For the Lovers — Triumphs and Titles

11-1 Against BVB in 1971

On matchday 16 of the 1971/72 season, FC Bayern thrashed Borussia Dortmund 11-1.

Line-up (incl. Kicker ratings): Maier (2) -- Koppenhoefer (3), Hansen (3), Beckenbauer (2), Breitner (2) -- Roth (2), Zobel (3), U. Hoeness (2) -- Krauthausen (2), Mueller (2), Hoffmann (3).

Coach: Lattek.

The scoring sequence is spectacular: 1:0 Mueller (11'), 2:0 U. Hoeness (20', header), 3:0 Hoffmann (39'), 4:0 Mueller (45'), 5:0 U. Hoeness (49'), 6:0 Beckenbauer (54'), 6:1 Weinkauff (57'), 7:1 Breitner (59'), 8:1 Roth (64'), 9:1 Mueller (83'), 10:1 Roth (89'), 11:1 Mueller (90').

The result was a signpost for both clubs.

While Bayern became champions with a Bundesliga record of 101 goals, BVB were relegated.

DFB-Pokal 1966 — Champions as Newcomers

In their first Bundesliga season, Bayern finished third and won the cup — and a 19-year-old named Beckenbauer was discovered.

Before Bayern's first Bundesliga season in 1965/66, coach Tschik Cajkovski grumbled that he had no finished players and would be satisfied if the club avoided relegation.

What am I supposed to do with short, fat Mueller? mused the Yugoslav. On the first matchday of the 1965/66 season, TSV 1860 lost the derby 0-1. It was a brutal affair. An incident that would shape the course of the season — indeed, of football history.

Bayern's rugged centre-back Danzberg kicked the already-grounded 1860 striker Konietzka. The consequences: a red card and an eight-week ban. He lost his place in the team, and a young academy player moved up who had an entirely different understanding of the game — Le Kaiser Franz Beckenbauer.

The then 19-year-old was the discovery of the season.

After just six league appearances, he was called up to the national team. On matchday four, FC Bayern stood at the top of the Bundesliga for the first time. The first season ended in third place.

It is the only time in Bundesliga history that both Munich clubs finished in the top three at the end of a season.

Had Bayern won that match, they would have been champions straight away (assuming the same course of the season); as it was, 1860 won the title for the only time. FCB won the DFB-Pokal for the second time, after 1957 (1-0 against Fortuna Duesseldorf), this time in the final against Meidericher SV. After the 4-2 victory, Sepp Maier said: It was hot, we sweated, and we won too.

Just lovely!

Cup Winners' Cup 1967 — First European Trophy

Franz Bulle Roth scored the only goal in extra time against Glasgow Rangers in Nuremberg.

In the following season, 1966/67, the squad remained almost unchanged. Franz Bulle Roth arrived from Kaufbeuren, Georg Schwarzenbeck came through the youth academy. After appearing in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, FC Bayern competed for the first time in a UEFA-organised international competition: the European Cup Winners' Cup.

Via Tatran Presov, Shamrock Rovers, Rapid Wien and Standard Liege, Bayern reached the final in Nuremberg — the exact same city where Bayern had won their first major trophy, the German championship, 35 years earlier in 1932. Their opponents were Glasgow Rangers, who had previously knocked out holders Borussia Dortmund.

In front of 71,000 spectators, Franz Bulle Roth scored the 1-0 in extra time (108th minute).

Two years earlier, Roth had still been playing in the C-Klasse at TSV Bertoldshofen. Bayern finished the Bundesliga season in sixth place. The DFB-Pokal was successfully defended; 68,000 spectators in Stuttgart watched Bayern's cup triumph.

Hamburger SV with Uwe Seeler were beaten 4-0, with goals from Mueller (2), Ohlhauser and Brenninger (1 each).

First Double 1968/69

Top of the table from first matchday to last — the first Double since 1937.

FC Bayern won their first five matches of the season and were top of the table from first matchday to last. Their final margin over runners-up Alemannia Aachen was eight points. Munich also won the DFB-Pokal — the first Double since 1937. FC Schalke 04 had the chance to prevent it in the cup final but lost 1-2.

Branko Zebec used just 13 players all season as coach.

Top scorer, as in 1967, was Gerd Mueller with 30 goals.

German Championship 1971/72

A title showdown against Schalke 04 at the Olympiastadion — and a new Bundesliga scoring record of 101 goals.

After Borussia Moenchengladbach had won the championship in 1969/70 and 1970/71, and Bayern had squandered the title the previous season through a defeat on the final matchday at then-bogey side MSV Duisburg, Munich were champions again in 1971/72.

But it was tight: before the final matchday, the club led Schalke 04 — the autumn champions playing their best Bundesliga season to date — by just one point. On the last day, the two sides met at Munich's new Olympiastadion.

FC Bayern won 5-1 and were German champions. The fifth Bayern goal, scored by Franz Beckenbauer, was the club's 101st of the season — a new scoring record.

Top scorer was once again Gerd Mueller with 40 goals — also a record. The 1972/73 championship lacked sparkle; Bayern were so dominant that they clinched the title on matchday 30. This time Mueller managed 36 goals, once again winning the Torjaegerkanone.

European Cup 1974 — Schwarzenbeck's Shot

Thirty seconds from defeat, a centre-back who normally never shot dared to shoot — and changed history.

FC Bayern and Atletico Madrid faced each other in the 1974 European Cup final at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels. Ajax Amsterdam had won the title three times previously; now a changing of the guard was at hand, and FC Bayern set about becoming the new European dominant force.

But for a long time, nothing suggested it. After 90 minutes, a dull match without highlights stood at 0-0. Little happened in extra time either, until the 114th minute.

Then the Spaniards were awarded a free kick on the left. Captain Luis Aragones, later to become Spain's national coach, placed the ball and curled it over the wall into the net. Nothing Sepp Maier could do — Bayern appeared to have lost.

The Atletico defence, marshalled by Eusebio Bejarano and Ramon Heredia, had conceded just two goals on the way to the final.

They had kept seven clean sheets. Thirty seconds before the end, Munich launched one last attack; Belgian referee Vital Loraux already had the whistle in his mouth. Then a player dared something who normally dared nothing.

Georg Schwarzenbeck — Katsche, the Kaiser's boot-polisher, the Kaiser's adjutant — the man for the dirty work, doing the grunt for Le Kaiser.

Legend has it that he was only permitted to cross the halfway line with Beckenbauer's express permission. Thirty metres from the opposition goal, he received a pass — a sign of desperation at FC Bayern. The Spaniards expected anything, but not a shot from the centre-back.

Yet he dared, not least because nothing better occurred to him.

The ball crashed into the bottom left corner. He had no idea what to do with the ball, so he just smashed it. I was already on my way to the dressing room, just glanced over my shoulder and saw the ball hit the net.

An unbelievable thing, coach Udo Lattek recalled years later. The match ended in a draw.

Since there was no penalty shoot-out in those days, the final had to be replayed. FC Bayern won 4-0 two days later, with Uli Hoeness scoring the decisive goals.

It crowned a super-season in which FC Bayern also completed the championship hat-trick.

European Cup 1975 — Champions in Crisis

Bayern went down 0-6 on the opening matchday, finished 10th in the league — and defended the European Cup.

The second European Cup title is perhaps Bayern's most surprising triumph. In 1974/75, the club found themselves in a genuine crisis. Six members of the serial champions' squad had played in the World Cup final against the Netherlands (2-1), and they had lost all motivation.

They went down 0-6 to Kickers Offenbach at Frankfurt's Waldstadion in the opening fixture.

It was the champions' heaviest Bundesliga defeat to that date. Even before that, there had been debacles in friendlies against Betis Sevilla (0-5) and Racing Brussels (1-5). Why?

Bayern saw themselves as World Cup victims. Because the star ensemble devoured 600,000 DM a month in wages, and the club had no income during the three-month close season, manager Robert Schwan packed them off around the world immediately after a three-week holiday.

Coach Udo Lattek reflected later: Training at that point really only took place on the plane and on the gangway. But the club earned good money from its World Cup combo, from which only Paul Breitner (to Real Madrid) had departed.

His parting words proved prophetic: Bayern are sated and need new motivation from the kit man to the boot boy. How right he was.

As early as the third home match, the aura of invincibility at the Olympiastadion evaporated when Schalke 04 became the first Bundesliga club to win there in 73 matches and four and a half years (0-2). Against a championship squad that was largely unchanged — only former Duisburg striker Klaus Wunder and newcomer Karl-Heinz Rummenigge featured more regularly.

But the core around the axis of Sepp Maier, Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Mueller lacked energy and motivation.

Uli Hoeness: Our decline was a perfectly natural process. We were burnt out, tired, spent. We could only pull ourselves together for the European Cup matches.

After a 1-3 defeat in Braunschweig on matchday 7, the Muenchner Merkur headlined: The respect for the champions has gone. The team focused exclusively on defending the European Cup, benefiting from a bye in the first round and then knocking out 1. FC Magdeburg (3-2/2-1) in the intra-German duel.

Udo Lattek did not get through the winter; he was sacked on 2 January 1975 in acute relegation danger (14th place). Football professor Dettmar Cramer took over and immediately won the European Cup, which the team defended after victories over Ararat Yerevan (2-0/0-1), AS Saint-Etienne (2-0/0-0) and Leeds United (2-0 in the final) — without glamour, but with composure.

The final was overshadowed by the brutal approach of the English, who kicked Andersson and Hoeness off the pitch, and by crowd trouble from their fans, who hurled seat shells.

FC Bayern -- Leeds United: 28 May 1975 in Paris, Result 2-0 (0-0), Attendance: 50,000 (Parc des Princes). Referee: Kitabdjan (France).

FC Bayern: Sepp Maier -- Rainer Zobel, Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck, Franz Beckenbauer (captain), Bernd Duernberger -- Bjoern Andersson (4' Josef Weiss), Franz Roth, Hans-Josef Kapellmann -- Uli Hoeness (42' Klaus Wunder), Gerd Mueller, Conny Torstensson. Coach: Dettmar Cramer.

Goals: 1-0 Franz Roth (72'), 2-0 Mueller (82').

Third European Cup 1976 and World Club Cup

Third consecutive European Cup — Bulle Roth scored the winner again.

FC Bayern won the European Cup for the third consecutive time in 1976. In an uninspired match, AS Saint-Etienne were beaten 1-0. Bulle Roth scored the winner — once again.

FC Bayern -- AS Saint-Etienne: 12 May 1976 in Glasgow (Hampden Park), Result: 1-0 (0-0), Attendance: 54,684, Referee: Karoly Palotai (Hungary). Line-up: Sepp Maier -- Johnny Hansen, Georg Schwarzenbeck, Franz Beckenbauer (captain), Udo Horsmann -- Bernd Duernberger, Franz Roth, Hans-Josef Kapellmann -- Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Gerd Mueller, Uli Hoeness. Coach: Dettmar Cramer.

Goal: 1-0 Franz Roth (57').

In December 1976, Bayern entered the then rather secondary World Club Cup for the first time and triumphed over Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte of Brazil in two matches memorable for the weather conditions (2-0 in Munich/0-0). In Munich, snow was already falling in November, overwhelming the pitch heating. In Brazil, three days before Christmas, it was 23 degrees and a downpour swept across the pitch.

Kick-off was at 22:30. The goals came from Gerd Mueller and Jupp Kapellmann.

Champions Again — 1980

Level on points and goal difference with HSV going into the final matches — Bayern prevailed.

Two matchdays before the end of the season, Hamburger SV and Bayern were level on points at the top of the table. Both had a goal difference of +48; only because of two more goals scored did HSV sit above them. But it was Pal Csernai's Bayern who became champions.

On the penultimate matchday, Hamburg lost 1-2 at promoted Leverkusen, while Bayern won their last two matches.

Championship number 6! In 1981 the title was defended, with HSV again the closest challenger. It was the Breitnigge era — playmaker Paul Breitner and striker Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, top scorer in both seasons (26 and 29 goals respectively), dominated the league.

1984/85 — The Super-Successful Eighties Begin

Wire-to-wire victory: sole leaders from matchday two to the end of the season.

Bayern achieved a wire-to-wire victory in the 1984/85 season. After matchday one, the team was level on points and goals with Borussia Moenchengladbach and 1. FC Koeln at the top. From matchday two onwards, Munich were sole leaders until the end of the season.

After six consecutive wins, they already had a four-point lead, and after matchday 10 even a five-point cushion over Moenchengladbach.

On the final matchday, Munich were two points and two goals ahead of Werder Bremen. While Bremen lost their last match 0-2 at Borussia Dortmund, FC Bayern won 1-0 at Eintracht Braunschweig. Knowledge for blowhards: the rearranged matchday 12 fixture Borussia Moenchengladbach--Bayern (3-2) on 11 December 1984 at the Boekelberg was the first nationwide live broadcast of an entire Bundesliga match in Germany (on ARD).

Championship 1986 — Kutzop's Missed Penalty

Michael Kutzop missed a penalty for Werder Bremen in the 89th minute of the title decider.

Autumn champions Werder Bremen led the table by two points over defending champions FC Bayern before the penultimate matchday. Then came the direct duel at Bremen's Weserstadion, where the hosts could clinch the championship with a win. The match ended 0-0. In the 89th minute, Michael Kutzop missed a penalty for Werder Bremen.

On the final matchday, Bremen lost 1-2 at VfB Stuttgart, while Bayern thrashed Borussia Moenchengladbach 6-0 and became German champions again on goal difference despite being level on points.

For the first and so far only time, a club that had never been top of the table on any of the previous 33 matchdays won the championship.

Championship 1986/87 — Hat-trick Again

Third consecutive title by a six-point margin — Bayern's second championship hat-trick after 1972-74.

In the 1986/87 season, FC Bayern won their third consecutive title by a six-point margin. This was, after the 1972-74 period, Bayern's second championship hat-trick. The coach was once again Udo Lattek.

In total, this was Bayern's tenth German championship, making them sole record champions ahead of 1. FC Nuernberg.

Munich lost just a single match — the home game against Leverkusen, 0-3 — which was a record (equalled in the 2012/13 season with one defeat — again against Leverkusen).

Championship 1989 vs. Koeln and Daum

Christoph Daum got nervous in the 80th minute and gambled badly — Bayern won 3-1 to clinch the title.

Bayern led the table from matchday five of the 1988/89 season, interrupted only once by VfB Stuttgart on matchday 10. The only serious competition came from 1. FC Koeln, who under coach Christoph Daum were enjoying their best season since the 1977/78 championship and by matchday 29 had closed to within a single point of Bayern.

The duel between FC Bayern and 1. FC Koeln was defined by the verbal sparring between coaches Christoph Daum and Jupp Heynckes. The media highlight was the legendary encounter on the Aktuelles Sportstudio TV show shortly before the clubs' meeting in Cologne on 25 May. In the TV studio there was no winner; on the pitch, Bayern triumphed.

Until the 80th minute it was 1-1. Then Daum got nervous and gambled badly.

He took off defender Juergen Kohler, whose direct opponent Roland Wohlfarth scored two more goals to secure Bayern a 3-1 victory that effectively decided the championship. In 1990, Heynckes' charges defended the title, this time without any drama. Koeln finished second again, but now six points adrift, and the league mocked the Vice-Daum, who was sacked after the season.

UEFA Cup 1996 — The Full Set

Under caretaker Franz Beckenbauer, Bayern beat Bordeaux to become the fourth German UEFA Cup winner.

Under caretaker coach Franz Beckenbauer — who had already lived up to his reputation as a lucky charm with the 1994 championship — the German record champions beat Girondins de Bordeaux in the final legs (2-0 and 3-1) and became, after Bayer 04 Leverkusen (1988), Eintracht Frankfurt (1980) and Borussia Moenchengladbach (1975, 1979), the fourth German club to win the UEFA Cup.

With that, the club had won all three European trophies. The following year, the title defence failed in the first round — eliminated by FC Valencia (0-3/1-0) — but Giovanni Trapattoni's team reclaimed the German championship after two years of Dortmund dominance. Trap became the first Italian championship-winning coach in Germany.

Double 1999/00 — Duels with Bayer Leverkusen

Leverkusen led going into the final matchday — then Unterhaching happened.

At the centre of the season was the head-to-head battle for the title between Bayern and Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The Christoph Daum-coached works club took over the top spot on matchday 30 with a 4-1 win over Arminia Bielefeld. Defending champions FC Bayern, meanwhile, suffered a surprise 1-2 derby defeat to 1860 Munich.

Leverkusen and FCB won all remaining matches before matchday 34 (Leverkusen 3-1 in Bremen, 2-0 at HSV and 4-1 against Frankfurt; Bayern 1-0 in Dortmund, 4-1 against Rostock and 3-0 in Bielefeld).

Leverkusen went into the away match at SpVgg Unterhaching with 73 points and a goal difference of +40; Bayern had 70 points and a difference of +43 before the finale against Werder. Three fewer points, but a better goal record.

A draw would have been enough for Leverkusen. Manager Reiner Calmund was already planning the title celebrations; the DFB had brought the trophy to Sportpark Unterhaching.

But the Werkself fell behind through a Michael Ballack own goal after 20 minutes; FCB were already leading 3-1 at half-time. Leverkusen pressed but could not score. In the 72nd minute, Markus Oberleitner headed in to make it 2-0 for Unterhaching.

FCB were champions — and once again Christoph Daum was left empty-handed.

German Championship 2000/01 vs. Schalke 04

Patrick Andersson's only competitive goal for FC Bayern — an indirect free kick in the fourth minute of injury time.

From matchday 29, Schalke 04 were top of the table in the 2000/01 season, ahead of FC Bayern. Before the penultimate matchday, Bayern and Schalke were level on points, with a better goal difference for the Schalke side. In the 90th minute, two goals fell almost simultaneously.

For FC Bayern, Alexander Zickler scored to make it a 2-1 home win over 1. FC Kaiserslautern; seven seconds earlier, Krassimir Balakov had scored the 1-0 winner for VfB Stuttgart against Schalke. Now FC Bayern were top again, three points clear of Schalke 04 before the final matchday.

Bayern needed at least a draw at Hamburger SV if Schalke were to win. Schalke duly won their final match against Unterhaching, while Bayern drew against HSV and became German champions.

The finale was far more dramatic than it sounds: Schalke trailed 0-2 and 2-3 but eventually won 5-3. Markus Merk refereed the HSV-Bayern match.

A Schalke loanee stood in Hamburg's goal: Matthias Schober. HSV scored in the 90th minute through Sergej Barbarez to lead 1-0. In the fourth minute of injury time, FCB were awarded an indirect free kick in the HSV penalty area. Schober had illegally handled a back-pass.

The HSV wall stood on the line; there was really no gap. Patrick Andersson found one nonetheless and scored his only competitive goal for FC Bayern. Munich were German champions once more.

This time, the architect of the hat-trick was Ottmar Hitzfeld, in charge since 1998 and championship-winning coach every year.

Champions League 2001 and World Club Cup

Oliver Kahn saved three penalties against Valencia — and Sammy Kuffour scored the golden goal in Tokyo.

The final took place on 23 May 2001 at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan. FC Bayern beat FC Valencia 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw following extra time. Oliver Kahn saved three penalties and built his own monument.

In the semi-final, FCB had previously eliminated holders Real Madrid. Munich won both legs, 1-0 and 3-1.

In November, Bayern claimed the World Club Cup in Tokyo. The hero of the day was defender Sammy Kuffour, who scored the golden goal to make it 1-0 against Boca Juniors of Argentina (in the 110th minute).

Doubles 2005 and 2006 — The Magath Era

Two consecutive Doubles — unprecedented for any club or coach.

In 2004/05, taskmaster Felix Magath took over the Bayern squad from Ottmar Hitzfeld — a team that had lost its 2002/03 title (won with a 16-point cushion) to Werder Bremen in 2004. Magath delivered the Double straight away, something only Branko Zebec (1969) had managed before him. Closest rivals Schalke, still top after a 1-0 win over Bayern on matchday 25, collapsed and were ultimately distanced by 14 points as Bayern won their last nine matches.

The championship was secured on matchday 31 (4-0 at Kaiserslautern). Schalke were also beaten in the cup final (2-1).

In 2005/06, Magath's team repeated the feat: FC Bayern occupied first place throughout (bar matchdays 1 and 9) and clinched the title on the penultimate matchday — curiously, once again on the Betzenberg (1-1).

Bayern finished five points clear of Werder Bremen. In the cup final, Quaelix's team ground out a 1-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt. Magath's credit still lasted only seven more months; in fourth place, he was sacked on 30 January 2007. Ottmar Hitzfeld returned and became champion for the fifth and final time in 2008.

Double 2010 — LvG and His Static System

Robbery arrived, Müller and Badstuber broke through — and Bayern won the Double under Louis van Gaal.

After a year without the championship, FC Bayern won the title again. Decisive was the newly signed wing tandem of Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, dubbed Robbery by the tabloids. Also important: Dutch coach Louis van Gaal (LvG) integrated youth academy products Thomas Mueller and Holger Badstuber into the first team; both went to the World Cup in South Africa after the season.

After the championship, Bayern also won the cup final against Werder Bremen 4-0.

8-1 Away Win at FC St. Pauli

Against the Kiez club, already confirmed as relegated, Bayern vented their frustration on 7 May 2011 over the championship conceded to Borussia Dortmund.

At half-time it was only 0-2, but then the charges of interim coach Andries Jonker got serious.

The goals: 0:1 Gomez (10'), 0:2 van Buyten (32'), 0:3 Gomez (52'), 0:4, 0:5 Robben (54', 74'), 1:5 Eger (78'), 1:6 Robben (84'), 1:7 Gomez (86'), 1:8 Ribery (88').

They also won by a seven-goal margin on 7 December 2013, at the start of the Guardiola era, at Werder Bremen. By half-time (0-3) it was all over against the favourite opponents of the modern era. The goals: 0:1 Lukimya (21'/own goal), 0:2 van Buyten (27'), 0:3 Ribery (38'), 0:4 Mandzukic (60'), 0:5 Mueller (68'), 0:6 Ribery (82'), 0:7 Goetze (90').

Heynckes' Treble 2012/13 — Part 1: The Championship

91 points — a Bundesliga record that still stands. Bayern led from the first matchday to the last.

After two years without a title, FC Bayern dominated the Bundesliga once more. On the very first matchday, they took the lead with a 3-0 against promoted Greuther Fuerth and kept it until the end of the season.

Eight wins to start the season set a new record; on matchday nine came the sole league defeat, at home to Leverkusen (1-2). Otherwise, they dropped points only twice against Borussia Dortmund and once each against 1. FC Nuernberg and Borussia Moenchengladbach.

The 91 points remain a Bundesliga record.

Heynckes' Treble 2012/13 — Part 2: Champions League and Beyond

Barcelona humiliated 4-0 and 3-0, Wembley won, then Super Cup and Club World Cup — five trophies in 2013.

In the UEFA Champions League final, FC Bayern defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in an all-German duel at London's Wembley Stadium, qualifying for the 2013 UEFA Super Cup and the 2013 FIFA Club World Cup. Arjen Robben scored the decisive goal (89th minute); Mario Mandzukic's opener (60') had been cancelled out by Ilkay Guendogan's penalty (68').

Of particular significance was the double victory over the then-supreme FC Barcelona in the semi-final. Jupp Heynckes' eleven humiliated the Catalans' star ensemble 4-0 and 3-0.

Ten days after Wembley, Bayern claimed the historic and unique Treble, beating VfB Stuttgart 3-2 in the DFB-Pokal final.

Heynckes received a perfect send-off.

In 2013, FCB also won the UEFA Super Cup and became Club World Cup champions: FC Bayern, now under Pep Guardiola, beat Chelsea on penalties and won the European Super Cup for the first time in summer 2013. Against the Londoners, Munich fell behind twice and equalised through Javi Martinez only in the very last second of extra time to make it 2-2. In the penalty shoot-out, the Treble winners did not miss a single kick; Manuel Neuer saved the English side's fifth attempt.

Thirty-seven years after their first World Club Cup triumph, FC Bayern became Club World Champions for the third time in December 2013.

From the 2012/13 season onwards, FC Bayern have shaped the Bundesliga in decisive fashion: from 2012/13 to 2022/23, the club won eleven consecutive championships before Bayer 04 Leverkusen broke the streak in 2023/24; Bayern reclaimed the title in 2024/25 and also led the Bundesliga table in April 2026. Such a run had previously been seen in German football only in the GDR, where state interference helped BFC Dynamo Berlin to ten consecutive titles.

Treble and Sextuple 2020

Barcelona humiliated 8-2, Champions League won in Lisbon, six trophies in one season.

Hansi Flick led FC Bayern to the club's second Treble after 2013. In the Champions League, played as a tournament in Lisbon due to the Covid pandemic, Bayern won every single match. In the final, Kingsley Coman beat his youth club Paris Saint-Germain 1-0. Before that, Bayern had humiliated FC Barcelona 8-2 in the quarter-final — a result that instantly achieved legendary status.

Subsequently, Flick also won the UEFA Super Cup, the DFL-Supercup and the FIFA Club World Cup — six trophies in one season, a Sextuple that only FC Barcelona in 2009 had previously achieved.

Lewandowski's 41 Goals (2020/21)

On the final matchday, in the 90th minute against Augsburg, Lewandowski broke Gerd Müller's 49-year-old record.

In the 2020/21 season, Robert Lewandowski broke Gerd Mueller's 49-year-old Bundesliga scoring record. On the final matchday, he scored his 41st goal of the season — against FC Augsburg in the 90th minute. The scene is legendary: the entire stadium was waiting for that one goal, and Lewandowski delivered. Gerd Mueller, already severely ill, was no longer consciously aware of the moment.

Championship Drama 2023

On the final matchday, Bayern won at Köln while BVB lost despite leading — Sancho missed a penalty.

On the final matchday of the 2022/23 season, Bayern needed a win at Koeln to secure the title ahead of BVB. Dortmund had to win their simultaneous match against Mainz. Bayern won 2-1, and BVB lost despite leading against Mainz — Jadon Sancho missed a penalty. The eleventh consecutive championship was complete. Thomas Tuchel had turned the ship around in his first half-year.
