Is Bayern Munich's run the greatest in sports history?

June 3, 2026 • 12:00 AM

To say Bayern Munich's current run in the Bundesliga is nothing short of historic would be an understatement.

The best sports betting sites love Bayern Munich to repeat as champion - and if they do, they will have won nine consecutive Bundesliga titles.
