Bayern Munich has sealed their eighth straight German top-flight title.

This season’s version of the Bundesliga title race ended in the most anti-climatic way possible, especially when compared to the season before.

In 2019, Bayern had to claw their way back from a nine-point deficit at the winter break to overtake a listless Borussia Dortmund side in the final weeks. The title was not decided until the final matchday.

In the 43rd minute of the title holder’s match on Tuesday, Robert Lewandowski, who scores world-class goals as often as people eat breakfast, bounced a ball past the keeper for the only goal in the game. Their opponent, Bremen, who score goals as often as people change the oil in their car, would not respond.

With the final whistle, FCB won another trophy for their vast collection, their 21st Bundesliga title and 30th domestic league trophy overall.

The last time another German club raised the trophy was when Jürgen Klopp was still jumping on the sidelines for Dortmund. That was in 2012 when his club won their second in a row.

Many numbers reveal how the German super club won this title in such a decisive manner.
