Bayern Munich clinched on Saturday before playing their ninth consecutive German league title thanks to Dortmund's 3-2 victory over second Leipzig, which leaves Munich with at least seven points ahead with two days remaining. .

At the end of the day, Manuel Neuer and his teammates can further increase their lead by receiving Mönchengladbach.

The title, the 31st in club history, is the second and last for coach Hansi Flick, who will leave his place on the bench to Julian Nagelsmann next season.

It will also be the only trophy this season for the Bavarians, eliminated in the German Cup and the Champions League.

Dortmund hope to finish in the top 4

Dortmund, the last champion team before Bayern in 2012, will probably not boast of having offered a new title to their historic rivals.

But this victory was crucial for Borussia, who can continue to hope to finish in extremis in the top 4, qualifying for the next C1.

In the absence of the injured scorer Erling Haaland, Jadon Sancho scored twice (51st, 87th), after the opening of the scoring by his captain Marco Reus (7th).

For Leipzig, who answered by Lukas Klostermann (63rd) and Dani Olmo (77th), this defeat is not dramatic, since the RB remains second with four points ahead of Wolfsburg.

Record goals for Robert Lewandowski?

Dortmund and Leipzig will meet Thursday night in Berlin for the German Cup final.

Bayern players will watch the final on TV, trying to stay focused on their last two games, in Freiburg and then at home against Augsburg.

There remains a collective challenge for them to take up: to help Robert Lewandowski to break the absolute record of 40 goals in a Bundesliga season - which everyone in Germany believed to be eternal - established in 1971-72 by the legendary Gerd Müller, under the same Bayern jersey.

The Pole had scored 35 goals in 26 Bundesliga matches, but an injury at the end of March caused him to miss four matches.

He scored again on Matchday 31, and now has only three games left to strike at least four times to tie Müller.
