FC Bayern München secured the league title back in April but the trophy was only presented to them following their 2-0 victory over 1. FSV Mainz 05 on the final matchday - the 25th championship in the clubs' history. As usual, the celebrations on the pitch were wild and intense.
World Champion Jérôme Boateng sat down with DFB.de to discuss Bayern's title celebrations, Jürgen Klopp's farewell, the substitution of Robert Lewandowski and the upcoming tasks with the DFB Team.
DFB.de: Mr. Boateng, congratulations on winning the championship and to your personal success, of repeating the feat of giving Pep Guardiola a beer shower, like you did last summer.
Jérôme Boateng: It wasn’t as easy this year. He found a much better hiding place today.
DFB.de: Will you be looking for the hat trick next year?
Boateng: First of all, I hope that we will win the Bundesliga title again next season. But we should now be talking about the Bundesliga campaign that just ended and we should celebrate. We deserve to celebrate after this season.
DFB.de: Is the team able to fully enjoy the celebrations, or are the two missed finals in Berlin still at the back of your minds?
Boateng: No, we are going to celebrate now. Berlin is not a topic at this moment. We can't change any of that anyway. The championship is what it's all about today. We worked hard for this moment for a very long year.
DFB.de: Dortmund's coach Jürgen Klopp said that he could imagine becoming FC Bayern's coach one day. What do you say to that?
Boateng: I think it is undisputed, that Jürgen Klopp is a very, very good coach. We will have to wait and see if it works out that he can come here some day in the future. But it would certainly be interesting to see.
DFB.de: What do you think when Robert Lewandowski was subbed off, although he was still in a position to be named the division's top scorer?
Boateng: I think it was more important for Claudio Pizarro to make an appearance.
DFB.de: But he could've subbed off ten other players for that.
Boateng: Yes, but at the end of the day it's the coach's decision and that's what he decided to do. Overall I don't think it's that important.
DFB.de: Will you be on holiday starting Monday, or are you going to play for Germany in June?
Boateng: That will be decided on Monday.
DFB.de: What are you hoping for?
Boateng: We will see. I will talk to our coach about it. Both options are fine with me.
