Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich ended their season with a 1-0 win over Stuttgart courtesy of a stoppage-time strike from Claudio Pizarro.

The hosts, who secured the league title several weeks ago, dominated the first period, with Mario Mandzukic, Thomas Muller and Bastian Schweinsteiger all coming close to opening the scoring.

Stuttgart may have already secured their top-flight status before kickoff, but they created a handful of chances themselves, coming closest early on when Arthur Boka let fly from outside the box, forcing a save out of Manuel Neuer.

It was a similar story in the second period, with Bayern controlling the match but struggling to find a breakthrough, and Stuttgart looking capable of stunning them on the break.

The away side's best chance of causing an upset went begging in the 72nd minute when Cacau gained possession in the area following a corner, but failed to trouble Neuer between the Bayern sticks.

Late opportunities fell to Arjen Robben and David Alaba, neither of whom could find a way past Stuttgart goalkeeper Sven Ulreich, leaving it to substitute Pizarro to end Bayern's season on a high.

The Peruvian striker fired home from outside the box in the second minute of injury time to give the hosts a 1-0 victory and kickstart their title-winning celebrations.
