The result leaves Bayer Leverkusen 13 points clear of Munich on the Bundesliga log.

Mathematically, Leverkusen now need just three more wins to be confirmed German champions for the first time in the club’s history.

Tuchel, also, has all but given up on retaining the title they won under dramatic circumstances last year.

He said: “Is the Bundesliga over? Yes. Definitely. Congratulations to Leverkusen.”

Tuchel is expected to depart the Allianz Arena this summer.
