Bayern Munich capped its Bundesliga dominance by winning the championship title in the 2025/2026 season and subsequently also won the DFB Cup, securing the double. In the Berlin final against VfB Stuttgart, they triumphed 3:0, with striker Harry Kane scoring all three goals. This performance confirms the club's investment in the British striker, who reached an incredible 61 goals in the season, including ten in the cup. Kane thus became the man of the match and, with his form, closed out the most successful season of his career. Sueddeutsche Zeitung ↗
However, the triumph did not go off without problems. The final was interrupted for five minutes due to massive protest actions with pyrotechnics from fans of both clubs, who were criticizing decisions by the German Football Association. The DFB control committee is now investigating possible sanctions against both Bayern and Stuttgart, with both teams facing fines in the six-figure range. Coach Vincent Kompany took the necessary rest after the match and expressed his plans for the double, which he had counted on despite not achieving the treble. Spiegel.de ↗
Parallel to the celebration, however, internal tensions emerged within the club. Bayern patriarch Uli Hoeneß expressed "doubts" about the future of sporting director Max Eberl, whose contract runs until 2027. Eberl responded clearly to the criticism, declaring that he would continue "if that is what is wanted." Hoeneß, on the other hand, declared that Kane is the best transfer in the club's history and is practically unsellable. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, after months of discussions, signed a long-term contract through the end of the 2026/2027 season, and despite a calf muscle injury, confirmed himself as the number one for German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann. The federal coach nominated Neuer for the World Cup squad instead of Oliver Baumann of Hoffenheim. Tagesspiegel ↗
Bayern also bid farewell to half of its left-back Alphonso Davies and moved into the future with new assistants. The club is also preparing for the Supercup against Borussia Dortmund, which will take place on August 22, and plans to stabilize its squad for the upcoming season with the treble in mind, which, according to Kompany, was not achieved.
