Bayern Munich clinch Bundesliga title in record time

Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga title in record-breaking time with a 3-1 win over Hertha Berlin at the Olympic Stadium, and are well on course to smash the German points record.

With seven games remaining, Bayern could end up with 98 points if they win every game, with the record standing at 91 points from last term.

The German giants have also beaten their record from last season, where they won the salad bowl with six games left.

"I am satisfied that we did it," Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, in his first season in charge, told reporters. "A game earlier or later does not matter. Congratulations to everyone at the club."

"Now we will go out to dinner and celebrate," added Guardiola, who managed to avoid the traditional on-pitch beer shower from his players. "We will enjoy the free time we have here."

The Spaniard, who won 14 out of 19 titles in four years at Barcelona, has added the Bundesliga crown to the European Super Cup and Club World Cup titles Bayern won earlier this season. They have an unassailable 25-point lead over second-placed Borussia Dortmund, who were runners-up last term, with 21 points to play for in Guardiola's first season in charge.
