League roundup-GERMANY
Champions Bayern Munich needed some Franck Ribery magic to end the Bundesliga season with a dramatic 4-3 win at Borussia Moenchengladbach as they prepare to face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final next week.
The Frenchman scored twice and set up another goal for Arjen Robben as Bayern came from two goals down to win and set more league records with their 91 points in total and just 18 conceded goals in 34 league matches.
Second-placed Dortmund, also in their Champions League final dress rehearsal, suffered a late meltdown, conceding two late goals as Hoffenheim staged a last-gasp relegation escape with a 2-1 victory, earning them a relegation playoff with second division side Kaiserslautern.
Bayer Leverkusen's Stefan Kiessling finished top of the scorers' list after notching his 25th goal of the season in the 90th minute for a 1-0 win at Hamburg SV, with his team set for Champions League action next season with a third place finish.
Schalke 04 beat Freiburg 2-1 to grab fourth place and a Champions League qualifying spot, with their opponents settling for the Europa League along with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Promoted Fortuna Dusseldorf slumped to a 3-0 defeat to Hanover 96 to tumble back down along with already-relegated Greuther Fuerth.
