FC Bayern are dominating the Bundesliga with a dominance that eclipses even the most successful periods in the club’s recent history. Vincent Kompany’s team have achieved results that even Pep Guardiola could not match in his record-breaking 2013/14 season
After 13 match days, Munich have 37 points – two more than Guardiola’s team at the same point in the season. In the legendary 2013/14 season, FC Bayern became champions on match day 27, with 77 points and an unassailable 25-point lead over Borussia Dortmund. It is still the earliest German championship in Bundesliga history
The current comparison is surprisingly clear: while Guardiola’s Bayern were four points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen after 13 rounds, Kompany’s team currently have an eight-point lead over their closest rivals RB Leipzig. This constellation gives us a glimpse of historical dimensions. The record is not only within reach – FC Bayern are moving towards it at high speed
Easy remaining program before the winter break – title course hard to stop
The first half of the season is clearly in Munich’s favour, with four opponents from the bottom half of the table – Mainz (18th), Heidenheim (16th), Wolfsburg (15th) and Cologne (8th) – and the record champions are firm favourites in three of the games. The form curve and squad density suggest that Bayern can improve on their perfect starting position going into the winter break
As a result, there are increasing signs that the Bundesliga could see a preliminary decision as early as January. The second half of the season kicks off on 17 January 2026 at RB Leipzig, who are currently the only serious rivals. If Bayern win there, the championship would be little more than a game of calculation – and the question would be whether Kompany can break Guardiola’s historic mark
Munich’s superiority is based on several pillars: a homogeneous, stable squad, an impressive balance between defence and offence and a clear, modern approach to the game from the coach. Kompany has not only stabilized the team, but also developed it further – with clear mechanisms, a high level of intensity and impressive tactical variability
The once-discussed title fight is threatening to turn into an exhibition match. FC Bayern are on course for the next championship – and everything indicates that it could come sooner than ever before. If Kompany’s team continues to march like this, the Bundesliga is waiting for a new historic record: the Turbo Championship.
