Bayern Munich thrashed Heidenheim 4-0 in the final Bundesliga match of 2025.
Two first-half goals from Josip Stanisic and Michael Olise helped Bayern on their way to a win that sees them end the year nine points above second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
Stanisic headed home from close range, with Olise also striking inside the box.
Luis Diaz increased Bayern's lead in the 86th minute, heading in Stanisic's cross, before Harry Kane rounded off the victory by slotting into the bottom corner in second-half stoppage time.
England striker Kane captained the side in the absence of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer who was out with a hamstring injury.
Vincent Kompany's side have now been on top of the Bundesliga standings for an entire calendar year - a top-flight first.
Bayern's nine-point lead at the top is the second-biggest margin ever at this stage of a season.
The league will resume after the winter break on Friday, January 9 when Eintracht Frankfurt host Dortmund (19:30 GMT).
