As Bayern is the country's most successful club, it is the inevitable subject of intensive attention by the German media, and an object of envy and outright resentment by supporters of other clubs. Its off-field dramas in particular have led German media to dub the club FC Hollywood, a nickname that has occasionally been used by football media in the English-speaking world.

Bayern Munich won its 19th Bundesliga title in the 2004/05 season, retaining its reputation as the very best and most successful team in Germany. The club celebrated its latest title by moving to their new impressive 66,000 seater stadium, and hopes it can deliver another title at their first year in the Allianz Arena, as well as to achieve even more success in the Champions League.
