Bayern Munich have secured their 35th Bundesliga title after a 4-2 comeback win over VfB Stuttgart.
Meanwhile, Manchester City defeated Arsenal 2-1 in a crucial Premier League clash, intensifying the title race.

Bayern Munich sealed the Bundesliga crown with four matches to spare, extending their dominance in German football.

Harry Kane scored his 32nd league goal of the season as Bayern rallied from behind to defeat Stuttgart. Goals from Raphael Guerreiro, Nicolas Jackson, and Alphonso Davies completed the turnaround after Stuttgart had taken an early lead.

The victory confirms Bayern’s 13th league title in the last 14 seasons, underlining their sustained dominance in the Bundesliga.

Coach Vincent Kompany rotated his squad ahead of a domestic cup semi-final, but the team delivered a decisive performance, scoring three goals in a seven-minute burst before halftime.

Bayern’s attacking output has also been historic, with the club surpassing 100 league goals this season and setting a new Bundesliga scoring benchmark.
