Treble-chasing Bayern put beer showers on ice despite title win

Despite sealing their 35th Bundesliga title on Sunday, Bayern Munich put the celebrations, including the traditional beer showers, on ice as they continue to chase a treble this season.

Bayern came from a goal down to beat Stuttgart 4-2 to move into an unassailable 15-point lead over second-placed Borussia Dortmund with just four games remaining.

While images of players chasing each other across the grass holding large glasses of beer are synonymous with Bayern's almost annual celebrations, the club delayed the festivities with Wednesday's German Cup semifinal at Bayer Leverkusen in mind.

Bayern are also through to the semifinals of the Champions League, where they face holders Paris Saint-Germain.

Luis Diaz had two assists and Jamal Musiala one in the first-half, but both were subbed off at halftime ahead of the final phase of the season.

"I think it's coming – yes, it's coming," Musiala told DAZN of the traditional beer shower celebrations.

"I think we're planning a proper celebration, probably at the last home game.

"We're going straight to the changing rooms. I don't think much is going on right now, but definitely for the last game."

Bayern striker Harry Kane, who has two Bundesliga titles and a Supercup since joining the Bavarian giants in 2023, said the celebrations would be sweeter with more silverware.

"I think it's still important to celebrate, and I will with my family and friends and the guys in the players' lounge, but it's a little bit different to last year.

"We weren't in any other competitions, so we had the chance to really celebrate and enjoy a big night together.

"That probably won't happen yet, but we'll find time for that... For now we enjoy tonight, but then obviously the full focus will be on Wednesday."

Before the game, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany told DAZN: "We're now at a stage in this season where we can all live with waiting a little longer before we celebrate."

After the game, Kompany turned his attention to the two other trophies on offer.

"We've had very few losses this season. So many successes are possible. We're going to Leverkusen. We know it's a football match, anything can happen," Kompany said.

"But we simply have the belief that we can do it. That's worth a lot in football."

Joshua Kimmich, who was captain for the match with Manuel Neuer rested, praised his side's ruthless title defence, but warned rivals the Bavarian giants were not done yet.

"The way we won the title was special. We've rarely won as consistently and convincingly as we did this year.

"But we still have a few goals this season."
