"Bayern Munich's 2025/26 season was full of ups and downs, claiming two of a possible four trophies this season. The Bavarians conclude their Bundesliga season by hosting FC Köln before properly celebrating their Bundesliga triumph with the much-anticipated beer showers; the men's and women's teams will celebrate their trophies at the Marienplatz the day after."
"Three things to know about Bayern: Should Bayern win this match, that means they'll finish the season with 89 points which is the third highest tally since 2012/13 (91 points) and 2013/14 (90 points). Bayern already beat Köln twice this season, 4-1 in the DFB-Pokal Second Round (Round of 32) and 3-1 in the league. If Bayern brings on a debutant from the academy, he would be the 11th teenager to feature for the club in the league. Bayern is currently on 10, shared with Schalke's 1980/81 team."
"Three things to know about Köln: Köln sit in 14th place on 32 points after 33 matchdays, which is the lowest points tally for a 14th placed team since Bochum in 2008/09. If Köln ends up losing and their 32-point tally is solidified, they will join St. Pauli (2024/25) and the aforementioned Bochum team with the lowest ever tally for a 14th placed team. In eight of the last 11 Bundesliga seasons, 32 points would mean a team is either relegated or finish in the relegation playoff spot."
"Köln hasn't won a match since the 3-1 win over Werder Bremen in mid-April. Their only other wins this calendar year have come in January (against Mainz and Wolfsburg). In this specific fixture, Bayern has bragging rights for the biggest win across all historic matches: an 8-0 thumping in the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals in 2002/03.

Bayern Munich conclude the Bundesliga season at the Allianz Arena against FC Köln, with kickoff set for 3:30 PM local time. Bayern have already beaten Köln twice this season, including a 4-1 DFB-Pokal win and a 3-1 league victory. Winning would give Bayern 89 points, the third-highest total since 2012/13. Bayern may also feature an academy debutant, which would make him the club’s 11th teenager to play in the league. Köln enter in 14th place with 32 points after 33 matchdays, their lowest tally for that position since 2008/09. Köln have not won since mid-April and face relegation pressure if they remain on 32 points.
