Bayern Munich have produced some remarkable football this season, and their second consecutive Bundesliga title under Vincent Kompany underlines just how far the club has come since the Belgian’s arrival in the summer of 2024. Harry Kane has been at the centre of it, scoring 56 goals across all competitions as the Bavarians reasserted themselves as the dominant force in German football and beyond.
It has been a season of records, milestones and some genuinely high-stakes European nights, all of which has made Bayern a compelling watch from start to finish. Fans following the action through VirginBet will have had no shortage of moments to track, as Kompany’s side have produced one headline performance after another. Here are the standout moments of their 2025-26 campaign, which helped them become 35-time Bundesliga champions.
A record-breaking start
The tone was set almost immediately, withBayern opening the season with a 6-0 demolition of RB Leipzig on the opening day, and Kane helping himself to a hat-trick in the second half.
By the end of October, they had surpassed AC Milan’s record from 1992-93 for the best start in Europe’s top five leagues, with 14 wins in 14 games across all competitions. Across their opening 18 league matches, Bayern went unbeaten, winning 16 of them to become only the third Bundesliga club to achieve that feat.
Their only defeat of the season eventually came at home to Augsburg, a 2-1 loss in January, though by that point the title race was already as good as settled. At the halfway stage, Bayern had accumulated 50 points with a goal difference of +57, surpassing even Pep Guardiola’s record-breaking 2013-14 side at the same point in the season.
Kane reaches 500 career goals
14 February 2026 will be remembered as a landmark date in Harry Kane’s career. The England captain scored twice in a 3-0 away win against Werder Bremen to bring up his 500th senior goal for club and country, reaching the milestone in 743 appearances with 100 of those coming from the penalty spot.
Beating Real Madrid in the Champions League
Bayern’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena was the European highlight of the season. Going into the tie with a one-goal lead after the 2-1 win at the Bernabeu in the first leg, Kompany’s side produced a 4-3 victory on the night to progress 6-4 on aggregate, setting up a semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
The result sent them into the semi-finals, and also moved Bayern above Real Madrid in UEFA’s 10-year club ranking system for the first time, with the Bavarians accumulating 280,500 points to sit top of the standings. Kane’s goal in the second leg took him to 50 goals in the Champions League, reached in just 66 appearances.
Breaking the Bundesliga scoring record
On 11 April 2026, Bayern’s 5-0 win at St Pauli on matchday 29 brought their season tally to 105 Bundesliga goals, surpassing their previous record of 101 set in the 1971-72 season.
Olise leads the Bundesliga assist charts with 18, five clear of his nearest rival, while Diaz has played more minutes than any of his teammates in the league in his first season at the club.
Clinching back-to-back titles
Bayern secured their 35th Bundesliga title on matchday 30 with a 4-1 win over VfB Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. Raphael Guerreiro, Serge Gnabry, Alphonso Davies, and Kane scored the goals as the title was wrapped up with four games still to play, a measure of how complete Bayern’s dominance has been across the campaign.
With a DFB-Pokal semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen still to come and a Champions League semi-final against PSG on the horizon, the 2025-26 season has the potential to deliver even more. Bayern have already made it one of the most statistically remarkable campaigns in their history, and the treble remains very much on.
