BV Borussia Dortmund
as Winner Bundesliga 2010/2011
Lucas Barrios leads the celebrations for Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund have been crowned Bundesliga champions for the first time since 2002 after their 2-0 home win against 1. FC Nürnberg coincided with defeat for second-placed Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
Top of the table since early November, Jürgen Klopp's men were two goals to the good by the break thanks to Lucas Barrios and Robert Lewandowski. Leverkusen had to win to keep their hopes alive but succumbed 2-0 at 1. FC Köln, Milivoje Novakovič scoring both goals in the second half.
Elsewhere, 1. FSV Mainz 05 look safe in fifth with two games remaining after a 3-0 defeat of third-bottom Eintracht Frankfurt, who had Sebastian Rode (43) sent off. Mainz are five points clear of Nürnberg and four shy of FC Bayern München, who can move above Hannover 96 into third with a win against FC Schalke 04 in the 18.30CET kick-off.
Hannover came unstuck against VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach, who boosted their survival chances with a 1-0 triumph. Lucien Favre's team are two points adrift of Eintracht in the relegation-promotion play-off place and three behind VfL Wolfsburg.
Papiss Demba Cissé's double, meanwhile, earned SC Freiburg a 2-0 victory at Hamburger SV and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim lost 2-1 at home to VfB Stuttgart.
