ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI scored a hat-trick as Bayern Munich celebrated their NINTH consecutive title win by thrashing Borussia Monchengladbach.
The German giants were already crowned champions before kick-off after Jadon Sancho scored twice as Borussia Dortmund beat second-place RB Leipzig 3-2.
And they celebrated in true style with their Polish talisman scoring his 44th, 45th and 46th goals of the season.
Lewandowski got their five-star showing underway after just two minutes with the opener.
David Alaba’s cross from the left found the hit man at the back post and he ruthlessly drilled his effort into the corner.
Thomas Muller then made it two on 23 minutes before Lewandowski brilliantly had his second just after the half-hour mark.
Muller’s chip in the box hung in the air and Lewandowski acrobatically volleyed his effort into the net.
It was ruthless by the 32-year-old, who further cemented his reputation as undoubtedly the best striker in the world.
Bayern were running riot and Kingsley Coman smashed in a fourth just before half-time when Lewandowski turned provider.
And his hat-trick was complete from the spot on the hour mark to move one goal behind Gerd Muller’s Bundesliga record.
The legendary Muller scored 40 during a Bundesliga season in the 1971-72 season and Lewandowski now needs two from the remaining two matches to break it.
Bayern did end the contest with ten-men when Tanguy Nianzou was sent off with five minutes remaining.
The entire Bayern squad started the party on the field at the full-time whistle as they wore shirts emblazoned with the No 9.
