a title decided the big battle was for 4th place champions league qualification the sponsor was birth to mention love baf to lose as they played had to berlin meanwhile 5th place later coups in hope that a glad slip up might let them sneak ahead in the table. leave because i'm big on the afternoon with arguably their best player on the bench midway so it was up to kevin for them to strike the right told. that he did just 2 minutes in the if you look at deflection setting him up for a cool finish at his temple of the season. but for liver coups and there was soon bad news from glad for the whole scott off the mark on 7 minutes was the last hoffman lost home after good work from below and below to make it one nil which is hopeless game stood at half time. it looked like leverkusen had turned up the heat

on blood back in the 2nd half. but fall and was denied a 2nd on 67 minutes when the video assistant referee spotted a photo in the build up. 10 minutes later and gladbach the hosts had 4th place so when i was at the oppressive kemble easy the nerves was. discovered a consolation go through captain feet out to be save it playing perhaps his last game for the club. because the result filtered through to liver couzin the disappointment was stark but they can comfort themselves with europa league qualification after a decent campaign. meanwhile celebrated their champions league spot as well as anyone could expect in an empty stadium and talking us through the action of the season's final match day is a little talky found it on his 4th to leave a hello to you all right so tell us what there was even to play for on match day

$34.00 did anybody care any more yeah there was so much to play for and that piece just kind of scratch at the top still the surface of it and that was of course a champions league spot but aside from the champions league spots we still have the europa league places to fight for and of course at the very bottom of the table it was all about survival i'm talking about relegation this was all about who stays up and who will go down and even these guys. right here behind me even by and munich you know they also have something at stake and for them it was reaching 100 goals which they did thanks to thomas something that they hadn't done since 1900 $72.00 and so plenty of plenty to play for but of course the bigger focus was the relegation battle all right wingers so tell us how did this relegation saga play out it was so dramatic i mean you had vertebrae men and dusseldorf both of them so desperate to want to lend that final relegation spot i call it sweet 16

and braman of course they needed a win and i've never seen them play the way that they did yesterday this is a team that struggled to squat all season and all over i mean they only had a handful of goals that they had scored at home until that point and then all of a sudden yesterday they ended up beating cologne 6 to one but of course they didn't do it alone because they also have to hope that there's a go off and guess what happened doesn't often lose because you know in berlin ended up beating it beating them. 3 nil so that means bye bye for a disabled off and vertebrae and of course they're not done yet all right so lots of drama vera and what about in the top 4 i mean which teams are going to be playing champions league football so joining by in munich and dortmund to are now safe and good luck and here too it was a very tight battle for 4th place between. and leverkusen

both of them one at the end both of them one day at their respective matches but. ended up with 65 points and leave our crews in with 63 so that means they have a cruise in have to settle for a europa league spot and i might as well here also point out a give a shout out to hoffenheim because thanks to andre comma i mean this is a completely different team with him on it and he ended up spanking but once he had thought more and with 4 goals and because of the. now they've seized a europa league spot so yeah it was a lot of exciting it was a really great final day to watch yesterday now lima i mean it's clear this was a very strange and to the bundesliga season because of the coronavirus pandemic no spectators the bonus legal was the 1st league to even come back to play what do you make of it just quickly thumbs up thumbs down was it i would say at the end some stop so the atmosphere of course didn't suffer because as we see right here we didn't have any fans but at the end it did not take away from the quality of the

football and at the end that's all that matters. is talking always great to speak to you thank you. and that's the latest on t w news this hour i'll be back in 45 minutes with another update for you american evanston for me and all of us here in berlin thanks for the company. were all set. to listen to. the stories that matter to. do. whatever it takes. to running. things.
