Harry Kane scored his 32nd goal of the campaign as Bayern Munich cruised to a 4-2 home win over Stuttgart to claim a record-extending 35th Bundesliga title.
The title victory once again illustrated Bayern’s modern and historical dominance of German football.
The Bavarian giants have now won 13 of the past 14 Bundesliga titles. Bayern have 35 league titles, with no other team reaching double figures.
Bayern’s wealth and influence outshines all of their domestic rivals and this season has been truly remarkable.
Bayern have scored 109 goals, the most in Bundesliga history and eight more than the previous record set back in 1971-72, with four games remaining.
Free-scoring Bayern have 79 points and a goal difference of 80. If the season ended today, Bayern would become the first team to have a greater goal difference than points tally in Bundesliga history.
With four wins in their remaining four games, Bayern could bring up 91 points, equalling the best mark set by their treble-bound side in 2012-13.
Then there are the individual records.
Kane, who became the first Englishman since 1930-31 to reach a half-century of goals in a season in all competitions on Wednesday, can still reach Robert Lewandowski’s single-season goals record of 41.
The England captain has 32 goals from his 27 games this campaign and is in with an outside chance of catching Lewandowski.
The season for treble-chasing Bayern Munich is far from over, coach Vincent Kompany said on Sunday after his team secured the Bundesliga title with four matches to go.
The Bavarians opened up a 15-point gap at the top of the league with a 4-2 victory over VfB Stuttgart but there were no usual beer showers or lengthy celebrations, with the team still in the running for two more trophies.
Bayern face Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday in the German Cup semi-final before travelling to Paris St Germain on April 28 for their Champions League semi-final first leg.
“The season is not over yet. There are still things to be won,” said Kompany, who earned his second straight league title on Sunday. “PSG in the Champions League, the defending champions, it’s probably the toughest challenge. But before that we have Leverkusen.
“I don’t want to stop here. Now come the decisive weeks. We’re looking forward to them, but we also know how difficult it will be. Our belief is there, and that’s worth a lot in football.”
Bayern last won the Champions League in 2020, the same year they reached their last German Cup final in Berlin.
With back-to-back German league titles in his two seasons in charge, Kompany, who took over from Thomas Tuchel in 2024, has quickly succeeded in reestablishing Bayern’s domestic dominance after Leverkusen broke their stranglehold with an unbeaten domestic double in 2024.
Under Kompany they have set a number of records this season in the Bundesliga, including for the most goals scored in a campaign, but they are eager to taste European success once more, and add a seventh European Cup to their collection.
“We will have enough time to celebrate what we have achieved but now it is about what we can still achieve so we need that full focus,” Kompany said.
“The players have to recover and prepare the game for Leverkusen. But you can have a glass of red wine in the evening and go to work tomorrow. That’s what it will be like for us. We will celebrate but obviously not really today,” he added.
