After setting the record last season by clinching the league title with six games to spare, Bayern have done one better this season, claiming the title with seven games left.
Pep Guardiola has completed the first required task for any Bayern Munich manager, winning the Bundesliga title. Thanks to their 3-1 victory over Hertha Berlin on Tuesday, Bayern will lift the league trophy for the 24th time in club history. It's Guardiola's first league title in Germany and his fourth title as a top flight league manager.

Bayern entered Wednesday's match needing only to win to claim their second straight title and the did just that against Hertha Berlin. Toni Kroos scored early and Mario Gotze added a goal of his own so when Hertha Berlin tallied from the spot in the second half, it wasn't enough to overcome Bayern's first half dominance. Then, just for fun, Franck Ribery scored on a gorgeous chip from a ridiculous angle to put a cherry on top of Bayern's title winning sundae.
It's Bayern's 19th straight league win, moving the club's unbeaten run to 52 games, both of which are records. This is the eight straight time that Bayern have clinched the Bundesliga away from home.
With the title wrapped up, Bayern can now focus on the defending their Champions League title. Their first order of business will be the first leg of their semifinal tie against Manchester United, scheduled for Tuesday, May 1st at Old Trafford in Manchester.
