In the German championship on Saturday, the final matches of the XXXIV round took place.
The champions of the "Bundesliga", the players of Dortmund's "Borussia", in front of their own fans, defeated Frankfurt's "Eintracht" team with a score of 3-1.
It is worth mentioning that in this match, the hosts failed to convert a penalty kick twice - both Lucas Barrios and Dede missed the target.
In addition to the "Borussia" club, Leverkusen's "Bayer" and Munich's "Bayern" will participate in the next season's UEFA Champions League tournament. However, the latter will still have to overcome the knockout rounds.

Relegated to the lower division of the country are the teams of Hamburg's "St. Pauli" and "Eintracht", while the players of "Gladbach" will have to play two playoff matches to secure their place in the "Bundesliga" competition.
