Borussia Dortmund won its seventh Bundesliga title and first since 2002, beating Nuremberg 2-0 on Saturday in Berlin while second place Bayer Leverkusen lost 2-0 at Cologne. First half goals from Lucas Barrios and Robert Lewandowksi put Dortmund eight points ahead of Leverkusen with two rounds left. Dortmund started the season by losing at home to Leverkusen.
"I'm just happy," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. "I thought I'd be euphoric but maybe that'll come. It's impossible to put what the lads have done into words."
Milivoje Novakovic scored for Cologne in the 67th and 82nd minutes, giving his team its first victory over Leverkusen in 14 years.
"I can't really describe it," Dortmund midfielder Kevin Grosskreutz said. "We played a really awesome season."
This sets up the German side to make waves in nest year's Champions League where they saw fellow countrymates Schalke make a run to the semifinals this season.
