One club has dominated it, which makes the seasons they lost it far more interesting.
The Bundesliga is the most predictable of the big five leagues and, because of that, the one where the exceptions carry the most weight. A newly promoted club has won it. It has been lost on the final day by a club that led for most of the season. And it has been clinched with a record number of matchdays to spare, more than once.
The clinching itself is the most consistently interesting detail. Because the margin is so often large, the title is frequently settled in March or early April, and the matchday number is a cleaner measure of dominance than the points total — the winner tends to ease off once it is mathematically done, which flatters the chasing pack in the final table.
