Former Bundesliga champions Stuttgart were relegated for the first time in 41 years after losing 3-1 at Wolfsburg in the top flight season finale yesterday.

Werder Bremen needed an 88th-minute goal by Papy Djilobodji to beat visiting relegation rivals Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 and keep their spot in the Bundesliga, with their opponents going into a play-off against Nuremberg, third in the second division.

Stuttgart, who needed a win to have a chance at earning the play-off place, quickly fell two goals behind in the first half.

Daniel Didavi’s 78th-minute goal gave them a glimmer of hope but Andre Schuerrle sealed Wolfsburg’s win in the final minute.

Bayern Munich celebrated their fourth straight Bundesliga title with a 3-1 win over Hanover in Pep Guardiola’s last league game in charge of the Bavarians.

Robert Lewandowski put Bayern in front and sealed his place as the league’s top goalscorer in 2015/16 before Mario Goetze struck twice on what could be his last Bundesliga match for the club, amid transfer speculation.

Artur Sobiech pulled a goal back before the party started at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern took the title by 10 points from Borussia Dortmund, who they meet next Saturday in the final of the DFB-Pokal.

Lewandowski took the honours as the league’s top scorer with 30 goals.

The Poland striker is the first player to score at least 30 goals in a season since Dieter Mueller in 1977 and became the first foreign Bundesliga top scorer to net 30 times or more as he won the title for the second time in three seasons in Germany.

Borussia Moenchengladbach sealed fourth place with a 2-0 win at Darmstadt and will go into the Champions League play-offs.

Borussia Dortmund, in second place on 78 points only managed a 2-2 draw at home to Cologne as they prepare to face the Bavarians in the German Cup final.

Bayer Leverkusen, who secured third place weeks ago, rounded off the season with a 3-2 comeback win over visitors Ingolstadt.

Schalke , who announced just before their game that coach Andre Breitenreiter would be sacked at the end of the season, crushed Hoffenheim 4-1 away to clinch a UEFA Europa League spot.

“Andre Breitenreiter will not be the coach of Schalke next season,” the club said on Twitter.

Schalke have had a disappointing campaign under the 42-year-old, with the Royal Blues left battling for a Europa League spot and away from the top positions in the Bundesliga.

Mainz battled to a 0-0 draw at Hertha Berlin to finish sixth and snatch the last automatic Europa League spot from the hosts, who will go into the competition’s qualifying rounds.
