All the best bits from Bayern’s Bundesliga victory celebration


(FC Bayern)

A 4–1 win over Freiburg finished off Bayern Munich’s fifth consecutive Bundesliga title and both Philipp Lahm and Xabi Alonso’s career. It also marked the long overdue end of Carlo Ancelotti’s beer-bath virginity.

Also, David Alaba gave Arjen Robben a new head of hair.

Then Robben passed on the favor.

Here’s video of the beer tsunami (the GoPro on the glass was an inspired innovation):

Amidst the joy was a bit of sadness as Lahm and Alonso said goodbye

But the casual cool of Ancelotti in lederhosen remains.

One final thing you have to see: Manuel Neuer keeping his injured foot elevated while wearing his full kit and waving his hands in the air like he just doesn’t care.
