Bayern Munich celebrates its 35th trophy with a "manita" against

Bayern Munich dominated their last match against Cologne, winning 5-1. With a total of 122 goals in the Bundesliga, the Bavarian team also set a new European record! This record was previously held by Real Madrid (121 goals in the 2011-2012 season). Bayern Munich thus becomes the European record holder for goals scored in a single season in the championship.

Against Cologne, England striker Harry Kane celebrated twice just minutes after the farewells of Goretzka, Guerreiro and Jackson, who were presented with bouquets of flowers and photo collages by Bayern's management. Two quick goals in just three minutes! A volley (10th minute) and an indirect free kick (13th minute), both assisted by Kimmich – Harry Kane's 34th and 35th goals this season.

Lothar Matthäus joked on Sky while commentating on the match: "Only six more are needed! (to break Robert Lewandowski's record/Editor's note) If he keeps up like this, he will break the goal record." Bayern's South Stand chanted: "We will win, we will win"!

After Musiala lost the ball in midfield, El Mala began a run towards the opposition half. With the ball at his feet, Cologne's best talent was faster than Bayern's defense and kept his cool in front of Neuer (18′), narrowing the score to 2-1 and offering a glimmer of hope for Cologne coach René Wagner, who needed at least one good performance from his team in Munich to secure his future at the club.

But less than four minutes later, Karl (playing as a starter for the first time) sent the ball back into the penalty area, from where Bischof fired a low shot to make it 3-1.

After almost an hour of play, Neuer leaves the field for no apparent reason, making way for former Cologne goalkeeper Jonas Urbig (22). Michael Olise, the newly elected Bundesliga “Player of the Season”, also enters the field (in place of Karl). Meanwhile, Harry Kane is still not satisfied with his performance in goal! He scores his third goal to make it 4-1 in the 69th minute.

A touching scene in this last match of the Bundesliga, 2025-2026, would come ten minutes before the final whistle. Goretzka receives applause from the stadium and all his teammates and is substituted. Jackson enters the game in his place and scores with his first touch and brings the numbers to 5-1. Then the celebrations of the Bayern champions begin, 35 trophies in the Bundesliga!

In the next match, Werder Bremen – Borussia Dortmund, the yellow and blacks triumphed 0:2 with goals from Guirassy and Couto. Dortmund is declared the Bundesliga runner-up, accumulating 73 points, 16 points behind the Bavarians.

The Bundesliga will also send Leipzig and Stuttgart to the Champions League next season. Leipzig was defeated by Freiburg with a score of 4:1, while Stuttgart was held 2:2 by Frankfurt. 

Hoffenheim and Leverkusen are in the Europa League, despite neither winning their last match. The “Aspirin” failed to win against Hamburg, only 1:1 at the “BayArena”, while Hoffenheim not only came away without a point from Monchengladbach, but also suffered a goal poker.

Meanwhile, in the Conference League, the Bundesliga sends Freiburg, who are also the finalists of the Europa League, to Leipzig on May 20 next season.
