The 36 teams from the first two tiers of German soccer competition had a virtual meeting on Tuesday on which they devised a pathway to letting fans back at the stands. The final decision, however, will depend on the health situation in the country as well as the approval of regional and local authorities.

According to the plan, the fans would not be allowed to drink during games or watch the action on standing sections of the stadium. Also, only home fans would be allowed on games until the end of the year, in order to minimize the health and safety risks that come as a result of traveling and overcrowding. The attendance numbers will be determined provisionally by each club.

Prior to this, Borussia Monchengladbach opened their training ground for fans for the first time since March. The club allowed 300 fans to attend while requiring each of them to wear a mask and hold the proper distance.

Germany is set to kick off the 2020/21 season in early September with Cup games. Bundesliga, on the other hand, will begin on September 18th.

While Bayern Munich secured the title several weeks ago, Bundesliga remained entertaining until the very end. This was thanks to the fact that the final UEFA Champions League participant and teams heading to 2. Bundesliga were still undetermined.

At the top, Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig already secured their Champions League tickets, but Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen were still aiming for the last one. Monchengladbach needed the win against Hertha Berlin in order to get the spot, while Leverkusen could get in with the win of their own and Monchengladbach’s draw or loss.

Leverkusen did their part, defeating Mainz 1-0, but it wasn’t enough at the end. Monchengladbach got the 2-1 win against Hertha and secured the 4th position with 65 points.

At the bottom, it was Werder Bremen and Fortuna Dusseldorf trying to get to No.16 and secure a chance to stay in the Bundesliga. Fortuna entered the final matchday with an upper leg, needing only to draw in order to secure the position. However, they suffered a tough 3-0 loss to Union Berlin and will receive an automatic relegation since Werder trashed Koln with 6-1.

Werder will now face Heidenheim, third-place team in 2.Bundesliga, in a playoff game that will determine who will play in Germany’s top division next summer.

Among other curiosities, Bundesliga’s final matchday saw Bayern’s Thomas Muller set a new assist record. Muller finished the season with 21 assists, after setting up Kingsley Coman for the opening goal in the 0-4 win against Wolfsburg.

Also, Timo Werner scored twice in his final game with RB Leipzig before leaving for the Premier League side Chelsea. Werner climbed to 95 goals for Leipzig, which made him club’s all-time leading goalscorer.

Their road to victory widened the gap between Bayern Munich and second-place Borussia Dortmund to ten points, making it impossible for the runners-up to catch up to the champions in what is left of the season.

Robert Lewandowski’s 43rd-minute goal, which came after a sublime pass from Jerome Boateng to the Polish striker in the box, was enough to mark the difference between the Bavarians and Werder Bremen, which is currently in relegation positions.

Bayern Munich got a bit of a scare in the second half when left-back Alphonso Davies was shown a red card in the 79th minute of the match. Legendary keeper Manuel Neuer denied Werder Bremen of an equalizer with a spectacular one-handed save to clinch the title for his team.

The last time that a team other than Bayern Munich won the German league was all the way back in the 2011-12 campaign when Borussia Dortmund took home the title. This Bundesliga crown is the 29th for Bayern Munich since the reunification of the German league in the 1960s.

Now, the team’s focus and attention will turn to the August return of the Champions League, a title that they last won in 2013.
