A Dejan Ljubicic penalty sandwiched between a goal from Kingsley Coman and Jamal Musiala handed the Bavarians a dramatic win against FC Koln as Mainz held Dortmund to confirm Thomas Tuchel's charges as German champions, CNN reports.

Shortly after the final whistle resounded, Dortmund's players collapsed onto the ground, grieving over a championship that, in the most excruciating manner, eluded their grasp.

While Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund was filled with heartbreak, across Germany, in Cologne, the travelling Bayern fans celebrated with their team after they witnessed a melodramatic end to the season and an 11th championship to boot.

The scenes at the RheinEnergie Stadion were that of pure bliss as the Bayern Munich players celebrated their championship triumph with the travelling fans.
