Overview
- Bayern, which paraded the trophy on Sunday in Munich’s Marienplatz, now target the DFB-Pokal final against Stuttgart as Manuel Neuer nurses a calf issue that leaves his status in doubt.
- Stuttgart locked up fourth place with a 2–2 in Frankfurt, and coach Sebastian Hoeneß told players to cut loose before refocusing for Berlin on May 23.
- Eintracht’s final home game saw heavy pyrotechnics, a delayed kickoff and injuries, and the club condemned the scenes as reports pointed to an imminent split with coach Albert Riera.
- Hoffenheim crashed 4–0 at Mönchengladbach to finish fifth, and the club hailed a strong season as Sky’s report of a possible Manuel Neuer World Cup recall left Oliver Baumann’s role uncertain and Julian Nagelsmann offered no confirmation.
- Promotion and relegation reset the map, with Energie Cottbus up to the 2. Bundesliga after a 1–0 at Regensburg and Heidenheim down with plans to rebuild under long‑serving coach Frank Schmidt.
