Bayern unbeaten under Kompany, outshining Slot and Enrique | OneFootball

Under Vincent Kompany, FC Bayern appears more solid than it has in a long time. In the top European leagues, the record champions are currently leaving almost everyone else behind.

With only five defeats in 2025, Munich is doing better than Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, or Liverpool. In Europe’s top five leagues, only FC Barcelona under former Bayern coach Hansi Flick can keep up. The Catalans have also suffered just five defeats this year.

Kompany’s record is setting new standards—and shows just how much his work is paying off in his second season. After the 3-0 win in Frankfurt, captain Manuel Neuer had clear words: “That was a commanding away victory. Today we played very well both with and without the ball—pressing, defending in the penalty area, and ball control.” The 39-year-old also emphasized the improved coordination within the team: “You can feel that the automatisms are getting better and every player knows his role.”

Eight consecutive Bundesliga wins, 25 goals in the first six matches—plus a flawless away streak with twelve unbeaten games: Bayern impresses not only with efficiency but also with consistency. The playing system is working, the balance is right—exactly what the team had been missing for a long time.

Nevertheless, Neuer urges caution: “Of course, there are always things we can do even better. It’s always about looking ahead and preparing for the next game.”

What was still in development during his first season now has clearly recognizable features. Kompany has given Bayern’s game structure and clarity. The numbers speak for themselves, and the competition is watching closely. Internally, the Belgian also enjoys great trust—not least because his team is not only picking up points, but also appears more mature in many areas of the game than a year ago.

Looking ahead to the upcoming challenges, one thing is clear: FC Bayern has built a foundation to build on. And at the moment, there is little to suggest that this will be shaken any time soon.
