FC Bayern Women’s milestones on the road to the title

com looks back on some of the key milestones on the road to being crowed champions of Germany once again. Record crowd to kick off The opening game of the season saw Bayern lay down multiple markers for what they wanted to be a big campaign. A 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen was the perfect Bundesliga debut for new coach José Barcala and was achieved in front of a record crowd in German women’s football of 57,762 at the Allianz Arena .

Summer signing Vanessa Gilles and Klara Bühl ’s quickfire double ensured the perfect start to Bayern’s title defence and got the crowd going at the Allianz Arena. “Everyone dreams of playing in front of a crowd like this,” Gilles said after the game. But that was just the beginning of the dream.

To the summit in Wolfsburg Matchday 6 brought Bayern’s first major test of the season with a trip to Wolfsburg, and the team needed a big performance just a few days on from their heavy Champions League defeat in Barcelona . They did just that and in impressive style with a 3-1 win . Bühl put the Munich Frauen deservedly ahead before Momoko Tanikawa ’s lovely finish doubled the advantage.

Alara ’s added-time goal rounded things off as Bayern went top of the Bundesliga table and wouldn’t give up that position. Free-scoring form Bayern continued their excellent scoring form in the following weeks, netting at least four goals in consecutive victories over Köln , Essen , Nürnberg , Union Berlin , Hoffenheim , Eintracht Frankfurt and Hamburg between Matchday 7 and 13. Eintracht torn apart Arguably the best result from that streak was the dominant 5-0 win away in Frankfurt, which took Barcala’s team to 11 consecutive victories across all competitions.
