A DECADE OF DOMINANCE

 

Bayern Munich completed a decade of domestic dominance by beating main rival Borussia Dortmund 3-1 to seal a record-extending 10th consecutive Bundesliga title.

 

Goals from Serge Gnabry, Robert Lewandowski (his 33th of the season) and Jamal Musiala sent Bayern an unassailable 12 points clear of second-placed Dortmund with three games of the season remaining.

 

It was Bayern’s eighth consecutive league win over Dortmund, which hasn’t won a game in München since 2014.



 

Bayern’s 10th straight German championship is a record among Europe’s top five leagues, eclipsing the nine Serie A titles in a row by Juventus from 2012-20.

 

Bayern’s players celebrated with the customary beer showers. For Julian Nagelsmann it was the first title in charge.

The 34-year-old Nagelsmann is the second youngest coach to win the Bundesliga. Dortmund’s Matthias Sammer was a few days younger in 2002.

 

Since the creation of the Bundesliga in 1964, FC Bayern won 31 titles (and 1 in 1932 before the war). Since 2000, the club of new President Oliver Kahn added 17 titles in 22 years !
