Bayern Munich wrapped up another successful campaign with a 5-2 win over Augsburg in the Bundesliga earlier tonight.

The German outfit have won the title with a 13 point lead, and Hansi Flick will depart as a club legend. The German manager has guided Bayern Munich to every single trophy at club level, and he will leave this summer with his head held high.

Flick has been linked with the German national team job, and it will be interesting to see if he takes over from Joachim Low after the European Championships.

Late fightback not enough for Augsburg

Bayern Munich took the lead thanks to an own goal from Jeffrey Gouweleeuw on the 9th minute.

The likes of Serge Gnabry, Joshua Kimmich and Kingsley Coman put the home side 4-0 ahead in the first half, and Robert Lewandowski wrapped up the scoring at the stroke of full time.

Augsburg managed to score two second-half goals through Andre Hahn and Florian Niederlechner, but it was too little too late for the visitors.

Manuel Neuer also saved a penalty to keep for the hosts. 

Robert Lewandowski sets new Bundesliga record

The Polish striker scored his 41st goal of the League campaign tonight, and he has now beaten Gerd Muller’s all-time Bundesliga goal tally for a single season.

Lewandowski now has 53 goals in 46 club games for club and country heading into the European Championships, and it will be interesting to see if he can lead his country to glory now.

End of an era in Munich, as Bayern farewell its stars

Bayern Munich are set for a massive exodus, and key players like David Alaba, Javi Martinez and Jerome Boateng are all set to leave the club this summer.

It will be interesting to see how the German side replaces these players who have been a part of their successful spine for around a decade now.

Meanwhile, manager Hansi Flick is also leaving the club, and Julian Nagelsmann is expected to take over as his replacement in the summer.

Oliver Kahn will also succeed Karl-Heinz Rummenigge as Bayern Munich CEO after 31 December, 2021.
