The gloomy atmosphere within the management of the Munich club, which decided to remove its sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic and its chairman of the board Oliver Kahn just minutes after the coronation in Cologne on Saturday, gave way to the party for an afternoon, Sunday.
Under the sun and an azure blue sky, the black Marienplatz (14,500 people) took on the red and white colors of Bayern shirts on the shoulders of most fans.
Shortly before 18:30 p.m. and on a remix of Coldplay, Manuel Neuer and Lina Magull, the two captains in traditional Bavarian dress, appeared on the balcony of the City Hall to present the two trophies awarded to the German champions.
This is Bayern's fourth women/men's double. On Saturday, after an incredible suspense in Cologne, Thomas Tuchel's men snatched from Borussia Dortmund an 11th consecutive German league title, thanks to a goal in the 89th minute of Jamal Musiala (2-1) and Dortmund's draw against Mainz (2-2).

"I'm a bit tired, but after the game and all season, to be able to celebrate the title is a great feeling. The fact that I had to fight to the end makes the title even more beautiful. I will remember this moment all my life, "slipped Musiala (20) Sunday at the microphone of the channel of Bayern, before being cheered on the balcony.
The entire men's team, already in traditional Bavarian dress, attended the demonstration of the women's team (11-1) against Potsdam on Sunday afternoon, to ensure a fifth title for the Munich.
