Historic milestone within reach: Bayern chase eternal goal record | OneFootball

FC Bayern are on the brink of a historic milestone in the Bundesliga. After the 2-1 win against Real Madrid, the focus is now briefly back on everyday league life – but even there it’s about more than just three points. In the away game against FC St. Pauli on Saturday evening, the record champions could break a record that has stood for decades

With 100 goals already scored this season, Munich have an impressive attacking record. A mark that is rarely reached – and which also forms the basis for the next big step. The Bundesliga record for the most goals in a season is 101, which was set by FC Bayern themselves in the legendary 1971/72 season

Bayern aim to break historic record

The starting position is clear: one more goal is enough to break the record – two goals would break it. And that is precisely the declared aim of Vincent Kompany’s team, who want to secure the record as early as possible

A look at recent encounters with their upcoming opponents shows that the chances of achieving this are good. Bayern have won ten of their last eleven Bundesliga games against St. Pauli and are generally in impressive form. Particularly noteworthy: the last goalless league game was more than a year ago

Even a possible rotation is unlikely to slow down Munich’s attacking drive. In view of the upcoming second leg against Real Madrid, Kompany could give some players a rest. But second-tier players such as Lennart Karl, Nicolas Jackson and Tom Bischof are also ready and willing to take their chance

Second record within reach

In addition to the historic goalscoring record, there is another extraordinary statistic to look forward to. FC Bayern have scored at least two goals in 26 of 28 Bundesliga matches, and three or more goals in 22 games. This means that the Munich side have already set a Bundesliga record – also from their own club’s history

These figures impressively underline the offensive power of the team. The mixture of individual quality and team unity currently makes Bayern one of the most dangerous attacking teams in Europe

Despite their comfortable nine-point lead at the top of the table, motivation remains high and the game at Millerntor offers the chance not only to take another step towards the championship, but also to make history

For FC Bayern, the route is clear: break the record, boost confidence – and go into the decisive clash against Real Madrid with a tailwind.
