Bayern off to a flying start: Bundesliga record, respect across Europe | OneFootball

Just a few weeks ago, FC Bayern was under criticism. Numerous experts believed that after the Club World Cup and an extremely short preparation period, the Munich side would start the new season at a significant disadvantage. The club’s transfer policy and thin squad were also viewed skeptically. But instead of a period of weakness, the record champions have delivered a start the Bundesliga has never seen before. Even in Europe, Vincent Kompany and his team have nothing to fear from any opponent.

Four wins from the first four league games, plus a goal difference of 18:3 – that’s a new record in the 63-year history of the Bundesliga. While international giants like Real Madrid (5 wins, 10:2 goals), Liverpool (5, 11:5), or Paris Saint-Germain (5, 10:4) have also started flawlessly, none come close to matching the attacking power of Munich.

The commanding 3:1 victory over Club World Champion Chelsea at the start of the Champions League further underlined: Bayern are not only hot contenders for titles nationally, but also internationally.

Despite high-profile absences like Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, the record champions remain stable. In defense, the team compensates for gaps with flexibility. Additionally, players from the second string are increasingly pushing through. Minjae Kim has recently made a strong impression, and Sacha Boey has also gained new trust under Kompany.

In attack, alongside Harry Kane and Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry and new signing Luis Díaz are also shining. Promising talent Lennart Karl, at just 17 years old, celebrated a strong starting debut complete with an assist. Deadline-day signing Nicolas Jackson still needs a bit more time.

Above all, Harry Kane embodies the pure definition of world-class. The 32-year-old has scored 13 goals and provided three assists in the first seven competitive matches of the season. With eight goals and three assists in just four league games, he is the face of Bayern’s dream start – and the reason why doubts about the squad have long since turned into euphoria.

FC Bayern has turned skepticism into self-confidence. Records in the Bundesliga, respect in Europe – this start to the season is a real statement.
