VfB Stuttgart and Roberto Hilbert are Bundesliga Champions

Midfielder Sami Khedira was the hero as he hit the winning goal which gave VfB Stuttgart their first Bundesliga title for 15 years on Saturday after a 2-1 victory at home to Energie Cottbus. Having only re-claimed the Bundesliga's top spot the week before, Armin Veh's men came from a goal behind and held their nerve over Cottbus to pick up the valuable victory which gave them their third Bundesliga title. But there was some early drama at Stuttgart's Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion after Cottbus' Romanian midfielder Vlad Munteanu deflected his shot past diving home goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand on 19 minutes. With Schalke 04 winning 2-0 at that moment, the defeat would have sent the title to Gelsenkirchen, but Stuttgart settled and Germany international Thomas Hitzlsperger equalised on 27 minutes to swing the title back their way. But it was midfielder Khedira whose 63rd minute goal had Stuttgart's fans celebrating the win which gave them a two-point margin at the top of the league. The win keeps alive their dream of doing a league and cup double for the first time when they contest the German cup final at Berlin's Olympic Stadium next weekend against Nuremberg. Generally it has been a great first season in German Bundesliga for our client Roberto Hilbert who scored 7 goals in Stuttgart´s league winning campaign. The midfielder also celebrated his debut in the German Senior National Team last month, won the Championship and is about to complete the sensation with a victory in in the German Cup Final against Nuremburg. Congratulations VfB Stuttgart, congratulations Roberto Hilbert!!
