First Domestic Treble Season 2013

Lore & Background

The team, managed by Jupp Heynckes, dominated the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal. In the Champions League, they defeated Borussia Dortmund in the final, completing the treble. Bayern Munich are one of only three men's sides to have won both a domestic treble and a continental treble, alongside Celtic and Manchester City. However, Celtic are the only one to win both in the same season. Bayern Munich also join Barcelona and Al Ahly as the only men's clubs to have won the continental treble two or more times.

In Their Own Story

The rain at Wembley fell heavy on the red and white kit as the final whistle approached. The stadium was a sea of yellow and black, but one section roared with a different intensity. In the tunnel, Jupp Heynckes adjusted his glasses, watching his players warm up. When Mario Mandžukić's powerful header found the net in the 60th minute, the roar from the Bayern bench turned primal. Then came the moment etched in memory: Robben cutting inside onto his left foot, beating the sliding defender, and curling the shot into the far corner. The silence of the opposition was immediately swallowed by an eruption of pure joy as the captain lifted the trophy, sealing a legacy that had been decades in the making. This victory made Bayern Munich the ninth European club to win a continental treble, and one of only two clubs from Germany to achieve the feat.
