How Bayern Munich redefined dominance with a record-shattering 2025–26 campaign
In short: The 2025–26 season marked a historic turning point for Bayern Munich. Navigating the departure of iconic figures like Thomas Müller, the club embarked on a relentless winning streak that rewrote European football records. By the time the final whistle blew, they had established a new standard for offensive efficiency in Germany.
The 2025–26 season represented the 127th year of Bayern Munich’s history and their 61st consecutive campaign in Germany’s top flight. It was a year of significant transition, as the squad moved forward without Thomas Müller, the most decorated German player in history, for the first time since 2007–08. Additionally, the team saw the exits of Kingsley Coman, who moved to Al-Nassr, and Leroy Sané, who signed with Galatasaray.
Despite these departures, the team achieved unprecedented success. On 29 October 2025, Bayern surpassed AC Milan’s 1992–93 record for the best start in Europe’s top five leagues by winning their first 13 matches. They eventually pushed this streak to 16 consecutive victories by early November. Their offensive output was equally historic; by 11 April 2026, they had scored 105 goals, eclipsing the club’s previous record of 101 set in 1971–72. By the season's conclusion, they reached a staggering 122 goals in 34 games, trailing only Torino’s 1947–48 record of 125.
The domestic dominance was confirmed on 19 April 2026, when Bayern secured their 35th Bundesliga title with a 4–2 victory over VfB Stuttgart on matchday 30. Beyond the pitch, the club continued to refine its internal structure, appointing Michael Wiesinger to oversee youth development and sporting operations at the FC Bayern Campus shortly after the title win. This season remains a testament to the club's ability to evolve while maintaining a relentless pursuit of excellence.
