Bayern Munich secured another Bundesliga championship on Sunday, easing to a 4-2 win over Stuttgart to clinch their record-extending 35th German title.
The win moved Bayern an unassailable 15 points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund with four rounds remaining. Bayern only needed a point to be guaranteed the title after Dortmund's defeat to Hoffenheim the day before.
Match Summary
Stuttgart took the lead through Chris Führich in the 21st minute, but Bayern responded emphatically with three goals in a six-minute spell. Raphaël Guerreiro, Nicolas Jackson and Alphonso Davies all scored before halftime to overturn the deficit.
Harry Kane, who came on as a second-half substitute, added Bayern's fourth goal in the 82nd minute. The England captain's league-leading 32nd goal of the season — his 51st across all competitions — stretched Bayern's Bundesliga record to 109 goals in a season.
Chema scored a spectacular second goal for Stuttgart in the 88th minute.
Historic Milestone
The victory marks Bayern's 35th German championship, including their first title won in 1932. Every subsequent title came after the Bundesliga's formation in 1963.
"It's very special," midfielder Joshua Kimmich said. "Especially this season, it's a very good Bundesliga season. It's not a given that you come here after the games against Madrid and then play a game like this."
Looking Ahead
The Bundesliga is the first in a potential treble of trophies for Bayern. The club faces Bayer Leverkusen away in the German Cup semifinal on Wednesday, before a two-legged Champions League semifinal against defending champion Paris Saint-Germain.
"It's not — hopefully not — the last title," Bayern president Herbert Hainer said. "We'll definitely win our fourth consecutive German championship with the women's team, and we're in the cup final with the women. I hope we can wrap everything up on Wednesday so we can travel to Berlin for the cup final."
