FC Bayern secures its 34th league championship, despite browser restrictions - FC Bayern Munich Crowned Champions for a Record 34th Time on Screen
Hey there! Let's talk about the excitement surrounding FC Bayern Munich's 34th German championship title.
Their main competitor, Bayer Leverkusen, couldn't keep pace after a 2:2 (0:1) draw against SC Freiburg, ensuring that Bayern can't be toppled in the final two matchdays of the Bundesliga.
Although they missed the opportunity to clinch the title on the pitch during their thrilling 3:3 draw against RB Leipzig on Saturday, the celebrations began in earnest. Coach Vincent Kompany and the players, including England's national team captain Harry Kane, watched the crucial Leverkusen draw from a Munich restaurant on Sunday.
Harry Kane's First Victory Lap
This is a special achievement for Kane, collectively known as "Kane-o-saurus" by the Bayern fans, who is finally tasting club title glory after multiple individual awards - Despite being suspended for the Leipzig game, Kane had never won a club title before.
For Kompany, joining Bayern before the season marked his first major coaching challenge. Although he led Burnley to promotion from the English second division as champions two years ago, this is his first significant title as a coach with Bayern. As a player, Kompany bagged championship titles in England and Belgium.
Thomas Müller, a True Legend Bids Emotional Farewell
This title is a heartfelt farewell present for club legend Thomas Müller. Known as "The Mozart of German football," Müller has decided to hang up his jersey in the summer, ruling out a move to another Bundesliga club. With his 13th German championship, Müller has surpassed his own record, reaffirming his legendary status. Manuel Neuer sits comfortably in second place with 12 German championships with Bayern.
Although their DFB-Pokal and Champions League dreams were shattered, winning the championship marked a sweet ending to a challenging season for FC Bayern. Another title is still possible, with the Club World Cup looming on the horizon from June 14 to July 13 in the USA.
Before then, the German championship will be celebrated with the fans. After a one-year break, FC Bayern will return to the town hall balcony together with the club's women's team, who secured their third consecutive championship last Sunday.
