Bayern Munich secured the Bundesliga trophy after extending its goals record with a Harry Kane hat trick in a 5-1 victory over Cologne on Saturday.
Kane's fourth hat trick of the season lifted his tally to 36 goals—five shy of Robert Lewandowski's league record from 2020-21. Tom Bischof and Nicolas Jackson also scored for Bayern.
The Bavarian side finished the season with 122 goals, easily surpassing the previous Bundesliga record of 101 set by the 1971-72 Bayern team featuring legends Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller.
Record-Breaking Goal
Leon Goretzka, who is leaving the club after eight seasons, scored the goal that broke the record with five rounds still to play.
"We have a great group, a great togetherness, and to celebrate success with that is awesome," said Bayern board member for sport Max Eberl after his second league title with the club.
Historic Dominance
With the exception of Bayer Leverkusen remarkable unbeaten domestic season in 2024, Bayern has won every Bundesliga title since Borussia Dortmund won back-to-back titles in 2012.
French winger Michael Olise, who recorded 15 goals and 22 assists over 32 appearances, was named Bundesliga Player of the Season.
Trophy Celebration
Vincent Kompany's team wrapped up the title with four rounds to spare, but players had to wait until Saturday before receiving the "salad bowl" trophy.
Captain Manuel Neuer, who extended his contract on Friday, presented the trophy to Goretzka to hoist skyward as celebrations began with confetti and Queen hit "We Are The Champions."
The traditional beer showers followed as giant pitchers were brought onto the field. Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano doused Kompany before the soaked coach managed to join his family on the sideline.
"I'd say today it's OK to celebrate a little. Then we have a week and then we'll be fully focused on the cup final," Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich said.
