Championship party in the centre of Munich! After the 5-1 victory over Köln, FC Bayern celebrated with the fans at Marienplatz. “When I see how many fans have come here, it warms my heart. I'm incredibly proud - the women's team have won the double and the men's team have won the league title in an impressive manner, they're in the cup final and reached the Champions League semi-finals. The team thrilled millions of fans with fantastic football,” said president Herbert Hainer. "It's an honour to be here every year. It's packed, everyone's happy - it's just a wonderful day,” commented CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen. fcbayern.com has put together the reaction from the title party.

President Herbert Hainer: “When I see how many fans have come here, it really warms my heart. I'm incredibly proud - the women's team have won the double and the men's team have won the league title in an impressive manner, they're in the cup final and reached the Champions League semi-finals. The team thrilled millions of fans with fantastic football. The team and head coach Vincent Kompany deserve the highest praise for that! It's always an honour for us to be received at the Town Hall. I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks to the City of Munich. What the team have achieved is great, they've thrilled people from all over the world with their football. The City of Munich and FC Bayern have been standing together for decades - not only in sport, but above all on socio-political issues. I want this to continue. We're proud Munich and Bavaria are our home, and we want to fill it with life in the socio-political domain too."

CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen: "It's an honour to be here every year. It's packed, everyone's happy - it's just a wonderful day. Vincent Kompany and the team really hit the gas yesterday, it was a long night. We're not done yet, so from tomorrow our full focus will be on the next task. Of course we want to win in Berlin. The results look very good so far. We played brilliant football, the fans love coming to the stadium, and that's why we do this. Alongside our successes, that's the most positive aspect of the season. We believe we can win, but we also have respect for Stuttgart. We want to win - and we will!"

Munich mayor Dominik Krause: "I'm absolutely delighted to be here. I've been here many times, but this is my first time as mayor. It's a great honour. The atmosphere in the city is incredible. FC Bayern is the flagship of Munich. When you're travelling the world as a politician, people always mention two things with regard to Munich - the Oktoberfest, but above all FC Bayern. Personally, I think it's wonderful FC Bayern always takes such a clear stance in favour of a colourful and diverse Munich. Vincent Kompany always strikes the right note with his objective and empathetic approach, the passionate appeal against racism in particular was outstanding. He didn't shy away or play anything down, he addressed it clearly and laid bare racist structures for everyone to see. I'd like to thank him from the bottom of my heart for that. Football has an extraordinary influence, and when people like him take a stand, it makes all the difference. It’s a good day for Munich and FC Bayern!"

Manuel Neuer: "It was great once again, the support was there, the team dressed up for the occasion. It was a really nice day. We have a great team, we can beat any opponents. We've had a fantastic season and want to go on the attack again next season. I felt something yesterday and signalled that. We didn't want to take any unnecessary risks."

Leon Goretzka: "I'm really looking forward to it, I want to soak it all up one more time and have fun. The most emotional moment came when I stood in front of the fans and felt the full power of the south stand. I'll never forget that! The interview isn't long enough to describe the eight years and share all my memories. I'm grateful for this time. We still have the cup final in Berlin, we absolutely want to win it. Then it'll be a proper farewell, I think."

Jonathan Tah: “I'm fit again - it was great yesterday, it was fun! It's very special, I'm glad I get to experience it for the first time. Now we'll celebrate together with the fans!”

Tom Bischof: "I'm feeling really good - it wasn't a long night in terms of sleep, but I'm fine. I'm really looking forward to seeing the fans, I'm fired up. We've got a few party animals: Pavlo, Upa and Phonzy of course. It'll be calmer today, then we'll have a normal week, and we want to win the cup trophy in the final!"
