Bayern Munich wrapped up the 2024-25 Bundesliga crown on Sunday night by outgunning Stuttgart 4-2 at the Allianz Arena, giving them an unbeatable lead with four matches still on the calendar.
The hosts fell behind in the 21st minute when Chris Führich tapped in a low cross from Bilal El Khannouss, but the setback lasted only ten minutes. A blistering six-minute burst turned the game on its head: Raphaël Guerreiro finished a fine Jamal Musiala run, Nicolas Jackson slid in the go-ahead goal and Alphonso Davies smashed in a third before half-time.
England captain Harry Kane added a fourth from close range soon after the restart, moving to 32 league goals. Stuttgart netted a late consolation through Chema Andrés, yet the title party had already started in the stands.
The win lifts Bayern to 75 points, 15 clear of nearest chasers Borussia Dortmund and ends any doubt about the destination of the silverware. The Bavarians have also set a new competition record by scoring 109 goals and still have 360 minutes left to extend that mark.
Coach Vincent Kompany praised his squad but warned that bigger tests lie ahead. “We can enjoy tonight, maybe a glass of red, then our minds turn to Leverkusen in the Cup and Paris Saint-Germain in Europe,” he said. “The season is alive; we want more.”
Bayern now switch focus to a German Cup semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen and a Champions League last-four meeting with PSG, chasing a treble that has eluded the club since 2020.
In Italy, AC Milan edged Verona 1-0 to strengthen second place in Serie A and move 12 points behind runaway leaders Inter, while AZ Alkmaar thrashed NEC Nijmegen 5-1 to lift the Dutch Cup in Rotterdam.
