adminBERLIN. — Bayern Munich could be crowned German soccer league champions in record time today if they win at Mainz 05. Pep Guardiola’s Bayern hold an enormous 23-point lead and victory would give them the title providing rivals Borussia Dortmund fail to win at Hanover and Schalke do not beat bottom side Eintracht Braunschweig at home.
Should Bayern wrap up a 24th German league title at Mainz, they will do so with eight games to spare, breaking their own record of six, set last season.
No side has ever been crowned German champions in March and Bayern are bidding to become the first team to go through an entire Bundesliga campaign unbeaten.
