Bayern Munich Crowned Bundesliga Champions for 35th German Title

Bayern Munich are German champions again. Vincent Kompany's side wrapped up the 2025-26 Bundesliga title on 19 April with a 4-2 win over VfB Stuttgart — and they have spent the weeks since rewriting the record book.

With three games still to play, Bayern have already broken the Bundesliga's all-time goals record. The previous mark of 101 goals, set in 1971-72, stood for over 50 years. Kompany's team has now scored 113 and counting. It is Bayern's 34th Bundesliga crown and 35th German title overall, and the manner of it — clinching with five matches to spare — has been a statement in itself.

The numbers behind the title are extraordinary. Harry Kane has been at the heart of the goalscoring blitz, but the depth of Bayern's attack is what has separated them. Michael Olise, Luis Díaz, Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry have all chipped in, and Kompany has rotated freely without losing intensity. Aleksandar Pavlović and Joshua Kimmich have controlled tempo from midfield, with Konrad Laimer's running covering the gaps that come with such an attacking setup.

For predictions purposes, Bayern's title run is a useful case study in how a single dominant attacking side bends a league's markets. Over 2.5 goals lines, both teams to score, and individual goalscorer markets all shifted significantly across the season as Kane's reliability became priced into every fixture. The teams that beat Bayern this year — fewer than a handful — did so by sitting deep, conceding possession and accepting low-event games. That tells you almost everything about how to model the league's middle 14 against the top.

Bayern still have the Champions League second leg against PSG on Wednesday and a DFB-Pokal final to come. The treble is alive.
