Bayern Munich goalkeeper Jonas Urbig is eyeing a rare feat after helping Vincent Kompany’s team win the Bundesliga title.

Bayern’s Bundesliga triumph was confirmed on Sunday as Bayer Leverkusen could only draw with Freiburg.

That meant Bayern, who drew 3-3 with RB Leipzig on Saturday, have an unassailable eight-point lead with just two games remaining.

Yet Urbig, who has been filling in for injured veteran Manuel Neuer, could yet win another league title.

Bayern signed the 21-year-old from Koln in January, and with Urbig having made 10 league appearances for his old team this season, he would be able to collect a winners’ medal should his former club go on and win the 2. Bundesliga title.

Koln trail leaders Hamburg by one point with two matches left to play.

“I am in very good with the lads and I would be extremely happy if Cologne win the second division title,” Urbig said.

Only two players have previously won the top two divisions in in the same season.

They were Pasi Rautiainen with Bayern and Werder Bremen in the 1980-81 season and Frank Hartmann, with Bayern and Hannover, in the 1986-87 campaign.
