“They are good in the duels and one of the most competitive teams I ever faced in my career in terms of duels and one against one; long balls with Havertz and Rice, second balls — fantastic.

“When you beat them once, it’s difficult. But twice [in a short time], they are so competitive and aggressive in all departments. We had momentum, they had momentum, we had chances, they had chances.

“At the end in these type of games, it is little margins. I’ve been so demanding, but the reality is it’s just one game. They are top of the league with one goal difference [better]. We have to enjoy it, celebrate it, take the good things, but don’t lose the focus. The focus is in three days, we go to Burnley.”

Bayern Munich beat Stuttgart to clinch Bundesliga title

Published

on

Bayern Munich secured yet another Bundesliga title after beating Stuttgart 4-2 at home on Sunday.

Top scorer Harry Kane scored his 32nd goal of the season after coming on as a second-half substitute as the Bavarians won their 35th German league title — 34 of them coming in the Bundesliga era.

“To finish the league off in ​the way we have with the goals we scored… credit to the lads… we still have a lot to ​play for… but all the hard work, this makes it all worth it,” said Kane.

Bayern Munich cruise to title 

The win moved the Bavarian giants an unassailable 15 points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund with four games to spare.

Germany captain Joshua Kimmich, who won his 10th league title with Bayern, called the victory “very special.”

“The way we did it, we were very consistent…and we haven’t achieved that form so often. I hope 10 more titles come on top of this,” he said.

The “Meisterschale” (“champions’ shield” in English) trophy is expected to be handed out after Bayern’s final game of the season at home to Cologne on May 16.

Another dominant campaign

Bayern have only suffered one defeat in the league this season, at home to fellow Bavarians Augsburg in January, and a league-low of four ties so far. 

They have also scored 109 goals so far this season — another record.

Bayern already clinched the Super Cup in August, also against Stuttgart, and will take on Bayer Leverkusen in the German Cup semi-final on Wednesday.

In Europe, Vincent Kompany’s team has reached the Champions League semi-finals, where they meet holders Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg on April 28.

“It is April 19 and we are in every competition. We have had lots of success with every player in the squad. We go to Leverkusen knowing anything can happen, but with real belief,” Kompany told DAZN.

Kompany, whose only previous job as head coach was at Premier League side Burnley, took over in 2024.

Kurt Angle has confirmed that a major WWE Superstar is now retired. The aforementioned star was in action at WrestleMania 42.

Night Two of WrestleMania 42 kicked off with a singles match between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi, where the latter picked up the win inside five minutes. After the loss, Lesnar left his gloves and boots in the ring before embracing Paul Heyman and bidding an emotional farewell to the fans, leaving everyone speculating that he’s done with in-ring competition.

Kurt Angle, who was one of Brock’s fiercest opponents back in the day, took to X to reflect on the shocking turn of events. The Olympic Gold medalist confirmed that the Beast Incarnate is indeed retired.

“Love you my brother. There will only be one like you. Enjoy retirement Brock.”


Brock Lesnar picked Oba Femi as his WWE WrestleMania 42 opponent

Fans had been salivating at the thought of Brock Lesnar facing Oba Femi ever since the latter made his main roster debut. WWE fulfilled their wishes as the two powerhouses squared off at WrestleMania 42 in an enthralling bout. It was reported after the match that it was The Beast Incarnate’s choice to face Oba in what looks to be his final WWE match.

Oba Femi was in high spirits after the match. The Ruler was present on the WrestleMania 42 post-show, where he addressed his win, noting that he has nullified 25 years of dominance from Brock Lesnar:

“It feels amazing, because it’s one thing to tell everybody what you are, and another to show everybody exactly what you are. I took 25 years of history, 25 years of dominance from the Beast and made it null, because I am what I say I am. The Ruler, the Destroyer, the Bringer of War, Oba Femi!”

There is still no confirmation from WWE regarding Brock Lesnar’s retirement. The Beast Incarnate could still swerve the fans and return to action down the line. However, his actions at WrestleMania 42 indicate that he has, indeed, donned his wrestling boots for the last time.
