Bayern Munich ended the 2025 calendar year in style with a commanding 4-0 victory over Heidenheim in the final Bundesliga fixture before the winter break. The win, led by first-half goals from Josip Stanisic and Michael Olise, allows Bayern to finish 2025 at the top of the table, nine points clear of Borussia Dortmund, further solidifying their domestic dominance.

Stanisic and Olise Fire Bayern Ahead

Bayern started the match with intensity, and it didn’t take long for Josip Stanisic to open the scoring. The German defender rose to meet a cross, heading home from close range to give his side an early advantage. Moments later, Michael Olise doubled the lead with a clinical strike inside the box, leaving Heidenheim stunned and putting Bayern firmly in control before halftime.

Kane and Diaz Seal the Victory

Despite the absence of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, sidelined with a hamstring injury, Bayern continued to dominate. England striker Harry Kane, captaining the side, remained a constant threat. In the 86th minute, Luis Diaz headed in a cross from Stanisic to make it 3-0. Kane then rounded off the scoring in stoppage time, slotting the ball into the bottom corner to complete the emphatic win.

This victory ensures Bayern have remained top of the Bundesliga for an entire calendar year, a remarkable first in the league’s history. Their nine-point lead at the top is now the second-biggest margin ever at this stage of a season, highlighting their dominance over domestic rivals.

Bayern’s Bundesliga Supremacy

Bayern Munich’s 2025 season has been characterized by consistent attacking football and defensive solidity. Under Vincent Kompany, the team has combined youth and experience effectively, with Stanisic, Olise, Diaz, and Kane all contributing to the club’s impressive goal tally.

Looking ahead, the Bundesliga resumes after the winter break on Friday, January 9, when Eintracht Frankfurt host Borussia Dortmund at 19:30 GMT. Bayern, meanwhile, will prepare to maintain their lead and continue their push for another Bundesliga title in 2026.
