Bayern are officially 2021/22 Bundesliga champions after Leipzig 3-2 loss in Dortmund. 9th in a row and 31st overall.
beautiful moment.
Will be fun beating Nagelsmann in the supercup also.
Nah. Frankfurt will definitely qualify in CL. They have pretty easy schedule. One of Wolfsburg and Dortmund will miss out.
Ever since i said this, Eintracht are doing everything they can to prove me wrong.
Last week they got just a draw at home against Mainz while today they managed to lose at Gelsenkirchen against a relegated Schalke. Now they need a miracle to qualify.

I'd prefer to see Arminia relegated than Werder or Koln.
It's possible actually, Koln should beat Schalke. But Werder beating Gladbach will be tricky even if they're playing for nothing. Stuttgart vs Bielefeld, not sure if it's doable odds are as similar as with the Werder game.
But it'd be an intense season in the 2nd division.
Imagine: Schalke, Hamburg, Werder, Koln, Nurnberg, Hanover, Hansa Rostock, Dynamo Dresden, 1860 Munchen (hopefully those are the three that go up), Fortuna Dusseldorf, St Pauli...
That'll be the best ever 2.Bundelsiga ever

A striker for Bundesliga side Stuttgart, Silas Wamangituka, has revealed his real identity. The player says that he was a victim of fraudulent practices by his former agent and Wamangituka is not his real name.
Silas Wamangituka says he is actually Silas Katompa Mvumpa. He is 22-years old, not 21.
Mvumpa's club, Stuttgart, announced in a statement on Tuesday that their striker had recently revealed the information to them, saying that he was a victim of fraudulent practices by his former agent.
Alleged agent malfeasance
Mvumpa had a tryout with Belgian side Anderlecht in 2017 and he says he was pressured to move to Paris by his former representative. Mvumpa's agent allowed the young player to live with him in Paris and, according to Mvumpa, also changed his name and date of birth. Mvumpa joined Stuttgart in 2019 from French second-division side Paris FC.
Stuttgart believe the agent altered Mvumpa's identity to help Mvumpa break ties with his old club in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mvumpa's home country, and also to increase the young player's dependence on the agent.
"With the support of Stuttgart and a new agent, Silas has been working intensively on clearing up the situation and finally received the corresponding official documentation from Democratic Republic of Congo a few days ago," the club said in the statement posted on the club’s website.
The statement adds that Mvumpa "wants to disclose all details of the manner in which his false identity and personal data have been registered with German authorities."
"It was a tough step for me to take to make my story public," Mvumpa said, "and I would never have had the courage to do so if Stuttgart, my team and (the city of) Stuttgart had not become like a second home and a safe place to me."
Stuttgart said they were fully behind Mvumpa and had the name of the player agent in question.
"We took all measures immediately and alerted all necessary authorities after Silas told us," the club's head of sport, Thomas Hitzlsperger said.
Mvumpa, who scored 13 goals in 27 games last season as Stuttgart finished ninth in the Bundesliga said he had lived "in constant fear for the last few years and have also been very worried about my family in Congo."
DFB launches probe
Stuttgart say they are in contact with the German Football League (DFL) and the German Football Association (DFB) about the matter and that they don't fear any consequences for the player.
The DFB announced on Tuesday that it has launched a probe into the matter. The association's regulatory committee "will review the matter with regard to possible misconduct by the player under sports criminal law," committee chairman Anton Nachreiner said.
After a legal assessment of the facts, Stuttgart say they believe "that Silas was and still is in possession of a valid playing license." Stuttgart also expect Mvumpa to receive a new playing permit with his real identity. He already has a new passport.
"We've made this case public to underline that we are proceeding in a transparent way," Hitzlsperger said.
