MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Bayern Munich on Saturday earned their ninth consecutive Bundesliga title after RB Leipzig's 3-2 loss at Borussia Dortmund and their own later 6-0 demolition of Borussia Moenchengladbach that put them 10 points clear with two games left to play.
While the Bavarians claimed their 31st German league title and their 30th Bundesliga crown since the introduction of the top division in 1963, they had to work harder for it than in past seasons.
But their busy schedule meant Hansi Flick's team never had a summer break to recover from an intense season, with the Champions League final in August followed by the regular season start only weeks later. But despite a far from solid backline, the Bavarians lost none of those eight matches, winning five and drawing three.
