In his debut season, Guardiola has now won three titles in nine months after last August’s UEFA Super Cup triumph and December’s Club World Cup success.
Bayern’s 19th consecutive Bundesliga win secured the 24th German league title of their history, and the victory at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium was never in doubt after they raced into a 2-0 lead with just 15 minutes gone.
Bayern have also taken one game off their own record, set last season, for the earliest confirmed league win. Midfielder Toni Kroos slammed home an early strike before Mario Goetze headed their second to set the Bavarian giants on their way to collecting all three points.
Hertha’s Colombia striker Adrian Ramos netted a penalty before France winger Franck Ribery came off the bench to net a superb third.
With seven games left, Bayern have an unassailable 25-point lead from second-placed Dortmund, although in truth the title race has been over for weeks already.
Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is eyeing a defence of last season’s treble after the Bavarian giants won the Bundesliga title in record time.
‘What Jupp Heynckes did last year is unique in history and is very difficult to do, but we will try it, of course,’ said the 43-year-old said.
‘We can always improve. In every game,’ said Guardiola. ‘We must try and keep a high level over a longer period of time.’
Guardiola’s first domestic title at Bayern earned him praise from Germany head coach Joachim Loew. Bayern face Man United next.
