Bayern Munich have won their 34th German league title. They took back the Bundesliga crown after losing it last season. The team secured the title with two games to spare, showing their strength in German football.
HOW BAYERN SEALED THE TITLE
Bayern were officially crowned champions after Bayer Leverkusen, last season’s winners, drew 2-2 with Freiburg. Bayern had drawn 3-3 with RB Leipzig the day before and needed Leverkusen to drop points. Despite Leverkusen coming back from 2-0 down, their draw meant Bayern had enough points to win. This title is Bayern’s 12th league win in 13 seasons, showing their strong hold on German football.
DOMINANCE UNDER NEW LEADERSHIP
Bayern bounced back quickly this season after not winning any trophies last year. New head coach Vincent Kompany led them to the top of the Bundesliga from Matchday 3. They have won 23 of their 32 matches, scoring 93 goals, the most in the league. The title is special for England captain Harry Kane, who wins his first major club trophy. Meanwhile, club legend Thomas Müller extends his record to 13 Bundesliga titles. He is likely to leave the club this summer.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR BAYERN MUNICH?
Bayern’s next game as champions is against Borussia Mönchengladbach. It is their last home game of the season, giving fans a chance to celebrate the win with the trophy. They end the league season with an away match at Hoffenheim on May 17. Bayern are 9 points ahead of their nearest rivals, securing a strong return to the top. With the title won, they will focus on the FIFA Club World Cup next and plan for next season.
