Bayern Munich Win 2015-16 Bundesliga: Highlights, Reaction, Breakdown of Season

Bayern Munich were crowned Bundesliga champions for the fourth successive year on Saturday after they beat Ingolstadt 2-1, manager Pep Guardiola lifting the title in every season he's spent at the Allianz Arena.

They picked up the trophy with a game to spare, having failed to win on just six occasions in the league this season and boasting by far the best defence with only 16 goals conceded throughout the entire campaign.

So did Thomas Muller, via DW Sports:

Their celebrations may not just end here, as the club will compete against Borussia Dortmund, who pushed Bayern at the top this season, in the DFB-Pokal final on May 21.

Unsurprisingly, Bayern also sit top of the charts for possession and passing statistics, with WhoScored.com reporting they have averaged an incredible 66.9 per cent of possession in the Bundesliga this season and maintained a passing accuracy of 88.4 per cent.

Key to their efforts has been the goalscoring of duo Robert Lewandowski and Muller, who have racked up an incredible 50 goals between them in the German top flight this year. Here are some of their highlights:

Lewandowski's five-goal haul in just nine minutes against Wolfsburg in September will live long in the memory, not only as a stunning, record-breaking achievement but also the context in which it came.

When the Pole came on as a half-time substitute, his side were 1-0 down to the then-unbeaten visitors—who finished as runners-up in the Bundesliga last season—thanks to Daniel Caligiuri's 26th-minute strike.

Lewandowski not only played a key role in salvaging the result but also helped inflict an early, morale-sapping defeat on a potential title rival. Here are his goals:

While he had started the season in reasonably strong form—he netted three times in Bayern's first six matches in all competitions—the performance sparked an incredible goalscoring run that saw him net seven times in his next three matches, and he has scarcely stopped finding the net since.

Two league matches later, Bayern grabbed an even more important result, when they faced off against Dortmund for the first time in the campaign.

BVB had yet to taste defeat under Thomas Tuchel and scored 45 goals in his 15 matches in charge, but Bayern well and truly put them in their place with a 5-1 thrashing that opened up a seven-point lead over their rivals.

Lewandowski bagged a brace, and Muller also netted in the win:

The gap was one they more or less maintained until immediately before they took on Dortmund in the second Klassiker of the season in March.

Bayern's 2-1 defeat to Mainz in the previous game helped BVB reduce the deficit to five points—a gap they could have closed to just two had they beaten the Bavarians at Westfalenstadion.

In Roman Burki, Bayern came up against a goalkeeper who would not be beaten:

Fortunately for the visitors, Manuel Neuer also put in a strong performance, making two good stops from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and the sides were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw.

While a victory for Bayern would have likely seen them win the league even earlier, maintaining the status quo at a healthy five points was vital to avoiding undue pressure and claiming the title.

With Guardiola heading to Manchester City this summer, Carlo Ancelotti who faces the task of making it five league titles in a row next season.

The Italian has won just three league titles in his 17 years of management—arguably a blemish on his record considering he has managed Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid—but he is an excellent coach who will inherit an outstanding squad.

Dortmund will likely be on hand to challenge once more as they develop under Tuchel, but Bayern will undoubtedly be the team to beat.
