The result also marked a significant moment for striker Harry Kane, who won the first title of his career. Kane had joined Bayern Munich in 2023.
Bayern Munich had the opportunity to clinch the Bundesliga crown on Saturday, May 3, but drew 3-3 against RB Leipzig.
Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig, standing in for Manuel Neuer, expressed disappointment after the late equalizer conceded against RB Leipzig. Urbig said the late goal was "bitter."
Kane missed the Leipzig match due to a one-game ban resulting from yellow card accumulation. His teammate Thomas Müller commented after the Leipzig game, "Next week, Harry!"
The title is Bayern's record 34th German championship. They will receive the trophy after their final home game.
Meanwhile, the race for Champions League qualification intensified. Freiburg's draw kept them in the fourth spot, just ahead of Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig. Eintracht Frankfurt stayed four points clear of Freiburg after a draw at Mainz.
