Bayern Munich, Harry Kane and Michael Olise chasing even more records in remarkable season
Bayern Munich have scored three goals or more in 21 out of 27 Bundesliga games this season. With eight matchdays remaining, numerous records could still be broken as the defending champions, Harry Kane and Michael Olise aim for the stars…
Bayern have dropped points in only five league games this season as they've opened up a nine-point lead over Borussia Dortmund at the summit, but it's the manner of their 22 victories that has been most impressive.
Vincent Kompany's men top of the table on 70 points but with a huge +72 goal difference.
After winning their opening nine games of the campaign, they looked on course to break the points record for a season, set by Bayern in 2012/13 with 91 (plus a goal difference of +80).

However, with 11 points dropped, they can now only equal that, if they win their remaining seven fixtures - hardly impossible given they won 16 straight games in all competitions to begin the campaign.
At this stage, though, breaking the record single-season goal tally as a team appears more likely. So far in their 27 fixtures, Bayern have found the back of the net on a remarkable 97 occasions. Unsurprisingly, that is also the best-ever haul at this point of a campaign, coming in at an average of 3.59 goals per game and smashing the previous best of 81 in 2021/22.
There have already been several huge wins, with RB Leipzig suffering the brunt of Bayern’s scoring wrath by shipping 11 times across their two meetings with Kompany’s men, while they even put eight past Wolfsburg on Matchday 16.

Additionally, the Munich-based outfit have also scored four goals on five occasions, amassed a five-goal haul four times and struck six twice.
To surpass the current record number of 101 goals (by Bayern in 1971/72), they will need just five more in the remaining seven fixtures. That should be child’s play.
Several Bayern stars have displayed clinical finishing, but Kane once again leads the way. Having already been the Torjägerkönig in each of his first two Bundesliga seasons, the Englishman is on track to make it a hat-trick after plundering 31 goals thus far. As such, Robert Lewandowski’s single-season record of 41 goals and whether Kane can beat it is the topic of much conversation.
By the end of Matchday 27 during that unforgettable 2020/21 season, the legendary Pole had struck 35 times - ahead of Kane - but then had a few games out injured and didn't score again until Matchday 31.
After an electric start that saw Kane rack up two hat-tricks and two braces in the opening five matchdays, Bayern's goal-getter has scored at a slower, yet consistent rate, including a run of four successive braces in early spring.
While the Englishman is his side’s main goalscorer, Olise has been the leading provider of assists. The France international picked up an assist against Bayer Leverkusen to move to 17 for the campaign, already more than the league-leading 15 he managed during the entire 2024/25 season.
It means Thomas Müller’s overall record of 21 goals created during 2019/20 is very much at risk. After 27 games of that campaign, the Raumdeuter also had 17 assists.

Bayern’s main goal will be to wrap up the defence of their Bundesliga title as quickly and convincingly as possible, before going in search of the DFB Cup and UEFA Champions League trophies to complete what would be another memorable treble.
On current form, Kane, Olise and the team as a whole have every chance of writing themselves into the history books in the process.
