Bayern Juara Bundesliga 2025/2026, Burung Kakatua Jadi Ikon

On 19 April 2026, Bayern Munich secured the Bundesliga crown in the 2025/2026 season after a 4-2 victory over VfB Stuttgart at Allianz Arena. The win gave the club 79 poin from 30 pertandingan, 15 poin ahead of Borussia Dortmund, who can no longer close the gap with only four matches left (4 laga tersisa).

Players celebrated by donning shirts that featured a burung kakatua on a white base, while a porcelain statue of the same bird was carried onto the pitch by midfielder Leon Goretzka. The statue, placed at the center of a group photo, added a playful touch to the ceremony.

Harry Kane, part of the squad, swapped his usual kit for a white jersey emblazoned with the bird, echoing the club’s quirky tradition. The image of the parrot, now a recurring motif, symbolizes the team’s recent successes.

The origin of the statue dates back to the 2024/2025 season, when Die Roten watched a decisive match between Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen at a Munich restaurant. A Bayern official—name withheld—brought the bird from that venue to the club’s headquarters as a lucky charm, and it has since appeared in every championship celebration.

Leon Goretzka confirmed that the bird will accompany the team whenever they lift a title. “Burung itu sudah mendominasi perayaan tahun lalu. Ia harus menunggu lama sebelum kami membiarkannya keluar dari sangkarnya lagi,” Goretzka mengungkapkan, dilansir dari laman resmi Bayern Munich.

Beyond the Bundesliga, Bayern remains in contention for the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League. The parrot is expected to feature in future triumphs, including the German Super Cup, reinforcing its status as a symbol of good fortune.

The bird’s presence links past and present victories, turning a simple souvenir into a quirky emblem of the club’s winning spirit.
