Bayern Munich

Bayern were founded on 27 February 1900 by eleven footballers who walked out of the gymnastics club MTV 1879 Munchen over its refusal to join the German football association. Long overshadowed domestically, the club won three consecutive European Cups from 1974 to 1976 under Franz Beckenbauer and has since become the dominant force in German football, adding the trophy in 2001, 2013 and 2020 and completing trebles in the latter two years. Bayern left the Olympiastadion for the Allianz Arena in 2005.
