Form
Bayern Munich
Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich had to wait to have their historic fourth consecutive Bundesliga title confirmed after being held to a 1-1 draw at home to Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday. Thomas Mueller’s first-half header was cancelled out by Andre Hahn’s superb second-half strike for Gladbach.
Bayern are away to mid-table Ingolstadt next Saturday, then host relegated Hanover on the final day of the season in a fortnight.
There was some good news for Bayern as Jerome Boateng started his first game since January.
Atletico
Antoine Griezmann came off the bench to score the winner as Atletico maintained their La Liga title hopes with a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano as coach Diego Simeone made seven changes from the side that started the first leg against Bayern.
Atletico remain level on points with Barcelona at the top of La Liga with just two games remaining.
