Bundesliga decides final Champions spot and relegated sides | OneFootball

The final round of the Bundesliga on Saturday (16) decided the last team to qualify for the Champions League and the teams going directly down to the second division.

The most dramatic game of the day was the direct clash at the bottom of the table between Wolfsburg and St. Pauli. Whoever lost would leave the pitch relegated.

The Wolves only needed a draw to survive and won 3-1.

As a result, St. Pauli and Heidenheim will play in the 2. Bundesliga next season.

Wolfsburg still need to go through the playoff against the third-placed team from the second division to determine their future.

Meanwhile, Stuttgart did their part and secured fourth place in the table and a spot in next season’s Champions League.

See below for the final Bundesliga table and details from the last round of matches:

Champions League: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig, Stuttgart

Europa League: Hoffenheim, Bayer Leverkusen

Conference League: Freiburg

Playoff: Wolfsburg

Relegated: St. Pauli, Heidenheim

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Stuttgart

Stuttgart only depended on themselves to qualify for the Champions League and went 2-0 up in the first half.

Eintracht were still dreaming of a Conference League spot and fought back to level it with two penalty goals.

In the end, Stuttgart got the qualification they were looking for and will be in Europe’s top club competition in 2026/27.

Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim could still have qualified for the Champions League with a win.

But that possibility quickly faded, with Borussia Mönchengladbach going 2-0 up in less than 25 minutes.

Tim Lemperle was also sent off in the opening seconds of the second half, leaving Hoffenheim a man down.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Hamburg

Bayer Leverkusen also took the field with slim chances of reaching the Champions League.

But the team did not do its part and drew with Hamburg.

St. Pauli vs Wolfsburg

The most dramatic game of the day, with both teams fighting to stay up.

Wolfsburg did their part and won 3-1, sending St. Pauli down.

Heidenheim vs Mainz

Heidenheim needed a win to complete a spectacular finish to the season and avoid relegation.

But the visitors quickly ended their survival dream and were already two goals ahead by halftime.

Bayern Munich vs Cologne

Bayern’s incredible attack reached 122 goals scored in the Bundesliga, an average of more than 3.5 per match.

The record for goals in a single season of the competition belonged to Bayern themselves, with 101 scored by the 1971/72 team.

As usual, Harry Kane shone and found the net three times.

Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund

Neither team took the field with much at stake in the table.

Guirassy and Brazilian Yan Couto scored the goals in the match, both in the second half.

Freiburg vs Leipzig

Freiburg entered the match still chasing seventh place, which secures a spot in the Conference League.

The team did its part and can now focus fully on the Europa League final next Wednesday (20), against Aston Villa.

If they win the title, Freiburg will set aside the Conference League place and qualify for the Champions League.

Union Berlin vs Augsburg

It was coach Marie-Louise Eta’s second win in charge of Union Berlin during her brief spell in this final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

She is leaving the role to take over the women’s team from next season.
