Best ever start to a season: Bayern surpass legendary record

FC Bayern continues to make history. With the 3-0 away victory at Borussia Mönchengladbach, the Munich team not only extended their winning streak but also surpassed a historic milestone on a European level.

The record champions remain in absolute top form. After the 2-1 victory in the Bundesliga classic against Borussia Dortmund and the 4-0 win midweek in the Champions League against Bruges, the Munich team followed up with a 3-0 victory in the challenging away game in Gladbach at Borussia-Park – setting a record that had stood for over three decades.

With their eighth consecutive Bundesliga win – and the 13th competitive win overall since the start of the season – FC Bayern has achieved the best season start ever in Europe's top 5 leagues. Previously, AC Milan held this record from the 1992/93 season with 13 consecutive wins. Now, the German record champions have surpassed the Italians – and with a better goal difference.

While Milan at the time achieved 45:13 goals (+32), the Munich team stands at an impressive 47:9 goals (+38) after the victory in Gladbach. This is evidence of the dominance and stability that coach Vincent Kompany's team currently exudes.

Particularly remarkable: FCB impresses not only offensively with their joy of playing but also shows defensive solidity.

The tactical structure that Vincent Kompany has implemented is bearing fruit. The Belgian has managed to shape FC Bayern into a team that perfectly combines control and effectiveness.

"We work from game to game, stay focused, and know that records are nice, but not everything," Kompany emphasized in the Sky interview before the game, as usual modest. Nevertheless, he is likely aware that his team is currently achieving something historic.

With 13 wins from 13 competitive matches, FC Bayern is currently not only the benchmark nationally but also the most in-form team internationally.

The victory in Gladbach was emblematic of the new Bayern mentality: patient, determined, and composed.
