Eight milestones on the road to Bundesliga title
Eight milestones on the road to Bundesliga title Bayern ultimately led the way from start to finish in the Bundesliga in 2025/26. They got off to a flying start to cement their position at the summit, but there were still some lows to go with the highs along the way to being crowned champions of Germany for a 35th time. Let’s recap some of those key moments… Bayern had showed the week before the Bundesliga campaign began that they had recovered from their efforts at the Club World Cup by beating VfB Stuttgart 2-1 to lift the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.
They then backed that up in style by kicking off the 63rd season of Germany’s top flight by smashing RB Leipzig 6-0 in the opening fixture. Luis Díaz scored one, Michael Olise two and Harry Kane three as they announced themselves as a front three to be feared. “When the team gets on a roll, they really get on a roll,” Leon Goretzka said afterwards.
Coach Vincent Kompany was equally impressed by his team’s display and dropped a stark warning to the competition when he said: “The foundation was there. The guys worked as if they’ve not won anything. If we keep that up, we’ll win many games.
” And he wasn’t wrong… Bayern’s start to the season was arguably flawless. They won their opening 10 fixtures in all competitions as they went into the campaign’s first Klassiker at home to Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 7. More goals from Kane and Olise earned a 2-1 win over the long-time rivals and also saw Bayern equal BVB’s German record of 11 wins to start a season from 10 years prior.
“Credit to the team for winning the first 11 games, but I also want to win the next 11. And then 11 after that,” Kompany demanded afterwards. It wasn’t 11 but five more wins that Bayern got after that result against Dortmund as they set a new record across Europe’s major leagues.
