Bayern Munich breaks records in the German League

If Kane is the protagonist, Bayern also have an impressive supporting cast.

Seven different players scored in the 8-1 win over Wolfsburg last weekend, meaning Bayern have scored 15 goals this season – the most of any team in the Bundesliga.

This was also the 11th time they scored four or more goals in a single match this season.

Seven Bayern players have contributed at least three goals, which is second only to Arsenal across the major European leagues.

However, while the Gunners can sometimes rely on set pieces to win games, 50 Of Bayern’s 66 league goals were scored from open play, only 10 came from a corner kick or free kick, plus six penalty kicks.

This means the German champions can now break another record – the most goals scored in a full Bundesliga season, which stood at 101 by Bayern themselves in 1972.

If their scoring rate continues at this pace, they may even be able to target Torino’s Serie A goal tally of 125 in 1948 – an all-time record for a major European league.

Bayern’s current scoring average of 3.8 goals per game expects the total to reach 132 by May.
