Bayern secured its eighth straight German Bundesliga championship on Tuesday with a 1-0 win away to relegation-threatened Werder Bremen. The Bavarian titans got the only goal they would need from star striker Robert Lewandowski — who else? — just before halftime, and they kept a desperate Bremen side off the scoreboard the rest of the way, despite having to play the final 11 minutes of the match with 10 men after Canadian left back Alphonso Davies received his second yellow card of the contest.
Lewandowski’s strike was his Bundesliga-leading 31st this season and 45th across all competitions:
Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer preserved the shutout and the three points with a spectacular late save on Werder’s Yuya Osako.
