Bayern Munich celebrated their 22nd German League title with a 3-1 victory over already-relegated Hertha Berlin at the Olympiastadion on Saturday. Louis van Gaal's men had been all but home and dry, leading Schalke by three points and 17 goals going into the final day of the season, and duly completed the job thanks to Arjen Robben's second-half double.
Ivica Olic opened the scoring for Bayern - who have a DFB Pokal and Champions League final still to come - in the 20th minute before Gustavo Ramos levelled on the hour mark. But Robben, who has been superb in his first season at the Allianz Arena, struck in the 74th and 87th minutes as Bayern won the title for the first time since 2008 and Hertha bowed out of the top flight with a defeat.
Bayern have now won the domestic title 21 times since the Bundesliga began in 1963. They also won the old German League title in 1932.
