Bayern may be champions of Germany for the 34th time, but 2024/25’s triumph is a first for 12 members of the current squad. Harry Kane, Eric Dier, Michael Olise, Konrad Laimer, João Palhinha, Minjae Kim, Hiroki Ito, Sacha Boey, Raphaël Guerreiro, Aleksandar Pavlović, Daniel Peretz and Jonas Urbig can now all call themselves Bundesliga winners!
Ducks broken for Kane and Dier
The English duo of Kane and Dier spent many years playing in their domestic Premier League, but the first major honour of their careers has now come in Germany with Bayern. It’s also a first league title for Olise, who helped the cause with 13 assists, as well as Ito, Guerreiro and youngsters Urbig, Pavlović and Peretz. Guerreiro, though, is a previous two-time DFB Cup winner with Borussia Dortmund (2017 and 2021), as well as winning UEFA Euro 2016 and the 2019 UEFA Nations League with Portugal.
The likes of Laimer, Palhinha, Boey and Kim already know what it means to be a domestic champion. Laimer won the Austrian Bundesliga three times with Red Bull Salzburg (2015-17); Palhinha the Portuguese title with Sporting Lisbon (2021); Boey is a two-time champion of Turkey with Galatasaray (2023 and 2024); and Kim claimed Italy’s Scudetto with Napoli (2023).
