The Title Race
Bayern were dominant from the outset and the title race was essentially over by Christmas. Their attacking output — 122 goals — is one of the highest in Bundesliga history. Harry Kane was the focal point of a devastating attack that destroyed defences week after week.
Borussia Dortmund (73 pts) were Bayern's closest challengers but finished a distant second. RB Leipzig (65 pts) and VfB Stuttgart (62 pts) secured Champions League spots. Hoffenheim (61 pts) had an outstanding season in fifth, edging out defending champions Bayer Leverkusen (59 pts) for the Europa League spot.
European Qualification
Bayern München, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart earned Champions League spots. 1899 Hoffenheim (61 pts) — in one of the season's biggest overachievements — claimed the Europa League berth. Bayer Leverkusen (59 pts), the defending champions, had to settle for the Conference League.
Relegation & Playoff
FC St. Pauli (26 pts) and 1. FC Heidenheim (26 pts) were relegated. Wolfsburg (30 pts) entered the relegation playoff. Both St. Pauli and Heidenheim — promoted teams — found the Bundesliga step up too steep to handle across the full campaign.
The Story of the Season: 122 Goals
Bayern's 122 goals is a truly staggering number. To put it in context, that is more than 3.5 goals per game — an average that would win most European leagues handily. Their ability to score from all positions and set-pieces made them virtually unstoppable at times.
Hoffenheim's remarkable 5th-place finish was the feel-good story of the season — finishing above Leverkusen, who had won the title just two seasons earlier, was an achievement few predicted.
Looking Ahead
Bayern will be favourites to retain their title next season. St. Pauli and Heidenheim face the 2. Bundesliga, while Wolfsburg's playoff outcome will determine whether they stay up or follow them down.
