Bayern stars say farewell

Bayern, who had already wrapped up their ninth consecutive Bundesliga title, said goodbye to their manager and a number of star players who will leave this summer.

Hansi Flick was appointed in November 2019 and claimed the Champions League, two Bundesliga titles, the German Cup, Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup during his spell in charge.

David Alaba and Javi Martinez are soon out of contract and both played their final games for the side, as did Jerome Boateng - who left the field in tears when he was replaced on the hour mark.

But the day belonged to Lewandowski, who was repeatedly thwarted by Augsburg keeper Rafal Gikiewicz, However, there was one last dramatic twist when Gikiewicz failed to hold a Leroy Sane strike, and Lewandowski pounced to round the keeper and slot home his 41st league goal of the campaign to seal a 5-2 win for the champions.

The striker took his shirt off in celebration before coming to the side of the pitch to embrace the departing Flick.

Bayern took the lead through Jeffrey Gouweleeuw's own goal and doubled their lead courtesy of Serge Gnabry's header from close range.

Neuer saved Daniel Caligiuri's penalty and Bayern scored two more before half-time through Joshua Kimmich's long-range thunderbolt and Kingsley Coman's low drive.

Augsburg pulled two goals back via Andre Hahn's thumping header and Florian Niederlechner's cool finish before Lewandowski netted his record-breaking strike.
