Bayern Munich crowned Bundesliga champions for the 35th time
Bayern Munich have officially secured their 35th league title, cementing their domestic dominance once again. A 4-2 home victory over Stuttgart on Sunday evening mathematically confirmed the achievement, though the title race had effectively ended 24 hours earlier when Borussia Dortmund slumped to a 2-1 defeat against Hoffenheim.
Under the guidance of Vincent Kompany, the Bavarians have successfully defended their crown without giving the chasing pack a sniff. Such was their command over the campaign that the focus in recent weeks shifted toward record-breaking; Bayern have now set a sensational new Bundesliga benchmark by scoring 109 goals in a single season.
Despite hoisting the Meisterschale, celebrations in Munich are expected to be somewhat muted. The squad remains laser-focused on emulating the historic 2020 campaign by securing a continental treble. With the league title in the bag, the pressure now shifts to their upcoming knockout assignments.
The champions face a quick turnaround as they travel to Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday for a high-stakes DFB-Pokal semi-final. Following that, all eyes will turn to the Champions League, where a heavyweight clash against holders PSG awaits Kompany’s side.
