Monday, April 20, 2026 - Bayern Munich secured a record-extending 35th Bundesliga title after a commanding 4-2 victory over VfB Stuttgart, with Harry Kane continuing his prolific form by scoring his 32nd goal of the season.
Bayern needed just a point to seal the title, but delivered
a dominant performance at home. Despite falling behind early to a goal from
Chris Führich, the hosts responded emphatically, scoring three times in quick
succession to take control of the match before halftime.
Raphaël Guerreiro equalised after being set up by Jamal
Musiala, before Nicolas Jackson and Alphonso Davies added further goals, both
assisted by Luis Díaz.
Kane extended the lead early in the second half, effectively
putting the result beyond doubt and ensuring Bayern’s latest league crown.
Stuttgart managed a late consolation through Chema Andrés, but the outcome was
never in question.
The result was enough to mathematically confirm Bayern as
champions, especially after Borussia Dortmund suffered a 2-1 defeat to TSG
Hoffenheim, leaving the title race effectively decided with four games
remaining.
Under manager Vincent Kompany, Bayern have once again
demonstrated their dominance in German football, winning 13 of the last 14
league titles. Their tally of 35 Bundesliga titles remains unmatched, with no
other club reaching double digits.
The Bavarian side’s attacking form has been historic this
season, scoring 109 goals so far, the highest in Bundesliga history, while also
boasting a goal difference of 80. If maintained, it would mark an unprecedented
statistical achievement in the league.
Individually, Kane continues to chase records, with his 32
league goals keeping him in contention to challenge Robert Lewandowski’s
single-season Bundesliga record of 41 goals. Meanwhile, Michael Olise has
registered 18 assists, closing in on the all-time record set by Thomas Müller.
Elsewhere, SC Freiburg boosted their European hopes with a
2-1 win over 1. FC Heidenheim, with Maximilian Eggestein scoring a late winner.
