Bayern Munich is Bundesliga champions once again. The Bavarian giants secured their eighth consecutive national title on Tuesday night when they got a 0-1 away win against Werder Bremen.
Bayern established the lead in the first half of the game, thanks to Robert Lewandowski’s volley. Bremen had the chance to extend the suspense when left-back Alphonso Davies received a red card 10 minutes before the end of regular time but failed to capitalize on their attacks.
With three points from this game, Bayern got to 76 points in total and 10 more than their closest follower Borussia Dortmund. This made them uncatchable at the top, considering that Borussia has just three games to play before the end of 2019/20 Bundesliga season.
“We have showed that we are the best team in Germany,” said Lewandowski after the game.
Despite claiming the Bundesliga title, Bayern Munich won’t relax just yet. The club now eyes trophies in German Cup and UEFA Champions League.
“This is Bayern Munich, the goals are always high,” said Bayern’s manager Hansi Flick. “We have now reached our first big goal, the cup is now the next goal, then the Champions League, but you can’t plan for that.”
Bayern will face Bayer Leverkusen in the German Cup final on July 4th, pursuing their second consecutive and 20th overall trophy in the competition.
When it comes to the Champions League, the German club is close to reaching the quarterfinals after beating Chelsea 3-0 in the first round-of-16 game at Stamford Bridge. They have five UCL trophies with the last one coming in the 2012/13 season.
