Bayern Munich clinched their 35th Bundesliga crown with a 4-2 victory over Stuttgart on Sunday, securing a second straight league triumph for manager Vincent Kompany. The win also locked in the league trophy with three games remaining securely. Fans and players alike celebrated the achievement amid a packed Allianz Arena.

The quirky cockatoo motif traces back to last season’s title drama. After Bayer Leverkusen’s draw with Freiburg handed Bayern the belt, the squad gathered in a Munich eatery, spotted a cockatoo statue and one player swiped it as a souvenir. A week later the bird appeared on the team’s celebratory T‑shirts, sparking curiosity. The bird quickly became a locker‑room joke.

During Sunday’s ceremony the statue was perched on the pitch, featuring in photos with midfielder Leon Goretzka and others. Kompany declined to name the thief, promising the tale would surface “some time.” The cockatoy emblem has now become a light‑hearted symbol of Bayern’s back‑to‑back dominance.

Supporters embraced the feathered mascot, sharing memes and chanting the bird’s name, turning a quirky souvenir into a season‑long rallying cry.
