Bayern Munich were crowned champions of Germany for the seventh successive season with a crushing last-day victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Bayern MunichNiko Kovac's side, who trailed leaders Borussia Dortmund by nine points after 12 games, needed only a draw to secure a 29th Bundesliga title.
Kingsley Coman opened the scoring before Sebastien Haller equalised.
David Alaba, Renato Sanches, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben made sure of Bayern's victory at the Allianz Arena.
They finished two points ahead of Dortmund, who won 2-0 at Borussia Monchengladbach thanks to goals from England winger Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus.

It was fitting end to Bayern's season as legends Robben and Ribery scored in what proved to be a procession to the title.
The pair - with 22 Bundesliga seasons, 185 goals and 15 titles between them - started from the bench alongside full-back Rafinha, who will also leave this summer.
By the time Robben and Ribery came on, Bayern were 3-1 up.
France midfielder Coman slid a shot past Kevin Trapp in the fourth minute of a torrid game for the Germany keeper, who faced 22 efforts on goal.
Despite Bayern's dominance, substitute Haller fired in from close range five minutes into the second half.
With Dortmund leading at Monchengladbach, it still meant Kovac's side would win the title, but only on goal difference.
However, any nerves were steadied when Alaba tapped in after Trapp failed to hold Thomas Muller's shot, before substitute Sanches scored from a tight angle.
The first huge cheer of the match came when Ribery scored the game's best goal 11 minutes after coming on.
The 36-year-old ran into the area from the left corner, swivelled past two defenders and dinked a shot past Trapp. It was his 86th league goal for Bayern.
Robben completed the rout and brought the home support to their feet once more when he tapped home from Alaba's square ball.
Bayern players embraced Robben, Ribery and Sanches at the end of the match and they were given the honour of lifting the Meisterschale trophy by captain Manuel Neuer.
Bayern can complete the domestic double when they face RB Leipzig in the DFB Pokal final on 25 May.

Zverev outlasts Jarry in thrilling final to clinch Geneva Open title

Germany's Alexander Zverev did his French Open preparations a world of good by beating Chile's Nicolas Jarry 6-3 3-6 7-6(8) in a difficult, rain-hit final at the Geneva Open on Sunday. Top seed Zverev, looking for his first title win on clay since clinching the Italian Open last year, had endured a disappointing season so far and had not won a title since the ATP Finals in London in November. The 22-year-old did not have it easy, taking two hours and 35 minutes to eventually get the better of his unseeded opponent in a match where both players had numerous match points. Two rain delays added to the drama. Zverev was not as his best with eight double faults punctuating his victory, five of which came in the final set, and he converted only one of 12 break points over the course of the match. Jarry, who beat Zverev in Barcelona on the same surface in a three-setter last month, fired six aces to Zverev's thre...
