It’s official: nobody is faster than super Bayern. FCB have won the German league title earlier than ever before in the 51-year history of the Bundesliga. The Reds secured the club’s 24th title on Tuesday night with a 2-0 victoryat Hertha Berlin. And Guardiola’s merry men have even managed to beat their own record set last season: Bayern won Germany’s top flight on Matchday 28 last term (6 April 2013) and have now gone one better by being the first club to win the championship in March - on Matchday 27.
FC Bayern have become experts in winning the league title early. The Reds have secured seven of the eight earliest title wins in the history of the Bundesliga:
| Decided on Matchday 27: | FC Bayern (2013/14) |
| Decided on Matchday 28: | FC Bayern (2012/13) |
| Decided on Matchday 30: | FC Bayern (1972/73, 2002/03) |
| Decided on Matchday 31: | Werder Bremen (1987/88), FC Bayern (1998/99, 2004/05, 2007/08) |
Bayern are also pace-setters on the European stage. Since the introduction of the three points for a win rule, no club in the top five leagues has won their respective domestic title with more than five games to play.
