They also have one foot in the semifinals of the Europa League, with a 2-0 advantage in the first leg of the quarter finals against West Ham United. Their chances of winning the competition are significant, as Liverpool are the clear favourites. However, they have the chance to end their trophy drought with a treble.
But for now, they are the Champions of Germany, and have ended Bayern’s decades-long hegemony.
