The final round of the Bundesliga this Saturday (16) decided the last team to qualify for the Champions League and the teams going directly down to the second division.
The most dramatic match of the day was the direct showdown at the bottom of the table between Wolfsburg and St. Pauli. Whoever lost would leave the pitch relegated.
The Wolves only needed a draw to survive and won 3-1.
As a result, St. Pauli and Heidenheim will play in the 2. Bundesliga next season.
Wolfsburg still need to go through the playoff against the third-placed team from the second division to determine their future.
Meanwhile, Stuttgart did their job and secured fourth place in the table and a spot in the next edition of the Champions League.
See below for the final Bundesliga standings and details from the last round of matches:
Champions League: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Leipzig, Stuttgart
Europa League: Hoffenheim, Bayer Leverkusen
Conference League: Freiburg
Playoff: Wolfsburg
Relegated: St. Pauli, Heidenheim
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Stuttgart
Stuttgart only depended on themselves to qualify for the Champions League and went 2-0 up in the first half.
Eintracht were still dreaming of a Conference League spot and fought back to level the match with two penalty goals.
In the end, it was Stuttgart who secured qualification for the European competition.
Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim could still qualify for the Champions League with a win.
But that possibility quickly faded, with Borussia Mönchengladbach going 2-0 up in less than 25 minutes.
Tim Lemperle was also sent off in the opening seconds of the second half, leaving Hoffenheim a man down.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Hamburg
Bayer Leverkusen also took the field with slim chances of reaching the Champions League.
But the team failed to do its part and drew with Hamburg.
St. Pauli vs Wolfsburg
The most dramatic match of the day, with both teams fighting to avoid relegation.
Wolfsburg did their part and won 3-1, sending St. Pauli down.
Heidenheim vs Mainz
Heidenheim needed a win to complete a spectacular finish to the season and avoid relegation.
But the visiting side quickly ended their survival hopes and went into halftime already two goals ahead.
Bayern Munich vs Cologne
Bayern's incredible attack passed the 120-goal mark in the Bundesliga, an average of more than 3.5 per match.
The record for goals in a single league season belonged to Bayern themselves, with 101 scored by the 1971/72 team.
Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund
Neither team took the field with much at stake in the table.
Guirassy and Brazilian Yan Couto scored the goals in the match, both in the second half.
