German Bundesliga News :: Bayern claim Bundesliga football title

Posted on 2008-05-04 by Gooner

The beer flowed as Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga title on Sunday after a lacklustre 0-0 draw at VfL Wolfsburg gave them the precious point to be crowned German champions for the 21st time.

The stalemate in Wolfsburg puts Bayern on 67 points - ten more than second-placed Werder Bremen - and with only three games left this season, Munich can not be caught.

Bayern have now won completed a domestic treble by winning the league, German Cup and German League Cup this season.

But Bayern rode their luck and created few chances as Wolfsburg, with Brazilian Marcelinho dominating the midfield, squandered countless opportunities to win the game.

Bayern were decimated by injuries with captain Oliver Khan, striker Miroslav Klose, midfielders Franck Ribery and Ze Roberto plus defenders Philipp Lahm and Lucio all missing after the exertions of their UEFA Cup campaign last Thursday.

After the final whistle, celebrating Bayern players took turns soaking each other - and the management - with beer as chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was given a beer bath live on television from midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.

"We have had an outstanding season and it bodes well for next season," said Rummenigge moments before his beer bath.
