Record-breaking Bayern Munich claimed their 24th German league title on Tuesday with a 3-1 win at Hertha Berlin as Pep Guardiola’s side secured the title with seven games remaining.
In his debut season, Guardiola has now won three titles in nine months after last August’s Uefa Super Cup triumph and December’s Club World Cup success.
“I am just happy we have finally managed it,” said Guardiola as his side opened up an unassailable 25-point lead over second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
“It didn’t matter when we got it just as long as we won the title for this great club.”
Bayern’s 19th consecutive Bundesliga win secured their 24th title – their 23rd of the Bundesliga era – and the victory at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium was never in doubt after they raced into a 2-0 lead with just 15 minutes gone.
Bayern have also taken one game off their own record, set last season, for the earliest confirmed league win and are still on course to finish the season unbeaten.
