Bayern lift the title
Bayern Munich celebrated their 24th Bundesliga title, which they secured on March 25, with a closing win on Saturday while Hamburg's hopes of remaining in the Bundesliga now hinge on the play-offs.
Bayern rounded off their Bundesliga campaign with a 1-0 win over Stuttgart, their 29th victory of the season coming courtesy of an injury time goal from Claudio Pizarro.
Pep Guardiola's titleholders, knocked out of the Champions League semi-finals by Real Madrid, will now focus on next Saturday's German Cup final against Borussia Dortmund.
Hamburg, on the other hand, face a nervy play-off before their record-breaking Bundesliga status is assured.
The only side never to have been relegated in the Bundesliga's 51-year history will play the team which finishes third in the second division in a two-legged play-off.
Hamburg, crowned European champions 31 years ago, assured their place in the play-offs despite a 3-2 loss at Mainz 05.
