BAYERN OFFICIALLY CROWNED GERMAN CHAMPIONS WITH A 3-1 WIN OVER HANNOVER (PHOTOS)

BAYERN MUNICH celebrated being champions for the 26th time in style.
Mario Gotze, in what is likely to be his final game for the Bavarians, stole the show with a matchwinning brace.
Robert Lewandowski chipped in with his customary strike to become the first non-German to score 30 Bundesliga goals in a single season.

Runners up, Borussia Dortmund, would have found his doubly difficult to take as all three of Bayern’s goals were scored by ex-Yellow and Blacks.
Club legends such as Michael Ballack, Elber, Bixente Lizarazu, Luca Toni and Oliver Kahn were all in attendance to celebrate the club’s latest triumph.
While the crowd were greeted to a half-time performance by American band, One Repulbic, who played their new single Wherever I Go.

Bayern became the first team to win the title in four consecutive seasons — three under the guidance of Pep Guardiola — when they beat Ingolstadt last week.
It was a party atmosphere at the Allianz Arena and Lewandowski was presented with the Torschutzenliste trophy for being the Bundesliga top goal scorer before the game.
But it was soon down to business.

Lewandowski opened the scoring after just 12 minutes as became the first player since Dieter Muller for Cologne in 1976-77 to net 30 Bundesliga goals.
The Pole steered home the rebound of after Gotze’s shot had been blocked.
And, on 28 minutes, it was Germany’s World Cup final hero who double Bayern’s lead with lovely dinked finished after an impressive solo run.

Guardiola ensured Manuel Neuer would set a new record of 21 clean sheets when he replaced him Sven Ulreich, allowing the former Stuttgart stopper to make his Bayern debut in the Bundesliga.
Liverpool and Chelsea target Gotze then netted his second nine minutes after the interval in what is likely to be his farewell game — profiting from Hannover’s inability to clear a corner.
A Jerome Boateng error on 66 minutes allowed Artur Sobiech to pull one back for 96.
But it didn’t matter as there was plenty to celebrate after the match.
