Berlin (dpa) – One is hit, one can still hope, one is saved: between 1. FC Köln, Werder Bremen and Arminia Bielefeld, today (3.30 p.m. / Sky) the second relegated of this season in the Bundesliga will be decided.
On the last day of the match there is also a place in the Conference League. Robert Lewandowski could become the sole scoring record holder.
WHAT’S CLARIFIED:
Champion: FC Bayern are champions once again, for the ninth time in a row. Coach Hansi Flick will leave Munich prematurely after this season and possibly the new national coach.
Champions League: RB Leipzig finished the season in second place, coach Julian Nagelsmann replaces Flick in Munich for the new season. In addition to the Leipzigers, VfL Wolfsburg and DFB Cup winner Borussia Dortmund are also qualified for the European elite class. It remains to be seen whether your current coaches Oliver Glasner and Edin Terzic will be there. Terzic is still planned as an assistant to the new BVB coach Marco Rose.
Europa League: Eintracht Frankfurt had to give up the Champions League place to Dortmund and, like Bayer Leverkusen, is in the Europa League. The coaches leave: Adi Hütter is moving from Frankfurt to Mönchengladbach and succeeding Rose there, Wolf is returning to the German Football Association from Leverkusen.
First relegated: FC Schalke 04 has been relegated to the 2nd division since the 30th matchday.
WHAT’S OPEN:
Second relegation and participant in the relegation: From the trio of 1. FC Köln, Werder Bremen and Arminia Bielefeld, one must follow Schalke and one in the relegation. Cologne in 17th place has the worst starting position with 30 points before the home game against Schalke. Bremen as 16th has 31 points before the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach and with old master Thomas Schaaf once again a new coach. Werder had to deny the relegation against the table third in the 2nd division last year. Arminia starts the game at VfB Stuttgart from a saving 15th place with 32 points.
Conference League: Four teams compete to participate. Union Berlin (47 points) has the best chances as seventh before the home game against Leipzig, Gladbach (46) must hope for a mistake by the Köpenicker and probably win in Bremen. Stuttgart and Freiburg (45), which will compete in Frankfurt, are lying in wait.
Goal record: Robert Lewandowski set the legendary Bundesliga record for Bayern striker Gerd Müller from the 1971/72 season at 2-2 in Freiburg with his 40th goal of the season. In the Munich game against FC Augsburg, the 32-year-old Pole can now become the sole record holder.
