In his first year, Vincent Kompany has brought Bundesliga glory back to Bayern Munich.
On a rainy Saturday in Leipzig, Bayern Munich rallied from a 2-0 halftime deficit to take a 3-2 lead into stoppage time. In the dying moments of the match, Yussuf Poulsen chipped Jonas Urbig to ruin the celebration. With the draw, Bayern essentially bagged the title with a nine-point lead and a plus-30 goal differential margin, but delayed celebrations until it was made official.
It was a cruel fate for Bayern but a fate that was rectified today. Bayer Leverkusen’s 2-2 draw at Freiburg officially conceded the title. Bayern gathered at the Käfer restaurant to watch the match together.
This year’s title is significant for a variety of Bayern players:
- For the English players on the squad, Harry Kane and Eric Dier, their first career trophy is long overdue
- Thomas Müller extends his record to 13 Bundesliga titles
- After spending last season on loan at Leverkusen, Josip Stanišić becomes the leading streak holder with two consecutive Meisterschalen
