Bayern Munich clinched a record-extending 35th Bundesliga title after a dramatic 4–2 comeback win over VfB Stuttgart, with Harry Kane scoring his 32nd goal of the season in another landmark campaign.

Despite falling behind to a Chris Führich strike, Bayern roared back in devastating fashion, scoring three goals in seven minutes to seize control and secure the title with four games to spare.

Raphaël Guerreiro equalised before Nicolas Jackson and Alphonso Davies struck in quick succession, both assisted by Luis Díaz, turning the match decisively in Bayern’s favour. Kane then added a second-half goal to put the result beyond doubt.

Coach Vincent Kompany had rotated his squad with a German Cup semi-final in mind, resting several key players including Manuel Neuer and Kane initially, but Bayern’s depth again proved decisive.

Although Chema Andrés pulled one back late for Stuttgart, the result never looked in doubt as Bayern eased into title celebrations, marking yet another dominant domestic campaign.

The victory underlines Bayern’s continued supremacy in German football, with the club now having won 13 of the last 14 Bundesliga titles.
