Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel congratulated Bayern Leverkusen on the title, even though there are still seven rounds left in the Bundesliga season.
The Pharmacists have 13 points more than the Bavarians, who are well on their way to losing the Salatara, which they have won for 11 years in a row.
Bayer has never been a champion in the team.
When asked if the championship race was decided, after Bayern's defeat in the big derby against Borussia Dortmund (0:2), Tuchel answered:
"After today's game there is no need to count points anymore. What is the difference now? Congratulations to Leverkusen".
After 11 matches, the Bavarians lost the biggest German derby, the popular "classic".
"We are very disappointed because we felt that we did not bring the necessary passion to win the match".
Before that, Bayer defeated Hoffenheim 2:1 with a great turnaround in the finish.
