Bayern Munich Bags Sixth Trophy Of Football Season

Bundesliga record champions, Bayern Munich recently claimed the FIFA World Cup and cemented their place in footballing history.

The Bavarians with their latest success have matched Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona who won a historic sextuple of titles. Bayern won the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal Cup, Germany Super Cup, the UEFA Champions League, European Super Cup, and now the Club World Cup.

Benjamin Pavard scored the all-important goal in the second half of Thursday’s final against Mexican side Tigres to win the Club World Cup.

The Bundesliga giants are now undisputed champions of Germany, Europe and the World. Before Thursday night’s feat, Barcelona were the only team ever to hold all six titles at the same time before.

 

Guardiola’s legendary team in 2009 emerged winners of La Liga, the Copa del Rey, Supercopa de Espana, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

That squad is now frequently talked about among the greatest ever to play football. Bayern had almost matched them once before, between 2012 and 2013.
