Champion match ball for Bayern! BVB slip up against Hoffenheim | OneFootball

FC Bayern are on the verge of another championship, while Borussia Dortmund lost at Hoffenheim – meaning that even a draw is now enough for Munich to win the title

Borussia Dortmund dropped points on matchday 30 to give FC Bayern an early championship party at home. BVB lost 2-1 away at TSG Hoffenheim. Andrej Kramaric put the hosts ahead in the 42nd minute with a penalty, Serhou Guirassy equalised in the 87th minute, but Kramaric struck again from the spot in the eighth minute of stoppage time to secure victory for Hoffenheim

FC Bayern’s lead thus remains comfortable – and the starting position in the championship race is clear

Dortmund’s defeat means that FC Bayern now have a great opportunity to wrap up the German championship as early as Sunday. A draw at home to VfB Stuttgart would be enough for Munich to wrap up the title early

In this case, their lead would grow to an unassailable 13 points with just four games remaining, meaning Bayern would be mathematically certain of the championship

The starting position could hardly be better: after a dominant season for long stretches, Munich have earned themselves this comfortable position and can now take the final step under their own steam at home in the Allianz Arena

Kompany remains focused

At the press conference before the Stuttgart game, coach Vincent Kompany emphasized that premature celebrations are not an issue: „The championship only plays a role at the end of the season. We only celebrate at the end!“ the Belgian made clear

Nevertheless, if the title is won, you can expect beer showers and an exuberant party from the fans

One thing is clear: everything is in place for the next championship title. With at least one point, Munich can finally clinch the trophy – and reward themselves for an outstanding season.
