Bayern Munich, under the leadership of Vincent Kompany, are firmly focused on rewriting the Bundesliga history books, specifically targeting a monumental record for the best season start established by former coach Pep Guardiola.
Kompany’s current side has begun the 2025/26 campaign in exceptional form, winning all eight matches with an unprecedented +26 goal difference, a start that had never before been achieved in the German top-flight.
However, the all-time winning run to begin a Bundesliga season remains at 10 consecutive victories, a spectacular feat set by Guardiola’s team during the 2015/16 campaign.
The pursuit highlights a fascinating managerial comparison: both coaches share an identical average of 2.52 points per game across their respective first 42 matches in charge.
Guardiola had amassed 110 points to Kompany’s 106 at that same benchmark. To successfully equal or break the 10-game record, the reigning champions face a daunting two-game hurdle.
They must first host a highly competitive Bayer Leverkusen side, which boasts an impressive record of being unbeaten in their last 37 Bundesliga away matches, before embarking on a tricky road trip to face Union Berlin on Matchday 10.
Kompany remains cautious about the rising expectations, emphasizing the need for sustained effort and humility given the caliber of the opposition.
Speaking after their latest victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach, the coach stressed the need to maintain focus:
“We can’t stop now and have to keep going; we have good momentum. We can’t get too arrogant. We must stay calm, work hard, and deliver a result in the next game.”
