Jamal Musiala's goal for Bayern Munich in the 89th minute against Cologne at RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday saved the 2022-23 season for the club because at least they finished with one trophy.

But, just how happy will Bayern and their fans be at the Bundesliga title after winning it 11 times in row, especially after they were eliminated from both the UEFA Champions League and the DFB-Pokal?

Whatever target CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic had when they decided to replace Julian Nagelsmann with Thomas Tuchel in the manager position in the middle of the season, they failed to achieve it. Now both Bayern legends paid the price by losing their jobs.

Bayern are likely to offer full support to Tuchel this summer on transfers to build a competitive team. After that, he may have no excuse for not leading the club back to their former heights.
