There is a lingering question posed by the fans over the club that will win the German Bundesliga title in the 2024/25 season.
Bayer Leverkusen took home the crown last season following a stellar outing which saw them go the entirety of the campaign unbeaten.
The BayArena side amassed an impressive 90 points from 38 matches – winning 28 and drawing 6 games.
Their invincible status on the home front made them revered across Europe, given the fact that even the mighty Bayern Munich hadn’t achieved that feat.
They were eyeing going the entirety of the term without a defeat but Bergamo-based club Atalanta thwarted that dream.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side submerged Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the final of the UEFA Europa League, courtesy of a hat-trick from Nigeria international Ademola Lookman.
Bayer Leverkusen went 51 matches unbeaten across all competitions and their brilliance resulted in them clinching the Bundesliga title with 5 matches to spare.
Additionally, Leverkusen secured the DFB-POKAL in their last game of the 2023/24 season, defeating Kaiserslautern 1-0 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
Bayer Leverkusen
It is unknown if they can replicate these astonishing feats in the 2024/25 season and as such, the pertinent question of the club that will win the German Bundesliga title has been elicited.
Bayer Leverkusen have acquired the services of 3 players this summer; namely; Martin Terrier, Aleix García, and Jeanuël Belocian.
Fans of the German side are hoping that these additions can aid them in competing for top honors in the coming season.
Bayer Leverkusen have kept a handful of the players that made them thick in the 2023/24 season and it is believed that they are still pumped up for another title charge.
Victor Boniface, Jeremie Frimpong, Granit Xhaka, and Patrick Schick amongst others are still present with the side and manager Xabi Alonso appears ready for more success.
Bayern Munich
Let’s take a look at Bayern Munich! The Bavarian giants failed to claim the Bundesliga crown last season, ending their 11-year reign over the division.
That run is the longest spell of dominance by any football club across the top leagues in Europe.
It will be fascinating to see if Bayern Munich can reconvene again and strive to create or better that achievement.
There is doubt over them reclaiming the crown, but they remain heavy favorites to win the 2024/25 German Bundesliga title.
The club has witnessed a managerial change this summer, with Belgian tactician Vincent Kompany stirring the affairs of the side.
Kompany was appointed in May 2024 and he replaced Thomas Tuchel, who exited Bayern Munich at the end of the 2023/24 season.
The German giants have been busy this summer, acquiring several players that would help them regain their grip on the Bundesliga throne.
Michael Olise, João Palhinha, Hiroki Ito, Bryan Zaragoza, and Armindo Sieb have all joined the club this summer and more signings are expected to be made.
Bayern Munich ended the 2023/24 Bundesliga campaign “embarrassingly” in 3rd position, 18 points adrift of eventual champions Bayer Leverkusen.
It will be interesting to see if they can claim the prize under the stewardship of boss Vincent Kompany, as that will also result in the shattering of the “Harry Kane curse”.
Borussia Dortmund
The Black and Yellows are seen as outside favorites for the 2024/25 German Bundesliga title.
Borussia Dortmund have experienced the departure of club greats like Mats Hummels and Marco Reus this summer.
Additionally, German tactician Edin Terzic also resigned from his role as manager of the side, with club great Nuri Sahin appointed in his stead.
The Signal Iduna Park side managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League due to the extra slot handed to the Bundesliga due to the performances of German clubs in European competitions last season.
Borussia Dortmund had a wishy-washy league campaign despite their impressive outing in Europe which saw them reach the final of the UEFA Champions League, albeit losing to Real Madrid in the final.
Niclas Fullkrug has also left the team to join Premier League side West Ham United ahead of the 2024/25 season.
It is expected that the reinforcements made by the club this summer will help them compete favorably for the German Bundesliga title.
The Black and Yellows have had a busy summer signing stars like Waldemar Anton, Serhou Guirassy, and Pascal Groß.
Brazilian defender Yan Couto also joined Borussia Dortmund on loan from Manchester City this summer.
Who will win the German Bundesliga In the 2024-2025 Season?
Our Pick: Despite an underwhelming 2023/24 season, it is believed that Bayern Munich have regrouped and sorted out their issues in the previous campaign.
They aren’t overwhelming favorites to clinch the 2024/25 Bundesliga title, however, the quality added to the team this summer should help improve their course and ultimately sail them to the league crown.
Dark Horses
RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Monchengladbach, and VFB Stuttgart are considered amongst this group and it will be intriguing to see if they can shockingly claim the German top-flight league prize.
