FC Bayern is marching through the new season like clockwork. Win after win, the Munich club is setting new standards – and now a historic milestone is just around the corner. With another success, the record champions could enter the history books of European football.
After the 4:0 home win against Club Brugge in the Champions League, their record remains unblemished: twelve competitive matches, twelve wins, 44:9 goals. The German champions are in impressive form – dominant, hungry for goals and defensively stable.
In Europe’s top five leagues, only one team has made a better start: AC Milan in 1992/93 with 13 wins in a row. FC Bayern now have twelve wins and could equal this historic mark with their next treble. For coach Vincent Kompany and his team, it would be further proof of their current dominance.
The recent victory against Bruges was symbolic of their current strength. The 17-year-old Karl set the course for victory with a remarkable goal in the early stages. Harry Kane and Luis Díaz then increased the lead to 3:0 before the break, before Nicolas Jackson scored the final goal. Particularly striking: the variable attacking play, which hardly gave the opponents any breathing space over 90 minutes.
First Leverkusen, then PSG: The next top games are already on the horizon
Everything is also going according to plan on the national stage. With seven wins from seven Bundesliga games, Munich lead the table with a commanding lead – five points ahead of RB Leipzig. In addition, they won the Super Cup against Stuttgart and progressed to the first round of the cup. The mixture of experience, creativity and youthful recklessness gives the team a rare balance.
The fixture list remains tight: an away game in Mönchengladbach awaits at the weekend, followed by the cup tie in Cologne. Gladbach are currently in a sporting crisis, so a Munich record seems more than feasible.
After that, the top-of-the-table clash against Bayer Leverkusen awaits, before the Champions League thriller in Paris just a few days later. Munich would like to continue their streak – and secure their place in the European record books once and for all.
