Bayern Munich didn’t set the standard, it is the standard
FC Bayern’s attack has been unreal this season.
HAMBURG, GERMANY - APRIL 11: Michael Olise of FC Bayern Munich celebrates scoring his team's third goal during the Bundesliga match between FC St. Pauli and FC Bayern München at Millerntor Stadium on April 11, 2026 in Hamburg, Germany.

” In the case of Bayern Munich…that might actually be true. During their 5-0 victory over St. Pauli in the Bundesliga, the Bavarians scored their record breaking 102nd goal in the league.
Funny enough, it was not Harry Kane, Michael Olise, or Luis Díaz — who have combined for 57 goals in the Bundesliga this season — who scored the record breaker, it was sometimes maligned midfielder Leon Goretzka: Leon Goretzka scored our 102nd league goal of the season, breaking a Bundesliga record that’s stood for 54 years 👏 pic. twitter. com/20SHhjxWVU — FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) April 11, 2026 The goal itself was actually really nice as Goretzka volleyed a flicked header from a St.
Pauli defender, but it was about more than just that. It was yet another example of the attacking domination that this unit has been able to show all season. Even in a game where Bayern Munich’s Big Three only combined for one goal (Kane did not play), there just always seems to be someone ready, willing, and able to step up.
