Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel conceded that the Bundesliga title race is over after his side's 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund.
The Bavarians lost to their rivals in Der Klassiker on Saturday, leaving the side 13 points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
Leverkusen also kept their unbeaten record going with a come-from-behind win over Hoffenheim earlier in the day.

“Obviously, yes. After today’s game there is no more need to count points," Tuchel said, as per the Guardian.
"How many is it now? Congratulations to Leverkusen.
“We are very disappointed because we felt we did not bring the necessary passion to win the game.
"It was too little from us when it came to the basics.”
Tuchel was also not happy with the officials missing a handball for Karim Adeyemi's goal in the tenth minute.
"We've seen penalties like that given. It was a terrible decision, a wrong decision," said Tuchel.
"It was a decisive and key moment. There's a high probability that it (a penalty) would have brought us back into the game."
