Bayern Munich win 21st German league title

Bayern Munich secured their 21st German league title and completed a domestic double for the third time in four seasons when they drew 0-0 away to VfL Wolfsburg today.

Bayern's draw stretched their lead over closest rivals Werder Bremen to 10 points with three games left.

The Bavarian club's 20th title since the Bundesliga era began in 1963 follows their German Cup final victory over Borussia Dortmund in Berlin last month.

Their only other German Championship success came back in 1932.

They played poorly today against Wolfsburg, who missed the chance to keep them waiting for the title when Grafite burst through on goal in the final minute only to shoot five metres wide.

With 31 games played, Bayern lead with 67 points, followed by Werder on 57 after their 2-0 win over Energie Cottbus yesterday. Schalke 04 are two points further back in the third and final Champions League place after a 1-1 draw at home to Hanover 96.
