FC Bayern have once again achieved superlatives! After winning four championship titles in a row from 2013 to 2016, the Bavarians extended their record. Saturday evening's 6-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg meant the Reds wrapped up the championship shield for the fifth time on the bounce.
After the final whistle Carlo Ancelotti's men wore T-shirts with the motto "Mia 5an Mia" to celebrate with the away faithful. "The championship is the most honest title. We've secured the title for the fifth consecutive time, that's extraordinary and incredible. We've had a good season, and we absolutely deserved to win the title," chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge commented after the match.
