MUNICH - Bayern Munich finally celebrated winning its 24th German championship on Saturday after the last Bundesliga game of the season.
Joel Bitonio Jersey . Club captain Philipp Lahm lifted the championship shield to kick off the party in a sea of red and white confetti, after Claudio Pizarros injury time strike secured a 1-0 win over Stuttgart. The traditional wheat-beer showers followed with Pep Guardiola, in particular, singled out for attention by his jubilant players. The former Barcelona coach helped Bayern defend its title with a record seven games to spare in his first season in charge. The effects of the beer showers took their toll on Guardiola when he dropped the championship shield. "Its very nice but its heavy," he said, referring to the 11-kilo trophy. Around 15,000 fans later greeted the side at Marienplatz in the city centre for the presentation of the league trophy from the town hall balcony, following traditional title celebrations. Wearing Bavarian leather trousers like his players, Guardiola told enthusiastic supporters, "I am very proud of this team and we are very proud of you. I love you. Im a Muenchener (person from Munich). Mia san mia!" The party was expected to last long into the night. "You have to celebrate victories and titles," said Bayern sporting director Matthias Sammer, who didnt want to set any limits, despite Bayerns German Cup final clash with Borussia Dortmund in Berlin next Saturday.

Darren Fells Jersey . The game had many controversial incidents that, upon closer inspection, were not as controversial as many believed. The Formations Toronto FC lined up in its usual 4-4-2 formation, with Nick Hagglund slotting in at right fullback and Bradley Orr at centreback in place of the injured Mark Bloom and Steven Caldwell, respectively.Cristiano Ronaldo took centre stage in Real Madrids Champions League win over Atletico Madrid, but can he lead Portugal to glory at Euro 2016? Cristiano Ronaldo rarely passes up an opportunity to take the limelight but he wasnt present when Portugal faced England at Wembley in a tournament warm-up. Let me rest my legs, he said after capping another extraordinary season with Real Madrid by clinching Champions League success at the San Siro. Few could begrudge him a couple of days off.The 2015/16 campaign was the sixth in a row in which he has scored over 50 goals for the club, and his winning penalty in the shoot-out against Atletico ensured it ended with all eyes on him. Fate has a way of aligning with Ronaldo, and, just like in Lisbon two years ago, his shirtless celebration became the defining image of Reals European coronation. As Portugal prepare to start their Euro 2016 campaign, a reminder of Cristiano Ronaldos brilliant La Liga season Ronaldo converted the decisive penalty in the Champions League final The celebrations have died down and Ronaldos brief period of recuperation is over, and now his attention is firmly fixed on Portugals opening game against Iceland in St Etienne on June 12.Ronaldo is in France knowing it could be his last shot at European Championship glory. He counts three Champions League medals and three Ballon dOr awards in his personal trophy collection, but international silverware has eluded him. As he approaches the twilight of his career and ponders his legacy, he will be desperate to put that right. Ronaldos record Cristiano Ronaldo is Portugals all-time leading scorer with 56 goals and he is only two appearances short of Luis Figos record of 127. Ronaldo has a long, colourful relationship with the competition. It served to kickstart his international career when Portugal hosted Euro 2004. The Manchester United teenager scored twice and converted a penalty in Portugals shoot-out victory over England on their route to the final, but their shock defeat to Greece that year remains the closest he has come to lifting the trophy. Ronaldo in tears after Portugals Euro 2004 final defeat to Greece Euro 2008 - played to a backdrop of constant speculation surrounding his £80m move to Real Madrid - was Ronaldos most disappointing tournament. There was a goal in a group stage win over the Czech Republic, but a costly defensive lapse in the quarter-finals allowed Miroslav Klose to give Germany a 2-0 first-half llead, and he was unable to make his mark on the encounter as Portugal slipped to a 3-2 defeat.
E.J. Gaines Jersey. Four years later, Ronaldo went to Poland and Ukraine on the back of a record-breaking 60-goal season with Madrid. Portugal were drawn in a group of death with Germany, Netherlands and Denmark, but he propelled them into the last eight with a scintillating two-goal display against the Dutch.Ronaldo delivered another match-winning performance as Portugal edged out the Czechs to reach the last four, but he was unable to find a way through against Spain. After 120 goalless minutes in Donetsk, Ronaldos preference to be the fifth penalty taker backfired, with Cesc Fabregas converting Spains winner before he even had the chance to step up. Ronaldo did not take a penalty as Portugal were beaten by Spain in 2012 This summer, Ronaldo can become the first player to score in four separate European Championships. He is out to banish the demons of the past, but he no longer has youth on his side, and he is shouldering more responsibility than ever after Portugals efficient but uninspiring qualifying campaign.Portugal achieved qualification from Group I with seven consecutive one-goal victories after losing their opener against Albania without the injured Ronaldo. They scored just 1.4 goals per game compared to Englands 3.1, Germanys 2.4 and Spains 2.3, and their average of five shots on target per game was lower than Israel, Russia and Ukraine. Euro 2016: Ultimate guide We profile all 24 teams in action at Euro 2016, looking at their key men and chances of success. Ronaldo netted five of Portugals 11 goals, with no other player scoring more than two. A shortage of top-class striking options is hardly a new issue for Portugal, but the days of Nuno Gomes, Hugo Almeida and Helder Postiga dont look so dismal now. Postiga scored five times in Euro 2012 qualifying. Nuno Gomes hit three on their way to Euro 2008. All of them scored at major tournaments.For Euro 2016, the only out-and-out striker in Portugals squad is Eder, who has never scored in a qualifying match - let alone an actual tournament. The 28-year-old has only netted twice in 24 appearances since his international debut in 2012, and he failed to find the net in 15 games for Swansea in the first half of last season. Ronaldo has captained Portugal since 2008 Portugal boss Fernando Santos will hope for goalscoring support from Nani and Ricardo Quaresma, but that duo have combined for just five goals in 35 appearances with club and country since January. Its not exactly cause for optimism, and it all adds up to near total dependence on Ronaldo.A Euro 2016 group containing Hungary, Iceland and Austria could hardly have been more favourable, but dragging Portugal all the way to the trophy would arguably rank as his greatest achievement. The spotlight is on Ronaldo again. This time, his task looks tougher than ever.Follow Portugal v Iceland - and every game at Euro 2016 - with our live blog on skysports.com and the Sky Sports apps.
