💪 Millerntor makes history as Bayern set Bundesliga record Are we all witnessing the best FC Bayern Munich of all time right now — and with it also the best Bundesliga team ever? It’s not just the win against Real in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final that suggests so, because the Munich side has just (once again) written itself into the Bundesliga history books. In the match against FC St.

Pauli at the Millerntor, Bayern broke the Bundesliga’s all-time goals record. Thanks to goals from Jamal Musiala (9') and Leon Goretzka (53'), Vincent Kompany’s team briefly stood at an incredible 102 (! ) goals scored, and just around 70 seconds later Michael Olise made it 3-0 for the visitors, taking their total goal tally for the season to 103.

No team had ever scored that many goals in a single season before — not even the record champions from Munich themselves. Because of course, with this record, FCB has overtaken its own mark. Fifty-three years ago — in the 1971/72 season — it was coach Udo Lattek’s side, led by Kaiser Franz Beckenbauer, that scored exactly 101 goals.

Back in the 70s, the milestone goal came on the very last matchday. Things look different now, because FC Bayern not only still had the remaining minutes against the Hamburg side to extend the record even further. They actually still have five more full matches to do so.
