Bayern is about to break all-time Bundesliga goals record. Here's where it ranks in soccer history
Two more goals to break a Bundesliga record which has stood for 54 years. This is a chance for Vincent Kompany's team to go down in history. Lennart Karl's last-gasp winner for Bayern in a 3-2 comeback win over Freiburg last week was Bayern's 100th Bundesliga goal of the season.
One more goal to tie. Two more goals to break a Bundesliga record which has stood for 54 years. Bayern Munich's game against St.
Pauli on Saturday isn't just about taking care of business in between two high-pressure Champions League quarterfinal games against Real Madrid. This is a chance for Vincent Kompany's team to go down in history. Lennart Karl's last-gasp winner for Bayern in a 3-2 comeback win over Freiburg last week was Bayern's 100th Bundesliga goal of the season.
With six games to go, Kompany's team is one shy of the league record of 101 goals that Bayern scored in 1971-72. That was an era when greats like Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller propelled Bayern to a famous 11-1 demolition of Borussia Dortmund. Averaging 3.
57 goals per game puts Bayern ahead of the pace of some all-time great teams, like the Manchester City squad featuring Sergio Agüero which set a Premier League record of 106 goals in 2017-18, or Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid team which scored 121 in La Liga in 2011-12. Chasing down either of those targets would be all the more impressive because Bayern has four fewer games to do it in, thanks to the Bundesliga's 34-game schedule. The all-time record in Europe's top five leagues is 125 goals for Torino in Serie A back in 1947-48 in a 40-game season.
