Today, Saturday, the Bundesliga came to a close with a unified matchday that left us, among other things, with a Borussia Dortmund that will play in the Champions League again next season.
The yellows needed to win by 2 or more goals against Kiel at home, a team already relegated, and did not fail with a 3-0 victory that allows them to finish fourth ahead of Freiburg.
It is precisely Freiburg that has been harmed by this Bundesliga closure.
Their 1-3 defeat at home against Eintracht leaves them without a Champions League spot in a final matchday where they depended on themselves. The victory of the Eagles makes Frankfurt the team that finishes the season third, certifying their return to the Champions League.
With Freiburg fifth in the Europa League, the great joy of the day was taken by Mainz.
The team from the city of Gutenberg achieved a valuable 2-2 draw against Bayer Xabi Alonso, which allowed them to certify their qualification for Europe, leaving RB Leipzig out of Europe.
The energy drink team returned to fail in their last duel as locals and ended up as the most disappointing team of the entire season, finishing the season in seventh place, leaving them without European competitions.
With relegation already confirmed, the important thing in the lower part of the matchday was disputed for the promotion spot.
Heidenheim needed a miracle to get out of that spot and could not consume it.
The modest team was thrashed at their stadium against Werder Bremen and will have to wait to certify whether they will stay in the Bundesliga for another season.
The relegated clubs, already before the matchday, were Kiel and Bochum.
FC Bayern thrashed their last match of the season 0-4 to put the finishing touch on their great national year.
The match became Thomas Muller's farewell, who despite not scoring, took a well-deserved tribute.
