Per Bleacher Report, Pep Guardiola led Bayern to the 2013/14 title in style, winning the title on matchday 27 and with seven games left in the season after a 3-1 victory over Hertha Berlin. Up till that moment, they were unbeaten in the season.

2. Bayern Munich - 2012/13

According to France24, Bayern's 2012/13 triumph under Jupp Heynckes set the record for the quickest title win with six games after their 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. The record was broken a year later by the same team.

3. Bayern Munich - 4 games

The Bavarians have won the title on matchday 30 with four games to spare four times (2014/15, 2002/03, 1998/99 and 1972/73). The victories in 2003 and 1999 were achieved under legendary manager Ottmar Hitzfield, almost winning the treble in ‘99 but lost the Champions League to Manchester United.

Udo Lattek led them to the 1973 victory as part of his three consecutive titles, while Guardiola had the honours in 2015, also as part of a three-straight victory.
