Berlin: Bayern Munich were confirmed as German champions for the 25th time on Sunday as Wolfsburg's 1-0 defeat at Borussia Moenchengladbach meant Pep Guardiola's Bavarians can no longer be caught.

Gladbach's Germany striker Max Kruse sent the title to Munich as his 90th-minute winning goal at Borussia Park saw Bayern finish the weekend with an unassailable 15 point-lead with four games left. Bayern had picked up their 24th victory in 30 league games on Saturday when Bastian Schweinsteiger's late goal sealed a 1-0 home win over Hertha Berlin at the Allianz Arena.
