Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, known for his remarkable streak of winning a league title in every season of his professional football career, saw his legendary record come to an end as Bayer Leverkusen clinched the Bundesliga title. The 27-year-old French forward had maintained this extraordinary feat for 11 years, spanning across three clubs.
Coman’s journey began with Paris Saint-Germain in 2013, where he secured the Ligue 1 title in his debut season. He then moved to Juventus, claiming the Serie A title in the 2014/15 campaign. Upon joining Bayern Munich on loan, Coman went on to dominate the Bundesliga, winning the title for eight consecutive years.
Xabi Alonso’s impressive Bayer Leverkusen side shattered Coman’s record, becoming the first team in over a decade to dethrone Bayern Munich and seize the Bundesliga crown with five matches remaining in the season.
What made Coman’s achievement even more remarkable was the technicality of his 12 league titles in 11 years. This was due to his loan spell at Bayern Munich during the 2015/16 season, where he played a single match for Juventus before the move, allowing him to be recognized as a double-league winner for that season.
However, the disappointment for Coman might not end with the loss of his streak, as Bayern faces the possibility of a trophyless season if they fail to win the Champions League. Their upcoming quarter-final clash against Arsenal holds significant importance as they strive to keep their European dreams alive.
