The stage was set for Dortmund to claim their first title since the 2011-12 season if they could overcome Mainz.

However, a spirited comeback from a 2-0 deficit was not enough to seal the deal, as Bayern had other plans.

Bayern took full advantage of Dortmund's missed opportunity, thanks to an 89th-minute winner from the talented Jamal Musiala.

The match against Cologne witnessed a rollercoaster of emotions. Bayern initially took the lead through Kingsley Coman's goal, only to be pegged back by a Cologne penalty.

Musiala's heroics sent the traveling Bayern fans into raptures as he curled home a superb finish in the dying moments of the game.
