In celebration, the best player in the world from last season passed a team of runners in front of the bench and paid tribute to the German idol by showing a shirt underneath that read “4Ever Gerd” (“Forever, Gerd”).

Bayern, an early champion since last weekend, allowed Freiburg to draw twice. Shortly after Lewandowski’s goal, 29, German defender Goldie equalized. At the start of the second half, Sanet left Munich ahead again, at eight. But Gunther gave the final numbers for the match, at 36.

The draw left Bayern Munich with 75 points. Freiburg adds 30 less. With 45, he has no chance of qualifying for the European Championships next season and is not at risk of relegation.
