Bayern Munich have been crowned Bundesliga champions for an 11th straight season after defeating Koln 2-1 on Saturday afternoon.
The Bavarians needed a big favour from Mainz to have any chance of clinching the title after falling to second spot last week.
Thomas Tuchel's men got off to a very good start when Kingsley Coman opened the scoring with his eighth goal of the campaign after eight minutes played.
Bayern thought they had secured a two-goal lead four minutes before the break when Leroy Sane broke through to slot home, but the goal was ruled out for a handball in the build-up.
The visitors suffered a blow with ten minutes after Cologne were awarded a penalty, which Dejan Ljubicic calmly converted to put the sides on level terms.
However, Bayern got the winning goal in the 89th minute thanks to Jamal Musaila's finish, which ultimately handed the visitors an 11 successive league title.
Tuchel gets his hands on his first-ever top-flight league title, while Bayern avoid going trophyless for the 11th straight season.
Borussia Dortmund missed out on claiming the league title following a 2-2 draw with Mainz on home soil.

To make matters worse, the away side got a second goal a few minutes later through Karim Onisiwo, who sent a header home at the front post.
Dortmund had to wait until the second half for to get back in the game when Raphaël Guerreiro sent a fine first-time finish in off the post from the edge of the box.
