Bayern Munich emerge Bundesliga champions as 2 stars bow out in style

- Bayern Munich defeat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 to retain Bundesliga for the seventh time

- The Allianz Arena outfit edged Borussia Dortmund with a point to clinch the title

- Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben featured and scored in their last games for the Bavarians

Bayern Munich sealed their seventh straight Bundesliga title following a 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at the Allianz Arena.

Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben played their last game for the German club after their respective colorful careers.

The Frenchman and the Dutchman were both on target after coming on as substitutes in the second half and added to Bayern's 3-1 lead.

Kingsley Coman had sent the home crowd into frenzy with his strike inside four minutes but, after Serge Gnabry's goal was ruled out by the VAR, Sebastien Haller levelled for the scores for Frankfurt.

David Alaba responded ruthlessly before Renato Sanches scored his first goal for the club, and Ribery turned home Joshua Kimmich's assist in the 72nd minute to make it 4-1.

Robben was on hand to apply the finishing touch on a clinical Bayern move to end his ten-year career with the Bavarians with a 5-1 win and a league title.

Borussia Dortmund, who threw away a nine-point lead from their rival, needed to win at Borussia Monchengladbach and hope Frankfurt beat Byaern at the Allianz.

Jadon Sancho scored the opener with a volley and Marco Reus ensured a 2-0 win, but their efforts were in vain, giving the Bayern title.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
