Bayern Munich have crowned another dominant domestic season by clinching the German Bundesliga title for a 35th time, coming from behind to beat VfB Stuttgart 4–1 at the Allianz Arena. The Bavarians, who have lost just once in the league all campaign, needed only a point to secure the crown after Borussia Dortmund lost to Hoffenheim the previous night, but they chose to deliver a statement instead.
Stuttgart threaten but Bayern respond
Stuttgart nearly spoiled the party when Chris Führich curled home a superb opener in the 21st minute, giving the visitors hope of a late Champions League push. However, Bayern responded sharply: Raphael Guerreiro equalised 10 minutes later, and on‑loan Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson standing in for the suspended Harry Kane, put the hosts ahead just two minutes after that, ghosting into the box to finish clinically.
Second‑half blitz seals the title
Alphonso Davies extended the lead nine minutes before halftime, improvising well to flick a Luis Díaz pass past Stuttgart keeper Alexander Nübel from tight angles inside the area. Coming on at the break to replace Jamal Musiala, Kane added a fourth with his 32nd league goal of the season within seven minutes of entering the pitch, confirming his role as the Bundesliga’s top scorer once again. Chema Rodríguez grabbed a late consolation for Stuttgart in the 88th minute, but the result rarely felt in doubt.
A 13th crown in 14 years
The victory marks Bayern’s 13th Bundesliga title in the past 14 seasons, underlining their continued dominance in German football. The Bavarians now keep their sights set on a treble, with home‑and‑away DFB‑Pokal semi‑finals against Bayer Leverkusen and Champions League semi‑finals versus Paris Saint‑Germain still to come later in the month.
