Immediately after lifting his first career victory trophy, he also secured a second trophy. Jonas Urbig (22, Bayern Munich) achieved a remarkable record of being a 'double champion' in league standards in one season.

German media 'Sport1' reported on the 19th (Korean time) that "Bayern's Urbig has achieved a rare feat. He is celebrating with his former team, Cologne. Now he can call himself the third player in German football history to win two league titles in one season."

The media noted, "Bayern goalkeeper Urbig has secured two championship titles. He has become the third player in history to hold both the first and second league championship trophies in one season as his former team, Cologne, won the 2. Bundesliga title."

Upon confirming Cologne's victory, Urbig shared a video on social media of his former teammates celebrating the victory, writing, "I send my congratulations to Cologne."

Although Cologne could not win on their own, they created a drama in the final round. At the same time, Hamburg slipped by losing 2-3 to Greuther Fürth, causing a shift in rankings. Cologne defeated Kaiserslautern 4-0, recording 61 points and successfully overtook Hamburg (59 points) to reach the top.

As a result, Urbig lifted the Meisterschale (Bundesliga championship trophy) with Bayern and secured the 2. Bundesliga title. Joining Bayern in January of last year, he played 10 matches in the first half while wearing the Cologne uniform, allowing him to receive a championship medal.

He has achieved a league title twice in one year, something that many players never do even once before retiring. Urbig, who grew up in the Cologne youth team, previously said, "I still maintain a good relationship with the Cologne players. It would be truly wonderful if Cologne wins the 2. Bundesliga title," and his dream has been fulfilled.

This historic record for Urbig is the third of its kind. Pasi Lautiainen and Frank Hartmann had previously achieved the same feat. Unsurprisingly, both were also part of Bayern.

Finnish midfielder Lautiainen played one match in the Bundesliga for Bayern during the 1980-1981 season before transferring to Werder Bremen in the winter transfer market. Subsequently, both Bayern and Bremen claimed the league champion title. West German forward Hartmann also played one match in the Bundesliga for Bayern during the 1986-1987 season before returning to his former team Hannover 96 to help clinch the 2. Bundesliga title.

Meanwhile, Urbig is regarded as a promising talent from Germany's underage national teams. He gained experience through loans to Jahn Regensburg and Greuther Fürth in the 2. Bundesliga and competed for the starting position in the first half of this season with Cologne.

Bayern, who had been eyeing Urbig's potential, acquired him during the winter transfer market. The contract is for four and a half years, with plans to develop him as a successor to captain Manuel Neuer, born in 1986.

Urbig received an opportunity faster than expected. Neuer unexpectedly vacated his position due to injury in the second half, which allowed Urbig to guard Bayern's goal. He contributed to the team's success by participating in 8 league matches and 12 official matches while wearing the Bayern uniform.
