Under Pep Guardiola, Bayern Munich continued their domestic dominance, winning the Bundesliga title with several games to spare, their 25th in history. The squad featured world-class players like Manuel Neuer, Arjen Robben, Franck Ribéry, Thomas Müller, Philipp Lahm, and Robert Lewandowski, who joined from Dortmund and quickly became a key figure. Bayern’s possession-heavy, tactically fluid style often overwhelmed Bundesliga opponents. However, their season was blemished by exits in both cup competitions: a DFB-Pokal semi-final defeat to Dortmund and a Champions League semi-final loss to Barcelona. Despite frustrations in Europe, Bayern cemented their status as Germany’s undisputed powerhouse.
