Munich in a state of elation! At the end of the final home game of German Bundesliga team FC Bayern Munich, the club at last held the long-awaited championship trophy in its hands. Fans and players celebrated the club's 23rd championship victory exuberantly at Munich's Allianz Arena, with 10 thousand litres of wheat beer donated by long-standing premium sponsor Paulaner.
