Bayern Munich sealed their 35th Bundesliga title on Sunday after coming from behind to beat VfB Stuttgart 4-2, moving 15 points clear at the top with four matches still to play. The result confirmed their dominance this season and ended the title race.
In spite of conceding a goal early, Bayern managed to flip the script. The victory arrives at a very important time as the team is still competing on different fronts having at the same time to prepare for a German Cup semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen and a Champions League semi-final encounter with Paris Saint-Germain later this month.
“It’s been a fantastic season for us,” said Bundesliga leading scorer Harry Kane, who was also on target on Sunday.
“To finish the league off in the way we have with the goals we scored… credit to the lads… we still have a lot to play for… but all the hard work, this makes it all worth it.”
Bayern have been dominant once more in the Bundesliga this season, shattering the all-time league record for goals scored in one campaign (101), having already netted 109 times with four matches remaining.
Bayern Munich are champions of Bundesliga for the 35th time.

Kane, who is leading the scorers list with 32 strikes, will need to score nine times in the remaining games if he is to equal Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals in a Bundesliga season.
But the England captain is already on track to win the top scorer trophy, and if he does then he will be the first player to win that title in his first three seasons in the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich’s Record-Breaking Season
With back-to-back German league titles in his two seasons in charge, coach Vincent 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.
But it all kicked off with a Stuttgart goal on Sunday with Chris Fuehrich silencing the home crowd when he slotted in from a Bilal El Khannouss assist to put the visitors in front in the 21st minute.
Bayern did not need long to bounce backscoring three times in six minutes.
Raphael Warrior opened their account when he tapped in after a superb solo run and cutback from Jamal Musiala in the 31st before Nicolas Jackson slotted in to put the hosts in front two minutes later, with the crowd back in full celebratory mood.
Alphonso Davies completed their first half turbo comeback with another goal in the 37th.
They kept scoring after the break and substitute Kane added another from close range seven minutes after the restart before Stuttgart pulled a goal back with Chema Andres late on.
