Wiki on Bayern

Fußball-Club Bayern München e. V., commonly known as Bayern Munich or FC Bayern is a German professional sports club based in Munich, Bavaria. They are best known for their professional men's association football team, who play in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league system.

Bayern are the most successful club in German football history, having won a record 33 national titles, including eleven consecutive titles from 2013 to 2023, and a record 20 national cups, along with numerous European honours.

Bayern Munich was founded in 1900 by eleven players, led by Franz John. Although Bayern won its first national championship in 1932, the club was not selected for the Bundesliga during its inception in 1963. The club had its period of greatest success in the mid-1970s when, under the captaincy of Franz Beckenbauer, they won the European Cup three consecutive times (1974–1976).

Their luck ran out in May 1982 when they met ASTON VILLA 😃👍
