Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich sets unprecedented record
By winning the 2017-2018 Bundesliga championship 5 rounds early, Bayern Munich set an unprecedented record in the history of the tournament.
In the away match at Impuls Arena in round 29 of the Bundesliga last night, Bayern Munich was soon behind Augsburg after Niklas Sule's goal in the 18th minute. However, coach Jupp Heynckess and his team still showed their mettle and class when they came from behind to win 4-1.
Midfield trio Corentin Tolisso (32'), James Rodriguez (38'), Arjen Robben (62') and striker Sandro Wagner (87') were the ones who scored to help Bayern leave with all 3 points.

With this victory, Bayern has 72 points after 29 matches, 20 points more than the second-placed team Schalke 04 (Bayern played 1 more match). In the context that Schalke only has 6 matches left, the Bavarian team has officially been crowned champion 5 rounds early.
Thus, in all 6 recent seasons, Bayern have been crowned champions of the Bundesliga. In the history of the tournament, no other club has done the same.
For coach Jupp Heynckes, this is the 8th time he has won the Bundesliga. Of which, 4 times were with Borussia Monchengladbach and 4 times with Bayern as "captain".
Since the Bundesliga was founded in 1963, this is the 28th time Bayern has won the championship. Currently, the team at Allianz Arena is the most successful club.
According to Opta, in the last 10 seasons, midfielder Thiago Alcantara has won the national championship 9 times. Of which, 4 times were with Barcelona and 5 times were with Bayern.
