BAYERN MUNICH secured their eighth consecutive Bundesliga title with a behind-closed-doors win over Werder Bremen.
Robert Lewandowski bagged his 46th goal of the season as Hansi Flick’s side continued their winning streak in style.

The veteran striker has now found the net 31 times during the 2019/20 Bundesliga campaign.
And he continued his fine spell of form to give Flick’s side the lead in the final minutes of the first half at the Weser Stadium.
After he timed his run perfectly, the 31-year-old controlled the ball with his chest then volleyed his shot past Jiri Pavlenka.
Lewandowski came close to doubling his tally in the second half, but was denied by the offside flag.
Bayern were reduced to ten men when Alphonso Davies was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 79th minute.
The 19-year-old was lucky to remain on the pitch after he lashed out at Leonardo Bittencourt in the 19th minute.

And he eventually saw red in the second half following a brutal challenge on Milos Veljkovic.
But the reigning champions managed to keep hold of their lead to secure the title for the 30th time in the club’s history.
Bayern have pulled up away from Borussia Dortmund after winning all seven of their league games since football restarted in Germany.
