th minute winner for Bayern Munich against Koln to secure an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title from the grasps of Borussia Dortmund.
Heading into the final day, Dortmund led Bayern by two points but could only manage a 2-2 draw at home to Mainz – falling 2-0 behind after 24 minutes.
Bayern took the lead in Koln through Kingsley Coman after eight minutes, but disaster struck for Thomas Tuchel when VAR awarded the hosts a penalty with ten minutes to play.
Dejan Ljubicic stepped up and slotted home from 12 yards before Musiala’s heroics one minute before stoppage time put the cherry on top of an incredible final day of the Bundesliga.
Niklas Sule scored a 96th minute equaliser for Dortmund but Edin Terzic’s side ran out of time to find a winner, as the trophy changed direction in favour of Cologne.

Just one game remained for Dortmund to end Bayern’s decade-long dynasty, who fell spectacularly at the final hurdle and gifted the trophy on a platter.
Jude Bellingham was left on the bench as he recovers from a knee injury, ready for his move to Real Madrid to be made official in the coming weeks.
Bayern sacked Julian Naglesmann earlier in March due to up-and-down form despite leading the league at both Christmas and the halfway stage, opting for Tuchel’s fresh, new ideas.
In the end, the German giants ended up losing more games in all competitions under Tuchel than his predecessor – whilst somehow also winning the league.
The other two Champions League places will go to RB Leipzig and Union Berlin, with Freiburg heading into the Europa League and Bayer Leverkusen into the Conference League.
