Bayern Munich remain the team to beat in the German top flight with the juggernaut of Julian Nagelsmann winning the competition 31 times.
Boasting some of the best players in the world such as Sadio Mane, Thomas Muller and Manuel Neuer, they are still favorites to retain their league crown.
Rivals Borussia Dortmund traditionally push them closest and have won the title five times, most recently in 2012 under Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Borussia Mönchengladbach were a force in the 70s, winning the league five times, but have not had a champion team since, while Werder Bremen, Hamburg and Stuttgart are also multiple winners.
