robert levin and thomas miller from suspension for the visit braman. open their opponents from. iraq in their attack like a finishing touch. and ending from brainerd. great the league leader it looked as though by and we're in for a long night as the rain began lashing down. until just before half time when he popped up so does. the problem 1st goal of the league season put there trying to within touching distance. perfect allowing love and don't keep what he does. the 2nd half was uneventful until alfonso daly picked up a 2nd booking leading by a man down brain and then felt they should have had a penalty shot from sergeant you're wrong. about the referee waved

away their protest. time running out manuel neuer came to the rescue to secure the win for brian and. many of the players it was just the many championships so. it was the 1st and while the rest of the late may be tired of watching it by and are celebrating once again but so by in our champions again with me here in the studio for use. only here we are again it sounds like the same old story in this league was a walk in the park for buying this season not at all in fact back in november by in munich way crisis they've had a poor start to the season culminating in a 51 hammering from frankfurt after which the coach at the time you just had to go he was replaced by hand the flick a man who had no experience as a head coach in the bundesliga and at that point a lot of teams were smelling blood

a lot of teams thought this is our year to wrestle the title off of bye and munich but after a shaky start to flex rein they put together an incredible run of form 17 wins in their last 18 games something just nobody can put up with a turn on the consistency. as well as the style and i think after the win over dortmund a few weeks back it was clear that the title was going to be staying in munich for another year at least so an incredible run after a shaky start as you say who were the key feet is in triumph absolutely have to look at. the strike 31 goals he's now scored this season scoring at a right of a goal again and another goal another win against braman to secure the title i just don't think by and could have done it without him but we have to give a lot of praise as well to me because as i said he came in we have no reputation or no experience as a head coach in germany and yet he got this group of players this one everything and what was some of the biggest names in football to trust him and trust his plan

that is something that is not easy at this level and he fully deserved the contract extension that he signed. to crystal ball for us. just one champion can you see that changing next season or it's difficult you know this is the question we get us there every year isn't it at the moment i think credit to dortmund this season they have looked good in stages and with holland being there for the full campaign next year they've got a chance. to look good too if they can keep their team together they look promising but frankly if by and keep going with the kind of form that they've shown since december i just don't think anybody will be able to keep pace with them then it will be another year of the title staying in munich all right all the media from sports thank you now to a real success story of breeding santa in ecuador tasca beach saving the giant galapagos tortoise from extinction after hundreds of tortoises were bred did this species is thriving again in the wild the center is now putting its last tortoises
