Two years ago, Bayer Leverkusen ended 11 years of Bavarian domination by winning the Bundesliga without a single defeat. A parenthesis which sounded like a warning to Munich. The following season, under the orders of a Vincent Kompany freshly arrived from Burnley with his reputation as an offensive tactician, but zero experience at this level, Bayern regained their property and became German champion again. And this season, the Bavarians have definitely made everyone agree. This Sunday, after Dortmund’s defeat at Hoffenheim the day before (2-1), a victory against Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena was enough to make the title official. Bayern took care of the formality by winning (4-2) to win their 35th German championship title.
Author of a high-level 2025-2026 exercise, Bayern Munich crushed everything in its path and set completely crazy records. The best attack in the Bundesliga by far, Bayern averages 3.6 goals scored per game, far ahead of Dortmund and Stuttgart (2). Before this coronation, the Bavarians had already shattered the record for the number of goals scored in a Bundesliga season by piling up more than 105 goals, erasing a mark more than 50 years old. Better defense too, with only 0.9 goals conceded per match, an impressive ratio for a team whose style of play is based on high possession and ultra-offensive pressing.
A hat-trick still possible
This year, Vincent Kompany was able to count on Harry Kane who walked on water. Fifty goals in all competitions for his second year in Bavaria. Behind him, the Olise-Luis Díaz duo was devastating with the Frenchman who was on cloud nine throughout the season also displaying some pretty crazy statistics. “It’s incredibly difficult to break records at Bayern Munich. It’s almost impossible. Beating this goals record is really a very good thing for the players.”he declared after the demonstration against Sankt Pauli (5-0) the previous weekend. This time again, the German club won the title in style, dominating less armed competition, it is true.
This coronation definitively closes the painful parenthesis of the Bayer Leverkusen season. And this season the message is even stronger because Bayern have not only dominated the championship, and what makes this season even more exceptional is obviously the club’s European ambition. Bayern Munich are in the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they will face PSG, European title holders. A clash of titans which promises to be one of the major events of the season. In C1, the Bavarians have already eliminated Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. In the German Cup too, Bayern is still in the running. A Bundesliga-German Cup-Champions League treble is still mathematically possible. The last time a German club achieved such a feat was Bayern themselves in 2013. So today’s title is perhaps only the first act of a historic season. And if Kompany goes all the way, he will join the greatest coaches in the club’s history. And it will be deserved!
