Dortmund entered Saturday's decisive final match two points clear of Bayern, but Edin Terzic's side were stunned
in a 2-2 draw following a disastrous first half that saw Mainz go two goals ahead and forward Sebastian Haller miss a penalty.
Meanwhile, Bayern travelled to Cologne and went ahead inside 10 minutes thanks to an early goal from winger Kingsley Coman.

However, Bayern forward Jamal Musiala netted on 89 minutes to seal a memorable 2-1 victory. Dortmund scored a stoppage-time equaliser through Niklas Sule but had just
seconds to chase a winner, with the final whistle confirming Bayern's 33rd German top-flight title. It has been a turbulent campaign for the German club as they switched
managers during the season, but the March arrival of Thomas Tuchel managed to steer Bayern to yet another league triumph as they continued their decade-long dominance
For the second half of the campaign, it looked increasingly like the club's reign of dominance was going to end. Bayern parted ways with manager Julian Nagelsmann back on March 24 and
replaced him with Tuchel. At that stage of the season Bayern were locked in a title challenge with Dortmund and RB Leipzig, and in the Champions League.
