Leipzig beat the whistle to qualify for next season’s Champions League. Hertha Berlin qualified for the relegation play-offs, with Bielefeld and Fürth relegated. Bayern striker Lewandowski won the “Golden Boot” for five consecutive years, and his teammate Muller became the “assist king” with 18 assists.
Leipzig catches the “last train” of the Champions League
The final round of the Bundesliga starts with nine games at the same time. Bayern Munich locked the championship early and completed an unprecedented ten consecutive championships. At the same time, it created the longest consecutive championship record in the five major European leagues. Dortmund and Leverkusen have also locked in the top four positions in advance and won the Champions League place for next season.
In the end, after the 34th round, Bayern ranked first with 77 points; Dortmund ranked second with 69 points; Leverkusen, who once topped the table at the beginning of the season, finished with 64 points and third place. race.
In this round, the fourth-ranked Leipzig and the fifth-ranked Union Berlin drew 1:1. Although Leipzig failed to win, Freiburg behind it lost to Leverkusen. In the end, Leipzig locked in the fourth position and got the “ticket” for next season’s Champions League.
Union Berlin is fifth and Freiburg sixth. Because the German Cup final is between Freiburg and Leipzig, but no matter what the outcome is, it will not affect the ownership of the Europa League seat. Union Berlin and Freiburg will play in the Europa League next season. Cologne is seventh and will compete in the UEFA Cup next season.
Eintracht Frankfurt are 11th in the league with 42 points and cannot enter the Europa League through league points, but they have advanced to the Europa League final this season. If they beat Rangers to win the championship, they will enter next season as Europa League champions. Champions League battlefield. In that case, there will be five Bundesliga teams in the Champions League next season.
Stuttgart beat the buzzer to avoid relegation
In the final round of the relegation battle, Stuttgart and Hertha Berlin had a final sprint. Before the start of the match, Hertha Berlin had 33 points and Stuttgart had 30 points, with the former holding the initiative. As a result, in the face of Dortmund, who had no desires and no desires, Hertha Berlin, who could be relegated as long as they drew, was beaten by their opponents in the 84th minute and lost 1:2. And Stuttgart relied on Japan international Endo to score a header in the 91st minute, 2:1 lore Cologne, to achieve a big counterattack.

Hertha Berlin, ranked third from the bottom, needs to participate in the play-offs to compete with the third place in the Bundesliga for a place in the Bundesliga next season. Bielefeld ranked 17th with 28, “Deputy Squad” Felt accumulated 18 points, and the two teams will be relegated to the Bundesliga next season.
Lewandowski asks for a transfer after winning the Golden Boot
Bayern shook hands with Wolfsburg in the last round of the away game 2:2. Polish striker Lewandowski scored the 35th goal of the Bundesliga this season, surpassing Lever, who ranked second in the scorer list. Kusen striker Hick scored 11 more goals. As a result, Lewandowski became the top scorer in the Bundesliga for the fifth consecutive season and his seventh time, thus tying the Bundesliga record held by the old Muller.
This season, Lewandowski has scored a total of 50 goals in all competitions. This is the second time in his career that he has broken the 50-goal mark in a single season. He also became the oldest player to score 50 goals in a single season in the four major European leagues in the past 60 years.
After the game, when Lewandowski received the “Small Steel Cannon”, he was emotional and tearful, and specially greeted the Bayern fans in the stands. Earlier, Bayern sporting director Salihamidzic had confirmed that Lewandowski refused an invitation to renew his contract with Bayern for a year and made a transfer request. Although his contract with Bayern doesn’t expire until mid-2023, Lewandowski is clearly not satisfied with the club’s only one-year contract extension.
Seeing that Lewandowski’s intention to leave has been decided, Bayern had to let go and was willing to let him leave for a transfer fee of about 35 million to 40 million euros. According to a number of foreign media reports, the coach of the La Liga giants Barcelona Xavi did not mind Lewandowski’s age of 33 and offered him a three-year contract. It is expected that the two-time world footballer is expected to play in La Liga next season.
Haaland bids farewell to Dortmund to continue reincarnation
Dortmund reversed Hertha Berlin 2-1 in the final round. The whole game was filled with a “farewell” atmosphere. From the head of the team, Zorc, to the loyal Schmelzer who has played for ten years, to the team’s top scorer Erling Haaland, as well as Witsel, Bourgi, Hitz and others The team’s main starting team, and the promising Moukoko, who is under 20 years old, will no longer or will likely no longer play for Dortmund next season. Dortmund will once again enter the cycle of discovering, cultivating and selling talents.
Among them, Haaland has determined that this is his last game in the Bundesliga. In order to get the 21-year-old Norwegian genius center, Manchester City directly delivered the “release penalty” of Haaland’s contract of about 65 million euros, and provided him with the first highest salary in the team-30 million euros after tax, for a period of time 5 year contract. It can be seen that “Blue Moon” is full of sincerity.
Haaland has only won the FA Cup once during his time at Dortmund. Join Manchester City and play under Guardiola, and the championship will naturally be soft. But I don’t know if Haaland can help Guardiola win the Champions League title he dreams of – the “Big Ears Cup”.
