    Bayern Munich, Champions League Final, Trophy

    German legends, European conquerors and global icons - Bayern Munich are one of the world’s biggest football clubs.

    Bayern Munich are Germany's most successful football club. They won the treble (DFB-Pokal, Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League) in 2012/13 and 2019/20.

    They are based in Munich, Bavaria, and play their home matches at the 75,000 capacity Allianz Arena

    The club is followed around the world but they tend to be strongly disliked by Bundesliga fans. The hatred is unsurprising given their success however, Bayern's road to the top was not an easy one.
    In more recent times, a Bayern team containing the likes of Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer has been one of the most difficult to beat not only in Germany but in all of Europe.

    In March 2023, Julian Nagelsmann led Bayern to the Bundesliga title at the first time of asking, topping the table with 77 points ahead of Borussia Dortmund in the 2021/22 season. It was Bayern's tenth consecutive Bundesliga.

    However, Bayern sacked Nagelsmann in March 2023 after dropping to second in the table following a 2-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.

    Under Thomas Tuchel, Bayern won their 33rd national title in 2023, but 30 of those have come since 1968/69, a season which ended a 37-year title drought.

    Tuchel confirmed he was stepping down from his role as head coach at the end of the 2023/24 season after the club missed out on the domestic title for the first time in over a decade.

    Tuchel was replaced by Burnley manager Vincent Kompany in May 2024.
