How many Bundesliga titles have Bayern Munich won? Real Madrid’s conquerers send out warning after completing the job

Vincent Kompany’s men have mathematically secured the Bundesliga title with four matches remaining.

Vincent Kompany’s men have mathematically secured the Bundesliga title with four matches remaining.

With four games still to play, Bayern Munich wrapped up the Bundesliga title once again. Vincent Kompany’s side took full advantage of Borussia Dortmund’s stumble – a 2-1 defeat to Hoffenheim – by beating Stuttgart 4-2, stretching the gap over the second-placed club to 15 points and mathematically securing the shield. It is the 35th league title for a Bayern team whose focus now shifts to completing the treble with the DFB-Pokal and Champions League.

Without the injured Serge Gnabry and with regular starters such as Michael Olise, Harry Kane, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Dayot Upamecano, Konrad Laimer and Jonathan Tah rested ahead of next Wednesday’s German Cup semifinal against Bayer Leverkusen, the home side made an uncertain start against a Stuttgart team missing the suspended Deniz Undav. Sebastian Hoeneß’s men were better early on and went ahead through a superb curling effort from Chris Führich, but Bayern needed just six minutes of sheer madness to put both the game and the title to bed before halftime, thanks to goals from Raphaël Guerreiro – after a fine assist from the lively Jamal Musiala – Nicolas Jackson and Alphonso Davies.

Kompany sent on Kane and Olise for the second half, and the England striker needed only seven minutes to join the party, turning in a rebound from Alexander Nübel to make it four. Chema Andrés came on for the final 25 minutes to prevent further damage, and the Spaniard even added some gloss to the scoreline with a stunning strike from the edge of the box. Up front, Bayern’s stars eased off and left their new single-season Bundesliga scoring record at 109 goals. Bayern are champions again. But they want more.
