Bayern Munich stylishly wrapped up another Bundesliga title on Saturday with a 5-1 defeat of Eintracht Frankfurt.

Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben were introduced from the bench for their final Bayern appearances, and they both scored during an evisceration of manager Niko Kovac's former club. Rafinha, who's also on his way out of the Allianz Arena this summer, was an unused substitute.

Borussia Dortmund finished second and two points adrift of Bayern after concluding their campaign with a 2-0 win at Borussia Monchengladbach. Lucien Favre's outfit led the Bundesliga until the second weekend of March.

Kingsley Coman opened the scoring for Bayern on Saturday after only four minutes when he was found in too much space at the edge of Eintracht's 18-yard box. Sebastien Haller equalized for the away side at 50 minutes, but David Alaba and Renato Sanches promptly put Bayern ahead 3-1 by the 58th minute.

Then, somewhat predictability, Ribery and Robben capped their respective farewells with goals. Ribery's effort was special, as the Frenchman began on the left flank before evading three challenges and lifting the ball over goalkeeper Kevin Trapp.
