Bundesliga 2024/25 Wrap-Up : The Highs, Lows & Standouts of a Dramatic Season
The Bundesliga wrapped up its 2024/25 season with a thunderous statement: Harry Kane finally lifted silverware, and Bayern Munich reclaimed their throne after last season's stumble. But this wasn't just about Bayern. From the rise of Frankfurt to the downfall of Holstein Kiel, Germany’s top flight delivered drama, goals, and a star-studded spectacle from start to finish.

Champions: Bayern Munich (82 pts) 🏆🏆

After surrendering the title last season, Bayern roared back with vengeance — storming to the top with 25 wins, 99 goals, and a league-best +67 goal difference. Harry Kane, in his second season, scored 26 league goals, assisted 8 more, and ended the “no trophy” narrative. 

But the real spark was Michael Olise, who bagged 12 goals and a league-high 15 assists, earning the MSport Bundesliga Player of the Season crown.

Relegated: Bochum, Holstein Kiel 📉💔

After 34 grueling matchdays, VfL Bochum and Holstein Kiel were relegated directly. Both teams suffered 21 defeats and conceded over 65 goals. Kiel's -31 goal difference proved decisive in a tight bottom-three race. Meanwhile, Heidenheim (16th) will contest the relegation playoff in hopes of surviving another season in the top flight.
