Bayern München captain Philipp Lahm lifted the Bundesliga title amidst a flood of red and white confetti. The trophy was handed to him by league president Reinhard Rauball after today's 2-0 victory over Mainz.
"It is always special to finish top of the table. We dominated last season but that doesn't automatically mean we'll be successful again. We worked hard and were dedicated - these traits were crucial in our success. We deserved the title," said Lahm, whose side finished 10 points clear of second place VfL Wolfsburg.
Bayern clinched the title on matchday 30 but lost their last three games, against Leverkusen, Augsburg and Freiburg respectively. During this spell they were also knocked out of the DFB Cup and Champions League.
Vacation begins tonight
Ahead of the game against Mainz, the fans enjoyed traditional Bavarian music as well as a 25 gun salute in honour of Bayern's 25 championships. After the final whistle, the team enjoyed a celebration featuring plenty of beer, as well as completing a lap of honour to the sounds of Imagine Dragons and OMI.
