In contrast to Hasan Salihamidzic, Kahn had probably already learned of his dismissal before the game and was not rooting for the team in the stadium. A few minutes later, Kahn updated his Twitter message and deleted the part that he was prohibited from doing so "by the club".

"Unbelievable! A big compliment and congratulations guys! I've always told you! Always give everything until the end and never give up. I'm incredibly proud of you and this achievement!" said Kahn happily. The last-minute championship was entirely to Kahn's liking: Bayern had only scored the winning goal in the 89th minute through Jamal Musiala to make it 2-1 in a championship thriller, while BVB had blundered against Mainz.
