Bayern Munich were crowned champions of Germany for a 24th time with a record seven games to spare after victory at Hertha Berlin. Midfielder Toni Kroos set them on their way, finishing from 14 yards after Thomas Mullers cross. Mario Gotze made it 2-0 with a header from Bastian Schweinsteigers cross, before Adrian Ramoss penalty reduced the deficit. But Franck Riberys lob sparked wild celebrations among Bayerns fans. Guardiola has enjoyed many momentous moments during his managerial career. But steering Bayern to a runaway success over their domestic rivals will feature highly on the 43-year-olds curriculum vitae, along with his three La Liga titles and two Champions League successes at Barcelona. The Spaniard, in his first season in charge of Munich, celebrated with his players on the Olympic Stadium pitch afterwards. But Guardiolas attention will already have turned to next weeks Champions League quarter-final with Manchester United. Having secured the third piece of silverware of his short reign to go with the Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup, Guardiola can now focus all his efforts on winning the European Cup.
