The German football championship, called the Bundesliga, is rightfully considered one of the strongest domestic championships in Europe. The 2018-2019 season turned out to be memorable and very intriguing. Until the last round, the winner of the championship was unknown.
The hegemony of Bayern Munich in recent years in the Bundesliga has not diminished the audience's interest in the German Championship. Other well-known German clubs are trying to compete. The 2018-2019 season turned out to be unpredictable. The denouement came only in the final matches. Moreover, this concerned both the distribution of prizes and the positions that would allow the teams to take part in the Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.
Winners of the German Championship 2018-2019
Bronze medals in the Bundesliga championship for the 2018-2019 season were won by RB Leipzig. According to the results of 34 rounds, the team scored 66 points. Such a result can be considered successful for the management, although only recently Leipzig won silver medals at all.
Silver in the 2018-2019 season went to Borussia Dortmund. The main rival of Bayern can not add this game year to their asset. For a long part of the championship, the Black-and-Yellows were ahead of their rivals from Munich in points. Everything indicated that Borussia would be able to interrupt an outstanding streak of victories for the Munich side. However, in their penultimate match, the Dortmund footballers lost, allowing Bayern to take the lead. After such a result, the fate of the gold medals no longer depended on the Borussia players.
Before the last round, two Bundesliga giants were separated by two points. “Bavaria” for registration of the next championship title could not have lost to “Eintracht”. The Munich club exceeded the task, scoring a crushing victory with a score of 5: 1 over the Frankfurt players. According to the results of the last round, Borussia had 76 points, and Bayern - 78. Thus, for the seventh time in a row, the Bundesliga gold medals went to Bayern.
Once again, the Munich footballers showed character, having managed to win back the points gap from their competitors. Bayern tried to play effectively all season, as evidenced by the difference between goals scored and conceded. Scored 88 goals, conceded 32.
Distribution of places in Eurocups
Four first places from the Bundesliga receive a ticket to the next year in the UEFA Champions League. Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig will be accompanied by Bayer 04 Liverkusen in the main club tournament in Europe. Liverkzens only in the last two rounds were able to secure the fourth position in the championship, having won. Bayer's main rival Borussia Gladbach had an advantage in points two matches before the end of the German championship, but lost in the last championship games, letting Leverkusen's players go ahead. The final distribution in the table: Bayer - 58 points (fourth place and the right to play in the championship league), Borussia Monchengladbach - 55 points (fifth place and the opportunity to play in the Europa League).
The sixth position in the Bundesliga gives the second ticket from Germany to the Europa League. In the 2018-2019 season, it went to Wolfsburg, who scored 55 points after 34 rounds (only in terms of additional indicators, the club lost fifth place to Borussia Gladbach).
Losers of the 2018-2019 Bundesliga season
18 teams take part in the German Championship. The clubs ranked 18th and 17th will automatically leave the elite division. In the 2018-2019 season, the standings were closed by Nuremberg (19 points and last place) and Hannover 96 (21 points and 17th place). The club with the 16th final position will take part in transitional matches for the right to remain in the elite. In 2019, this team from the first Bundesliga turned out to be Stuttgart, who scored 28 points at the end of the season.
