The German juggernaut has done it again, adding to its domestic dynasty with another Bundesliga trophy.
But the one constant for Bayern over most of the last decade has been the stellar play of Lewandowski. After a legendary season where he broke Gerd Müller’s longtime Bundesliga single-season goalscoring record, Lewandowski returned with another incredible campaign. All eyes move toward his future now, with reports swirling of a potential exit—Barcelona has been reported as a possible destination—despite club officials saying publicly that they have no desire to move him along. Lewandowski was also awarded with The Best FIFA Men’s Player award for 2021 but lost the Ballon d’Or to Lionel Messi, who said Lewandowski deserved one himself. Its goal differential (+62) is nearly twice as high as that of the next-best club, RB Leipzig (+33). Still, there is plenty to build upon after disappointing exits from its biggest cup competitions. Before the season, longtime chief executive officer Karl-Heinz Rummenigge retired after 30 years in an executive role with the club. After Rummenigge took over as chief executive in 2002, the club tallied 14 Bundesliga and 10 DFB-Pokal trophies along with two Champions League titles.

"The semi-finals are always the minimum goal for Bayern Munich." Head coach Julian Nagelsmann was the first to admit the team fell short of expectations in his first season. Bayern are the first club to win 10 consecutive titles in one of Europe's top leagues.
Bayern Munich clinched its 10th straight Bundesliga title after beating fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on Saturday.

Dortmund were awarded a penalty at the start of the second half when Marco Reus was felled by Joshua Kimmich and Can converted it. Gnabry put the ball in the net again on the half-hour mark but his effort was ruled offside. There was a lot of frustration in the past days and we could play it off today."
Bayern's 10th straight German championship is a record among Europe's top five leagues, eclipsing the nine Serie A titles in a row by Juventus from 2012-20.
Fürth lost all but one of its first 14 games until it claimed its first win in the 15th round by beating Union Berlin. The end of Leipzig’s 15-game unbeaten run across all competitions allowed Leverkusen to reclaim third place. The home fans didn’t have to wait long as Gnabry pressured Dortmund’s Dan-Axel Zagadou into a bad pass in the 34th. Though Dortmund had little hope left of catching the Bavarian powerhouse, Marco Rose’s players wanted to delay their rivals’ title celebrations for another day. Bayern’s players celebrated with the customary beer showers. Coach Stefan Leitl’s team was promoted last year when it finished second in the second division, but it never recovered from a poor start to the Bundesliga despite encouraging performances in the second half of the season.

Some other clubs are rumored to have offered the Germany international as much as £290,000 per week (roughly €18 million per year). The difference in offers, plus the extended wait has Rüdiger looking elsewhere.
Bayern Munich won a remarkable 10th straight title, while Everton's Premier League survival hopes took a hit. Here's what you missed this weekend.
The 25-year-old has been linked with summer moves to Arsenal and Juventus but Guardiola was strong in his postmatch news conference, saying defiantly: "He is our player". Things might change if City land Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund but Jesus could still have a key role to play between now and the end of the season as Guardiola chases a Premier League and Champions League double. Jesus has found opportunities hard to come by this season but he has a record of scoring big goals, including home and away against Real Madrid in the last 16 in 2020. The win moves Rayo 10 points clear of the drop zone, alleviating any relegation fears, and leaves Barca embroiled in a battle just to finish in the top four. Since the start of the season, the Neapolitans have lost against Spezia and Fiorentina, twice against Empoli, and they've dropped points against Cagliari and nine-man Verona. Worse, their home form is pathetic for a title contender: They're seventh-best in Serie A with nine wins, three draws and five losses. Their final three opponents are at home against fellow relegation-fighters Hertha and double-trophy-chasers RB Leipzig, with a trip to derby rivals Bochum sandwiched in between. Alvaro Garcia scored a goal at Camp Nou that had implications at the top and the bottom of LaLiga as Rayo Vallecano stunned Barcelona, 1-0, making it a third consecutive home defeat in all competitions for Xavi's side. (That said, they do still have a six-point cushion for now, and with just five matches remaining.) More painfully for Barca, the result also means Real Madrid are just one point away from clinching their 35th LaLiga title. You can certainly make a case for Serge Gnabry's goal to open the scoring in the Bayern-Dortmund game. For many in the 75,000-strong crowd, it was a return to "football as it's meant to be" after months of crowd restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic. Paris Saint-Germain were crowned Ligue 1 champions for the 10th time on Saturday evening at the Parc des Princes, equalling the French record set by Saint-Etienne and Marseille. However, it felt like anything but a celebration. Frank Lampard will be focusing on Watford away on May 11 and home games against Brentford and Crystal Palace, but survival is far from guaranteed, particularly with Burnley now in a good run of form under caretaker boss Mike Jackson. Even though they have a game in hand on their immediate rivals, it means very little when you're down at the bottom.

The number one of the lilacs will probably look for a new job. The 52-year-old is well known to the people of Munich, from 2013 to 2015 he coached the Bayern amateurs. As far as the two potential newcomers are concerned, FC Bayern now has a need for action. The PSG striker has also been linked with Los Blancos and his move is said to be almost certain . Should Pentz leave Austria, Früchtl could move to the Austrian capital. Again and again he was discussed as a candidate for the Bayern head coaching position. Dortmund came out of the gates strong in the second half and scored a penalty through Emre Can in the 52nd minute after Joshua Kimmich was ruled to have brought down Marco Reus in the box. A replacement would then of course need to be found. Bayern Munich secured their tenth straight Bundesliga title by way of a 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the Rückrunde installment of Der Klassiker at the Allianz Arena. The season as a whole might be a bit of a disappointment, but take nothing away from Bayern becoming the first team in Europe’s top five leagues to have won ten titles in a row! But we don’t want to risk the club. With three match weeks left in the Bundesliga, Bayern will enjoy this for the time being. “That’s up to the supervisory board.
