The new 2024–25 season of the German football league, Bundesliga has started already on August 24, with defending champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen beating Borussia Mönchengladbach by 3-2.
Notably, record champions FC Bayern Munich are in an adrift situation, as they are beginning the season as rivals rather than reigning champions. Bayer Leverkusen ended Bayern’s 11-title-winning run. Xabi Alonso’s club was undefeated throughout the league season, winning the title by a considerable margin. Bayern finished third after losing to Hoffenheim on the last matchday of last season.
Runner-up VfB Stuttgart also finished ahead of Bayern with 73 points, its highest tally ever. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig came fourth, owing in part to Dutch forward Xavi Simons, who will stay another year after rejecting Bayern’s interest, while Borussia Dortmund (BVB) have rebooted after finishing fifth in the Bundesliga. Edin Terzic’s club reached the Champions League final, demonstrating its ability to play at the greatest levels. His replacement, Nuri Sahin, is charged with boosting Dortmund’s domestic performance.
St. Pauli have come back to the top-tier league after a 13-year hiatus. Coach Fabian Hürzeler has subsequently left for Brighton & Hove Albion (BHA) and has been replaced by Alexander Blessin, who previously worked for Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise.
Holstein Kiel, the runner-up in the second tier, will make its Bundesliga debut. It is the 58th team to join the competition since its inception in 1963, and the first from the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein.
The Bundesliga had one of its best seasons ever last year, and supporters will undoubtedly want to see another one like it. The German league was able to establish beneficial partnerships with well-known businesses by utilising the attention that was generated off the pitch.
