Bayern Munich have officially secured their 35th Bundesliga title, defeating VfB Stuttgart 4-2 in front of a jubilant home crowd at the Allianz Arena on Sunday, April 19, 2026. The victory extends the Bavarian club's record as the most successful team in German football history and confirms their second consecutive league crown under manager Vincent Kompany.
The title was effectively sealed before kick-off, as Borussia Dortmund's 2-1 defeat to TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday left Bayern needing just a point to become champions. Kompany's side delivered more than the minimum requirement, producing a dominant performance that saw them recover from an early deficit to secure all three points in emphatic fashion.
Stuttgart stunned the Allianz Arena in the 21st minute when Chris Führich raced onto a through-ball from Bilal El Khannouss and fired into the bottom corner. The setback proved temporary, as Bayern responded with a devastating seven-minute burst before halftime. Raphaël Guerreiro levelled the score in the 31st minute, tapping home from close range following Jamal Musiala's incisive work. Nicolas Jackson then put Bayern ahead two minutes later, finishing neatly from Luis Díaz's assist. Alphonso Davies added a third in the 37th minute, crashing a shot into the roof of the net after another Díaz delivery.
Kompany, who had rested several regular starters with Wednesday's DFB-Pokal semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen in mind, introduced Harry Kane at halftime. The England captain made an immediate impact, converting from close range in the 52nd minute after Alexander Nübel had denied Leon Goretzka. Chema Andrés grabbed a late consolation for Stuttgart in the 88th minute, but the outcome was never in doubt.
Kane's goal marked his 32nd in 27 Bundesliga appearances this season and continued a remarkable personal transformation since his 2023 arrival from Tottenham Hotspur. Once unfairly labelled as a player who could not win major trophies, the 32-year-old now boasts two Bundesliga titles and a German Super Cup with Bayern. "To finish the league off in the way we have with the goals we scored... credit to the lads... we still have a lot to play for... but all the hard work, this makes it all worth it," Kane said after the match.
Bayern's domestic dominance this season has been nothing short of extraordinary. The champions have lost just once in the league — a home defeat to Augsburg in January — and have already amassed 109 goals, surpassing the previous Bundesliga record of 101 set in the 1971/72 season. With four matches still to play, they remain on course to eclipse the 91-point tally achieved by their treble-winning side of 2012/13.
Attention now turns to a potential historic treble. Bayern face Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal semi-final on Wednesday before meeting defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, with the first leg scheduled for April 28 at the Parc des Princes. Kompany, who has now won the Bundesliga in each of his first two seasons in charge, struck a determined tone: "It is April 19 and we are in every competition. We have had lots of success with every player in the squad. We go to Leverkusen knowing anything can happen, but with real belief".
