2006 Bayern Munich Training – M

The 2005–06 season marked a double-winning campaign for Bayern Munich under manager Felix Magath. Bayern secured both the Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal, showcasing dominance in German football. It was the final season at the historic Olympiastadion, as Bayern prepared to move fully into the Allianz Arena, which had opened in 2005. The squad combined experienced leaders with emerging stars, though their European form remained underwhelming.
