Bayern Munich defeated VfB Stuttgart 4-2 at Allianz Arena in Munich on Sunday local time to secure the Bundesliga title. Needing just a point for the championship, Bayern scored four goals before their home fans, finishing with 25 wins, four draws and one loss for 79 points. Second-place Borussia Dortmund, on 64 points, cannot catch them.
South Korean international Kim Min-jae played the full match at center back, celebrating his second straight Bundesliga title and third overall major European league championship following his 2023 Serie A win with Napoli. He joins former Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung as the only South Koreans with at least three Big Five league titles; Park won four Premier League crowns in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011.
Bayern Munich advanced to the semifinals of both the DFB-Pokal domestic cup and the UEFA Champions League, positioning them for a potential treble.
