MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Bayern Munich on Saturday earned their ninth consecutive Bundesliga title after RB Leipzig's 3-2 loss at Borussia Dortmund and their own later 6-0 demolition of Borussia Moenchengladbach that put them 10 points clear with two games left to play.

While the Bavarians claimed their 31st German league title and their 30th Bundesliga crown since the introduction of the top division in 1963, they had to work harder for it than in past seasons.
