Bayern Munich secure Bundesliga title with 4-2 win over Stuttgart
Bayern Munich have retained the Bundesliga title after overcoming an early deficit to secure a 4-2 home victory against Stuttgart on Sunday.
Vincent Kompany’s side entered the fixture knowing a point would be enough to be crowned champions following Borussia Dortmund’s defeat by Hoffenheim on Saturday.
The visitors initially threatened to spoil the title party when Chris Führich opened the scoring against the run of play.
However, the Bavarian giants responded emphatically with a devastating six-minute spell that yielded three quickfire goals.
Devastating attacking burst seals triumph
Raphaël Guerreiro initiated the turnaround before Nicolas Jackson and the lightning-fast Alphonso Davies added their names to the scoresheet.
The relentless pressure from the hosts proved too much for the Swabian defence to handle as the match slipped entirely from their grasp.
England captain Harry Kane was introduced from the substitutes’ bench in the second half to add further gloss to the scoreline.
The prolific striker netted his 51st goal of the campaign across all competitions to put the result beyond any lingering doubt.
Domestic dominance restored in record-breaking season
A late consolation strike from Chema Andrés did little to dampen the ecstatic celebrations that erupted at the full-time whistle.
This latest triumph marks the 13th German top-flight trophy for the Munich powerhouse in the past 14 seasons.
Their absolute domestic dominance was only briefly interrupted by an invincible Bayer Leverkusen campaign during the previous term.
It has been a historically formidable season for the newly crowned champions, who have suffered just a single league defeat against Augsburg in late January.
They had already cemented their place in the history books last month by shattering their own 54-year goalscoring record when they surpassed the 102-goal mark.
