Good omen for Bayern? Kompany matches treble-winning coach Heynckes | OneFootball

FC Bayern continues on the path of success: With a commanding 5:1 away win at Pafos FC, the Munich team takes the lead in the Champions League table. Harry Kane shines again - and coach Vincent Kompany equals a record.

The record could hardly be more impressive: Nine games, nine victories - the last time Bayern had such a start to the season was in 2012/13 under Jupp Heynckes, when the Munich team won the historic triple. With the success in Cyprus, Kompany now equals the club legend.

As in the previous weeks, Harry Kane was the decisive man in the offense. The English striker scored twice, with Raphaël Guerreiro, newcomer Nicolas Jackson, and Michael Olise also on the scoresheet. The interim goal by Mislav Orcic to make it 1:4 was just a minor blemish.

Bayern faces tough tasks in October

After the opening success against FC Chelsea (3:1), the German record champion has also mastered the second task with confidence. With six points from two games, FCB is currently in first place, level on points with Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

Despite the dream start in the Champions League, the toughest matches are still to come. On November 4, the defending champion Paris Saint-Germain awaits, followed by the duel with FC Arsenal on November 26. First, FCB will host FC Brügge at the Allianz Arena on October 22.

Sammer: "Bayern is currently the best team in Europe"

Prime expert Matthias Sammer was impressed even before the kickoff: "Bayern is currently the best team in Europe." With the current form, there is much to suggest that the Munich team can play at the top again this year.

Kompany himself does not want to get involved in these discussions. When asked about a possible triumph in the Champions League after the Pafos game, Kompany said: "I clearly stated before the first game that it is our dream to be there and have a chance to win. Winning the Champions League is very hard. But now we are in the middle of the competition and need to focus on simply winning the next game."
