Thomas Müller led Bayern Munich's Bundesliga title celebrations after helping the team beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 in his last home game for the club

Xabi Alonso's team set the pace from the start and steadily gained control of the game. Granit Xhaka played a key role in orchestrating Leverkusen's attacks, and his sharp vision led to the opening goal in the 26th minute. Noticing a gap in Frankfurt's defense, he threaded a precise pass to Nathan Tella, who calmly slotted the ball past goalkeeper Kevin Trapp into the bottom left corner.

Leverkusen seized control from the start, maintaining possession and applying early pressure through set pieces. In the fourth minute, Jonathan Tah sent a volley over the bar, while goalkeeper Tim Weiner had to react quickly to tip a deflected header over the crossbar. Just moments later, Shuto Machino cleared Patrick Schick’s header off the line in the sixth minute.

The Werkself wasted no time breaking the deadlock, capitalizing on Dortmund's failure to clear the ball from the area. Robert Andrich set up Nathan Tella, who struck a powerful shot into the top left corner from the edge of the box, Xinhua reported.

Bayern Munich began the match with strong momentum, creating several opportunities, but both Michael Olise and Serge Gnabry failed to find the net against Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos. Their persistence paid off in the 15th minute when Kim Min-jae tapped in a square pass from Thomas Muller, breaking the deadlock following a corner.

A few months into the 2024/25 season, things have improved for the Bavarians. Heading into Saturday evening's match at the Munich arena, the momentum now favors the once-struggling 2020 treble winners.
