Champions Bayern unbeaten at home for first time in nine years

Bayern Munich have finished a Bundesliga season
without a defeat at home for the first time since the
2007-08 season.
Carlo Ancelotti's side defeated Freiburg 4-1 on the
final day to make it 13 wins and four draws from
their 17 games at the Allianz Arena in 2016-17.
The champions, who celebrated with the trophy
after the final whistle, have not gone without defeat
at home in a single top-flight season since Ottmar
Hitzfeld was in charge nine years ago.
It was also the 250th Bundesliga win for captain
Philipp Lahm who, alongside Xabi Alonso and Tom
Starke, played his final match before retirement.

The match, which was Bayern's 300th competitive
outing at the stadium, also saw one of their former
strikers break a Bundesliga record.
Nils Petersen struck Freiburg's goal to become the
most lethal substitute in the competition's history,
having now scored 19 times off the bench,
surpassing the tally set by another ex-Bayern man
Alexander Zickler.
