FC Bayern München are all but confirmed as German Champions for the 25th time. Bastian Schweinsteiger’s late goal was enough to beat a dogged Hertha BSC side on Saturday evening. The Bavarians will be confirmed as winners should VfL Wolfsburg fail to win against Borussia Mönchengladbach tomorrow.
It took Bayern 80 minutes to hit the lead. Mitchell Weiser beat four men before firing in the perfect cross, which Schweinsteiger expertly swept into the top corner. Moments earlier he had hit the post with a deft header.
The visitors almost took the lead after 54 minutes. Genki Haraguchi’s excellent pass set up Nico Schulz, but he was thwarted by an excellent Manuel Neuer save. From that moment on, Bayern controlled the game.
Despite controlling possession, chances were few and far between. Hertha didn’t pose a threat on the counterattack but they did make things tough for the hosts. Bayern frequently got deep into Hertha’s half but were forced to change their plans thanks to strong defending.
