BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel said he will be happy to win the first Bundesliga title of his career without his team kicking a ball on Sunday as long as the Bavarians bag their 11th straight league title.
Bayern take on third-placed RB Leipzig on Saturday and will go four points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund with a win. A Dortmund defeat at Augsburg on Sunday would seal the title for Bayern with a game to spare.
He is, however, two wins away from guaranteeing his first German league crown, in what is the toughest domestic season for Bayern in years. "In the past the title was decided earlier ," Tuchel said."The situation in the standings is not routine and the best recipe is to influence what we can influence.
