Pizarro kicks Off Bayern Celebrations

Pizarro kicks Off Bayern Celebrations

The Bavarians started the title party in the Allianz Arena after they beat Huub Stevens' side in the last day of the season.

Claudio Pizarro's stoppage-time strike ensured Bayern Munich finished their Bundesliga campaign with a 1-0 win over Stuttgart.

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 they had secured months before.

The hosts dominated at the Allianz Arena throughout and were almost kept out by Stuttgart, who toiled manfully and regularly dropped 10 men behind the ball in a rigid defensive effort.

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.

Stuttgart, whose safety was assured last week, created little going forward and have now lost 11 consecutive matches to Bayern in all competitions.
