Bundesliga: Bayern Munich 1 Stuttgart 0

Pep Guardiola's men were crowned champions in late March, but have seen their form tail off in recent weeks, with Stuttgart looking all set to further Bayern for much of Saturday's match.

That was until Pizarro fired in a left-footed shot from the edge of the area with the last kick of the game, as Bayern put the seal on their title-winning season before being presented with the trophy afterwards.

Mario Mandzukic failed in his bid to become the Bundesliga's leading scorer ahead of Borussia Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski as he was denied by a combination of good goalkeeping and wayward finishing before limping out of action in the second half.

Pizarro, on as Mandzukic's replacement, was equally wasteful initially, blazing over the crossbar while unmarked in the 75th minute.

Despite the win, Bayern will have concerns over Mandzukic's fitness, while Bastian Schweinsteiger also sustained an injury and both players are now seemingly a doubt for the DFB-Pokal final against Dortmund next weekend.

The hosts felt they should have had a penalty shortly after the half-hour when Mandzukic's acrobatic volley cannoned off the arm of Gotoku Sakai, but referee Bastian Dankert awarded a corner only.

Mandzukic had hobbled off injured shortly beforehand and Pizarro wasted the clearest opening of the match with when he ballooned over the crossbar after being picked out by David Alaba's cutback with 15 minutes to go.
