Senegalese forward, Sadio Mane has shared his excitement after Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga on the final day of the season.

On a dramatic day in the German league, Bayern needed a win against Koln with the hope that Borussia Dortmund slipped at home to Mainz.

Having taken the lead through Kingsley Coman, the Bavarians were pegged back with nine minutes remaining after Dejan Ljubicic levelled for the hosts from the spot.

With Dortmund losing 2-1 in the other game, the Black and Yellows were set to be crowned champions. However, their dreams were dashed after Jamal Musiala netted a late winner for Bayern Munich, as reported by the BBC.

Mane, who has struggled for form in recent times, took to social media to share his delight and hopes to return next season in good form.

"What a season!! But Alhamdoulilah. Time to go rest and come back stronger," the African Player of the Year said via Twitter.

Meanwhile, his future in Germany remains in doubt after reports claimed he would be sold at the end of the campaign.

Mane joined Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window from Liverpool but has been plagued by issues including injuries, form, and his bust-up with teammate, Leroy Sane.

Bayern win 11th straight Bundesliga

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Dortmund gifted Bayern the Bundesliga title on a shocking final day in the German top flight, with a stunning collapse turning Borussia's swan song into a dirge.

The Bavarians had taken an early lead through Kingsley Coman against Koln while Dortmund went 2-0 down in the first half versus Mainz, missing a penalty that would’ve tied the score at one apiece.

Dortmund entered the day at the top of the table and despite dominated the game, Mainz's Andreas Hanche-Olsen and Karim Onisiwo’s goals were enough as the Black and Yellows stumbled to second.
