It was a good season for Bayern Munich…
Ah, the end of the Bundesliga season is here and now it is time to look back at how things shook out statistically in the league.
Bayern Munich dominated many categories, but it is always worth a look to see which individual players excelled in specific areas. Let’s check out the breakdown as provided by @Squawka:
Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane led the league in shots on target (and goals, too):
Harry Kane was the only player to have 50+ shots on target in the Bundesliga this term.

Olise was dominant in big chances created as well:
No player has created more big chances in a Bundesliga campaign across the last eight seasons than Michael Olise in 2024/25 (32).
He’s only the second player to create 30+ big chances in a season in that time after Thomas Müller in 19/20 (31). pic.twitter.com/2oY1WQBud9

Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitiké were the “post masters” of the Bundesliga (not shockingly, Bayern Munich’s Serge Gnabry was close behind):

Naturally, Bayern Munich did not face as many shots as other club’s goalkeepers, so Heidenheim’s Kevin Müller, who spent the season under duress, was the league leader there:
