Bayern Munich Wins 9th Straight Bundesliga

Bayern Munich celebrated being crowned champions of Germany for the ninth straight season in style as Robert Lewandowski's hat-trick helped them thrash Borussia Monchengladbach.

The title had been confirmed hours earlier after nearest challengers RB Leipzig lost to Borussia Dortmund.

A Lewandowski double plus Thomas Muller and Kingsley Coman strikes gave Bayern a 4-0 half-time lead.

Lewandowski's third came from a penalty before Leroy Sane added a sixth.

Bayern finished with 10 men when 18-year-old substitute Tanguy Nianzou was shown a straight red card for a challenge.
