Doha (dpa) - The Munich club world champions hugged each other before captain Manuel Neuer received the next trophy from FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
On the podium, the Bayern professionals danced with masks in the corona pandemic in Qatar and cheered the completion of their six-title work.
The corona protection matched the excitement about the missing Thomas Müller.
The vice-captain could not help with the final act after a positive corona test.
But the Munich all-round winners narrowly defeated the challenger Tigres UANL from Mexico even without their driver, but deserved 1-0 (0-0).
It was tough work that French world champion Benjamin Pavard led to success in the 59th minute with a goal that was only recognized after video evidence.
«Congratulations to my team.
She has achieved something historic, six titles in one season, ”said coach Hansi Flick.
The 55-year-old was “very proud” of his team, especially after the last few days with “a lot of unrest”.

"Now we have the six-pack, that's a big story," said Robert Lewandowski happily.
The world footballer also mentioned Müller, who had to isolate himself from the team and was not allowed to be in the stadium: “It's a shame that Thomas couldn't be there.
I hope he'll be back quickly. "
Joshua Kimmich said: "We got the thing for him too."
The national player looks back on the entire six-title year: “This sixth title is a certain time after the other titles.
It was hard work. "
After the final whistle, Flick and his players were able to cheer for their complete work in front of around 7,000 spectators in the Education City Stadium - but only briefly.
That night, the Bayern convoy wanted to travel back to wintry Munich.
"You can enjoy it a little in flight," remarked Lewandowski at the celebration above the clouds.
Six titles in one season - only FC Barcelona with world star Lionel Messi and coach Pep Guardiola had achieved that in 2009.
The Munich title final was not a work of art in terms of football.
The Champions League winner deservedly won the Club World Cup for the second time after 2013 in Morocco.
In the game-decisive scene, Munich could only cheer after the video review of the goal: After a cross from Joshua Kimmich, the falling Tigres goalkeeper Nahuel Guzman was only able to fend off Lewandowski's head, which was probably also touched with his arm, in front of Pavard's feet.
The full-back easily hit the empty goal.
After studying video, the goal was given.
Before the break, a hit by Kimmich after studying the TV recording was withdrawn because Lewandowski was offside in the trajectory of the ball.

The preparation for the final had turned out to be complicated for six-title trainer Hansi Flick.
After Jérôme Boateng left the tournament prematurely for private reasons, he also had to replace his fixed point Müller on the match day.
Müller's corona test was positive.
Bayern will also miss the 31-year-old in the next league games.
So Flick had to improvise.
Niklas Süle replaced Boateng in the defense center, and Leroy Sané and Lucas Hernández also joined the team compared to their 2-0 semi-final win against Al Ahly Cairo.
Serge Gnabry tried to get offensive accents in Müller's position.
As shrewd as Müller, the national player Sané put the ball on a quickly executed corner: The otherwise ineffective Sané slammed him on the crossbar in his best scene (34th).
A smart move by Flick was to move defense chief David Alaba forward to midfield.
The Austrian was present alongside Kimmich and initiated many attacks.
When Bayern pressed the pace, train came into the sometimes boring game.
Defensively, the Munich team did not allow anything.
The French veteran André-Pierre Gignac, who scored the Tigres with three goals in the final, could not develop decisively.

Lewandowski, who had scored both goals in Munich in the semifinals against Al Ahly, was only rarely able to stage himself against the robust defense of the Mexicans with the ex-Frankfurt Carlos Salcedo.
But Lewandowski had the majority of Pavard's golden goal.
Corentin Tolisso then hit the post, substitute Douglas Costa missed another big chance to make it 2-0.
