FEATURE | Where does Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich rank among predecessors after record breaking season

The record places this Bayern side alongside some of the most prolific teams in Bundesliga history. The 1971/72 team, led by Uli Hoeneß and Gerd Müller, had long stood as the gold standard with 101 goals in 34 matches. More recently, Hansi Flick’s 2019/20 treble-winning side scored 100 league goals, combining relentless pressing with devastating efficiency in the final third.

Pep Guardiola’s Bayern also consistently approached that mark, scoring 94 goals in 2013/14 and 90 in 2015/16, while Jupp Heynckes’ 2012/13 treble winners registered 98. A new attacking benchmark Kompany’s Bayern have not only surpassed those figures but have done so at a faster rate. Reaching 102 goals in just 29 matches, they are averaging over 3.

5 goals per game, a level of output that exceeds even Flick’s record-breaking campaign, which averaged just under three goals per match. The current side has combined positional dominance with verticality, producing a constant stream of chances across multiple attacking outlets. Central to this has been the balance between structured build-up and direct attacking play.

Bayern have shown the ability to overwhelm opponents through sustained possession, while also exploiting transitions with speed and precision. This versatility has made them one of the most difficult teams to contain in recent Bundesliga history.
