Bayern Munich seal 35th Bundesliga title with win over Stuttgart

Bayern Munich came from behind to beat Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena and win the German Bundesliga title for the 35th time.

The Bavarians, who have lost just once all season, needed only a point to clinch the crown after nearest challengers Borussia Dortmund suffered a defeat at Hoffenheim on Saturday night.

But Stuttgart, chasing a place in next season’s Champions League, threatened to spoil the party when Chris Fuhrich curled home a superb effort after 21 minutes.

The hosts responded through Raphael Guerreiro 10 minutes later, before on-loan Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson, deputising for Harry Kane, put them ahead two minutes after that.

Alphonso Davies added a third nine minutes before the break, improvising well to flick the ball past Alexander Nubel from inside the area after a pass from Luis Diaz.

Coming on to replace Jamal Musiala at half-time, it took Kane seven minutes to add a fourth with his 32nd league goal of the season. while Chema Andres scored a late consolation for the visitors in the 88th minute.

The victory seals a 13th Bundesliga title in the past 14 seasons for Bayern and keeps their hopes of winning the treble alive, with semi-finals against Bayer Leverkusen in DFB‑Pokal and Paris St-Germain in the Champions League to come later this month.
