Devastated Borussia Dortmund fluffed their lines with the trophy in their grasp, handing Bayern Munich an eleventh successive Bundesliga title.
Dortmund will never have a better chance to claim a first crown since Jurgen Klopp led Die Schwartzengelben to top spot back in 2012. But since then it's been a Bavarian procession with Bayern establishing a stranglehold at the top of the table under a succession of managers, including Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola and Julian Nagelsmann.
Last weekend's 3-1 home reverse to RB Leipzig handed Dortmund the chance to go top and put themselves in pole position heading into the final matchday of the season. They took full advantage by beating ten-man Augsburg 3-0 away from home to set up a decider at home to Mainz this afternoon.
