With Matchday 31 of the 2024/25 Bundesliga season in the books, Bulinews.com Editor-in-Chief Rune Gjerulff has picked his Team of the Week, this time lining up in a 4-1-3-2 formation:
Goalkeeper
Frederik Rønnow, Union Berlin
Made a stunning reflex save in injury time to help Union Berlin secure a point against Bochum. The Danish goalkeeper saved a penalty earlier in the match, but unfortunately for him, the rebound fell right to Matus Bero, who scored.
Defenders
Konrad Laimer, Bayern Munich
Put in a strong performance for Bayern, completing 97% of his passes, winning six duels, and providing an assist.

Had a commanding presence in midfield for Bochum, completing 83% of his passes and winning eight out of 10 ground duels. He also scored his side’s only goal, tapping in the rebound after missing a penalty.

Was uncontainable for Mainz’s defense, scoring and assisting in Bayern’s 3-0 win.
