What an incredible final matchday in the last round of the German Bundesliga. The most important extracts: Bayern "crown" their disaster season and are not even runners-up - in stark contrast to VfB Stuttgart. Union Berlin remain top after a dramatic match, Mainz too, while Cologne are relegated and Bochum are relegated. Leverkusen completed their dream season, while Dortmund gave Marco Reus a dream farewell.

Bayern are only third after a 2:4 defeat at Hoffenheim, while Stuttgart were crowned runners-up thanks to a 4:0 home win over Mönchengladbach. Champions League finalists Dortmund beat Darmstadt 4-0 in front of their own fans. Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig drew 2-2.

Cologne quickly behind
Cologne only had a theoretical chance of securing a relegation place before their visit to Heidenheim, and that quickly disappeared. Erin Dinkci (16, 22) and Kevin Sessa (36) made it clear early on that Cologne, with captain Florian Kainz and Dejan Ljubicic, were unable to add to their tally.

However, even a win would not have helped the Billy Goats, as Union Berlin won 2:1 against Freiburg with Christopher Trimmel. Kevin Stöger's Bochum slipped into relegation thanks to Janik Haberer's decisive goal from the penalty spot (92'). VfL had nothing to report in Bremen, with the strong Romano Schmid scoring a goal (87'), hitting the crossbar and providing two assists, including the one that made it 1-0 through Marco Friedl (6').

Sabitzer hits the crossbar
Marcel Sabitzer also hit the crossbar in Dortmund's dress rehearsal for the final match in the top flight against Real Madrid, while Ian Maatsen made it 1-0 seconds later. Marco Reus, who was celebrated by the fans in his last match for BVB, added a free-kick (38'), while Julian Brandt (72') and Donyell Malen (88') also got on the scoresheet.

Leverkusen in command
As expected, new champions Leverkusen had no problems in their 2:1 win over Augsburg thanks to goals from Victor Boniface (12) and Robert Andrich (27) and are now unbeaten in all 51 competitive matches this season, becoming the first German Bundesliga side ever to go a season without defeat. The Werkself still have a chance to win the DFB Cup and the Europa League in the coming days.

Bayern lose after leading 2:0
There is no title for FC Bayern, who led 2-0 with Konrad Laimer at TSG Hoffenheim with Florian Grillitsch after goals from Mathys Tel (4th) and Alphonso Davies (6th), but then lost 2-4 with goals from Maximilian Beier (8th) and Andrej Kramaric (68th, 85th, 87th). Thomas Müller played his 473rd Bundesliga match for FCB and is now tied with Sepp Maier as Munich's all-time record player as they played their last match under outgoing coach Thomas Tuchel.

Many other matches were also marked by farewells. In addition to Reus in Dortmund, Christian Streich was also duly celebrated. The coach is leaving SC Freiburg after twelve years.
