FC Bayern is marching unstoppably through the Bundesliga and breaking new records every week. If the Munich team maintain their level, Lewandowski’s goals record will also wobble.
The whole family comes together at Christmas. Over potato salad and sausages, everyone talks about their year, asks the same questions and takes stock together. The results at FC Bayern Munich are likely to be positive this year, and that can be said even before the final weekend of the Bundesliga. The players and those responsible have collected one or two records that they can brag about under the Christmas tree.
Kane chases him Lewandowski record
The most recent one was made clear last weekend against Mainz: FC Bayern already have 51 goals to their name after 14 league games. This is a new Bundesliga record. If Munich continues to score so reliably, they would have 123 goals at the end of the season. That would again be a clear record. Bayern also hold the current Bundesliga record with 101 goals from the 1971/72 season under Udo Lattek. And under Hansi Flick there were at least another 100 goals in the 2019/20 season.
But further down the list: 18 of Bayern’s 51 goals in the current season were scored by Harry Kane. The exceptional striker is on the way to breaking Robert Lewandowski’s 41-goal record from the 2020/21 season: “I think that’s possible, especially with the start I’ve had so far this year,” he said himself on Sky (external link). “I need to be able to maintain this level for another four or five months. In football the hardest thing is to be consistent over a long period of time.”
Kane has already set a number of records himself: after converting a penalty against Mainz, he has 20 penalties sunk in a row in the league. He also scored his 50th competitive goal in his 55th competitive game for FC Bayern in 2025, a new personal record. Never before has he scored so many goals in one year at club level. In addition, the record champions could end the year without an away defeat. This only happened in 1986 and 2013.
Newer Record high flyers: Lennart Karl
But it’s not just the veterans who are collecting records at FC Bayern, but one youngster in particular is currently breaking a number of records: Lennart Karl recorded his fifth direct goal involvement in the Bundesliga on Sunday against Mainz at the age of 17. Before his 18th birthday, never before had a Munich player contributed so many goals in the Bundesliga.
Karl is also the youngest German Champions League goalscorer and the youngest player to score three times in a row in the premier classhe broke a record set by the exceptional French striker Kylian Mbappé. The 17-year-old whiz kid will probably have some exciting stories to tell under the Christmas tree this year.
Records are nice, titles are better
No wonder when you play in a team that is currently breaking a number of records seemingly effortlessly. But at the end of the season, it’s not the record collection at Marienplatz that should be celebrated, but ideally the triple of championship, DFB Cup and Henkelpott.
To achieve this, the Munich team still needs a lot of stamina in the new year and probably at the top of Bayern coach Vincent Kompany’s wish list: lots of healthy players in top form.
