The 2020–21 season marked a historic chapter in the illustrious history of FC Bayern Munich, as the club celebrated its 122nd season and the 56th consecutive season in the top echelon of German football. Over the course of the season, Bayern Munich engaged in multiple competitions, leaving an indelible mark on the football landscape.

 

Apart from the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich actively participated in the DFB-Pokal, DFL-Supercup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup during the 2020–21 season. The span of the season extended from August 24, 2020, to June 30, 2021, and witnessed the club's relentless pursuit of excellence on both domestic and international fronts.

 

Building on the triumphs of the previous season's continental treble, Bayern Munich's success in the DFL-Supercup, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup during the 2020–21 campaign propelled them to an extraordinary achievement. By clinching victory in all six competitions they contested throughout the 2020 calendar year, Bayern Munich joined the exclusive company of Barcelona, which accomplished a similar "sextuple" feat in 2009. This historic achievement solidified Bayern Munich's status as a football powerhouse, etching their name in the annals of European football history.

 

Guiding the club through this remarkable season were key figures at the helm. President Herbert Hainer, Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, and Manager Hansi Flick played pivotal roles in steering Bayern Munich to success. The iconic Allianz Arena served as the stage for the team's home matches, witnessing memorable moments and victories throughout the season.

 

While Bayern Munich secured the Bundesliga title with a dominant performance, their journey in the DFB-Pokal saw them reach the second round. Notably, the club achieved success in the DFL-Supercup, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup, showcasing their prowess on both the domestic and international fronts.

 

The top goalscorer accolades were claimed by the prolific Robert Lewandowski, who netted an impressive 41 goals in the Bundesliga and a total of 48 goals across all competitions. The team's biggest triumph was an emphatic 8–0 victory against Schalke 04, highlighting their attacking prowess. However, they also faced a challenging moment with a 1–4 defeat against 1899 Hoffenheim.

 

As the curtains closed on the 2020–21 season, Bayern Munich stood tall, adorned with silverware and the pride of achieving a historic "sextuple." The season served as a testament to the club's commitment to excellence, solidifying its legacy as one of the preeminent forces in European football.
