The story so far
Want more Bundesliga Action?
Having finished ten points ahead of runners-up VfL Wolfsburg in 2014/15, it is perhaps unsurprising that Pep Guardiola’s side set the Bundesliga pace 12 games into the new campaign. The manner in which the record titleholders have continued to add to their collection of milestones and best-marks, though, has been nothing short of astonishing.
Since chalking up the biggest opening-day victory in Bundesliga history against Hamburger SV in August, the Bavarians have gone on to become the first German top-flight team ever to win their opening nine games, record their 1000th Bundesliga victory (against 1. FC Köln on Matchday 12), and topple several other records along the way.
