Bayern Munich celebrated their fifth straight Bundesliga title this weekend, and like the previous four years, any hopes of a title race were squashed by Easter. Still, you won’t hear anyone in Munich hailing it a great season. In fact, after failing to make the Champions League semifinals for the first time in six years and losing to Dortmund in the German Cup semis, this was, statistically speaking, Bayern’s worst season since 2012, when Bayern failed to win a single title.
Of course, almost every club would kill for a season like the one Bayern just had. But this is Bayern, where “one title isn’t enough,” as club president Uli Hoeness recently reiterated.
