There are a lot of ways to look at this season depending on what matters most.
On one hand, Bayern Munich reclaimed the Bundesliga title, won the DFB-Pokal, and reestablished itself as a legitimate threat to win a treble. Winning the league is always the expectation in Munich, but doing it with authority still deserves recognition. Vincent Kompany’s second season also brought fresh energy, a more aggressive style of play, and stretches where Bayern Munich was one of the best teams in the world.
Individually,
there were plenty of positives. Harry Kane continued to deliver goals at an elite level, Michael Olise emerged as one of the most exciting attacking players in the squad, and players like Joshua Kimmich and Dayot Upamecano turned in strong seasons.
At the same time, it is hard to call the season perfect. Bayern Munich’s Champions League exit will still leave many fans wondering what could have been, especially considering the talent on the roster. Injuries once again became a major storyline, defensive inconsistency showed up in key moments, and there were stretches where the squad still looked incomplete despite all of its quality.
That is what makes this debate interesting. Some supporters may see this season as a major success because Bayern got back on top domestically and laid the foundation for the future under Kompany. Others may feel anything short of a Champions League final appearance keeps the season from reaching elite status.
So now that everything is finished, what grade would you give Bayern Munich’s season from 1-10 — and what is the biggest reason behind your rating?
