The 2013 team award was in recognition of Bayern completing the Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup treble last season. The ceremony came the day after the unbeaten champions wrapped up the quickest Bundesliga title in 51 years of the league. The ceremony was attended by Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak amid anger over his government’s handling of the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.
