The 2024-25 Bundesliga season wrapped up in style as Bayern Munich delivered a commanding 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim on the road, capping off their 25th win of the campaign and reinforcing their domestic dominance.
Michael Olise opened the scoring with a stunning 25-yard free kick in the 33rd minute, setting the tone for a confident Bayern side. Joshua Kimmich doubled the lead just after halftime, finishing a slick team move that showcased the champions' fluid attacking play.
In the 80th minute, Serge Gnabry found the bottom corner to make it 3-0 before Harry Kane sealed the result four minutes from time, wrapping up his first title-winning season in Germany with style.
The match also marked a milestone farewell for 35-year-old Thomas Müller, who made his 503rd and final Bundesliga appearance for Bayern before his summer departure. "I appreciate it a lot. It seems people loved what I've done over the last 15-16 years in the Bundesliga," Müller reflected. "It's a great feeling. The support from our fans was incredible. For me, it was a very special day, but not a sad one. I'm just happy with what I achieved, and I love the Bundesliga."
Bayern Munich finished 13 points clear of runners-up Bayern Leverkusen, with Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund rounding out the top four to secure spots in next season's UEFA Champions League. Freiburg will compete in the Europa League, while Mainz heads to the Conference League.
At the other end of the table, Bochum and Holstein Kiel were relegated, and Heidenheim faces a play-off to retain its spot in the top flight.
Whether you're tracking the action from halfway around the world or soaking up the stadium atmosphere in person, Bayern's final flourish this season is one to remember.
