Harry Kane on target again as Bayern end season with easy win at Hoffenheim
Substitute Kane completed the scoring four minutes from time to bring down the curtain on a campaign in which he celebrated the first silverware of his career.
Michael Olise, Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry put Bayern in control of Thomas Muller's last game for the club.
Xabi Alonso's final match as Bayer Leverkusen manager ended in an action-packed 2-2 draw at sixth-placed Mainz.
Patrik Schick's quick-fire double turned the match in Leverkusen's favour following Paul Nebel's first-half opener before Jonathan Burkardt's penalty brought the hosts level.
Alonso, who is reportedly set to take over at Real Madrid, could easily have had his farewell outing ruined as Mainz, who qualified for the Conference League, had four goals disallowed.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund will join Bayern and runners-up Leverkusen in the Champions League next term.
Goals from Ansgar Knauff, Rasmus Kristensen and Ellyes Skhiri secured third-placed Frankfurt a 3-1 win at Europa League-bound Freiburg, who ended fifth.
Dortmund snatched fourth spot by defeating 10-man Holstein Kiel 3-0 thanks to a Serhou Guirassy penalty and strikes from Marcel Sabitzer and Felix Nmecha.
Heidenheim will contest the relegation play-off after finishing 16th following a 4-1 thrashing by Werder Bremen, while bottom club Bochum, who – like Kiel – were already relegated, won 2-0 at St Pauli courtesy of Myron Boadu's brace.
Elsewhere, Stuttgart defeated RB Leipzig 3-2, Wolfsburg secured a 1-0 success at Borussia Monchengladbach and Union Berlin won 2-1 away to Augsburg.

Spurs' Mikey Moore aiming for another European trophy with England Under-19s
Mikey Moore is excited to show new Tottenham boss Thomas Frank what he can do – but the teenager's immediate focus is ending an unforgettable breakthrough campaign with another European trophy. Having made his Spurs debut at the end of the last season, the highly-rated 17-year-old kicked on and showed glimpses of his outstanding potential during a topsy-turvy campaign in north London. Moore made 19 appearances in all competitions for his boyhood club, with five of those coming in a Europa League campaign that ended with Tottenham beating Manchester United to win a first trophy since 2008. The winger was on the bench in Bilbao and three weeks on has more continental glory in his sights as England kick-off their bid for Under-19 European Championship glory against Norway on Saturday. 'It was a top experience – some of the best times of my life on that Wednesday night,' Moore told the PA news agency. 'Hopefully going on to win another medal and another trophy with these boys here would be a brilliant feeling, and experience for everyone. 'There's some top players. We think we can go on and hopefully win the tournament. It's been a good little build-up but excited to get into the games now.' England have been preparing for their shot at Under-19s glory in Romania over the past week, when it was confirmed Brentford boss Frank would be succeeding Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham manager. 'With Ange, I'm thankful to him,' Moore said. 'He gave me an opportunity to go and show people what I could do. 'Now I'm just excited to get back and hopefully go and impress the new manager. Try and show what I can do, really. 'I started away at Brentford, where obviously he was in charge, and I've played against his team before. 'I've heard that he's a good man and he's a good manager. One of the boys here (with the Under-19s) works under him and says good things about him, so I'm just excited to get going under him, really.' Frank is sure to be an interested observer as Moore looks to help England win the Under-19 Euros for the third time. The 17-year-old could be one of the stars of the tournament judging by some of his Spurs displays, with team-mate James Maddison likening him to Neymar after October's Europa League win against AZ Alkmaar. Moore went on to become the youngest Englishman to score a major European goal, breaking a record held by Jimmy Greaves since 1957, with his superb goal against Elfsborg in January, but there have also been some difficult moments. 'When I look back on the season, when I go back to (last) pre-season I didn't ever expect to be in the position I was halfway through the season,' Moore said. 'But obviously it wasn't all great, it didn't all go to plan. I think there were certain parts in the season where I've not struggled, but had down moments. 'But when I look back on it it's been a massive learning year for me, and it's obviously come to an end now almost, and we came out successful. It's a season I will always look back on and be proud of.'

Juventus hand manager Tudor two-year contract extension
June 13 (Reuters) - Juventus manager Igor Tudor's contract has been renewed for two more years ahead of the start of their Club World Cup campaign, the Serie A club announced on Friday. Damien Comolli, the club's new general manager, said on Tuesday that they had faith in the Croatian coach who was handed the reins fewer than three months ago. Tudor joined in March after the dismissal of Thiago Motta, with Juve eliminated from all cup competitions and outside Serie A's top four. Under Tudor, they lost just one more league match, securing fourth spot to qualify for the Champions League. "Tudor has committed to our club until June 30, 2027 - with an option on 2028 – and will also lead the men's first team in the coming seasons, starting with the first official competition to be staged in the United States, the Club World Cup," the Turin outfit said in a statement. Juventus face Emirati side Al-Ain in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, followed by clashes against Morocco's Wydad AC and Manchester City in Group G.

Arne Slot delivers on his Liverpool promise with Florian Wirtz statement signing
The football world knew it was coming some while ago but confirmation that Florian Wirtz will be playing for Liverpool next season should still send a stark warning to their Premier League rivals. Make no mistake, this is a statement signing. A few weeks ago, Arne Slot told a few of us that he was looking to add 'an extra weapon' to his squad. Well, Wirtz is a footballing Swiss Army knife. He has a multitude of ways to unlock opposition defences. The fee is quite spectacular. And some have pointed out that the maximum spend of £116million on the 22-year-old is in excess of the total being paid by Manchester City for Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki. There are several reasons why that is largely irrelevant, one of them being that Liverpool are selectively adding to their squad from a base of great strength. Remarkably, in their season without a trophy, it suddenly looked as though Pep Guardiola had a squad that almost needed a complete rebuild. Hence the handful of January signings and the early summer captures. This is not minor tinkering to Pep's personal, this is an overhaul. Slot, on the other hand - helped by an injury list that was never too severe - ran a well-oiled machine. While the likes of, say, Cherki, Ait-Nouri and Reijnders are high-quality players, are they better than what Liverpool already have? Probably not. But Wirtz, with his versatile brilliance, almost certainly is. If you have just won the self-styled best league in the world by ten points and you want to improve your team, then it normally costs top dollar. That they spent next to nothing last summer helps, but it is still a testament to Fenway Sports Group's ambitions that they are backing Slot with this sort of financial muscle. And it is a statement from Slot to the players that provided him with a Premier League title in his first season in England. In the same interview in which he spoke about finding 'an extra weapon', Slot was also asked if he had any regrets from that brilliant first campaign. There were not many, of course, but he did wonder if the Champions League campaign might have been different had he felt empowered to rotate more. The acquisition of Jeremie Frimpong and the impending arrival of Wirtz and, almost certainly, Milos Kerkez, will give him more rotation options next season. And you can be almost certain that the recruitment will not stop there, even if there might be one or two outgoings to satisfy the accountants. Wirtz will have been assured of Liverpool's long-term ambitions, that is for sure. Wirtz was sold a vision by Slot, a vision that was more impressive than the one given by Vincent Kompany and Bayern Munich. And that is why this is just not a statement signing for Liverpool … it is a statement signing for Slot himself.
