Ataque of Bayern of Munique breaks all-time records on Bundesliga
The Bavarian club’s offensive sector arrives for the clash in Munique with numbers that surpass marks from previous decades. Bayern scored 116 goals in 32 domestic league matches, securing the 2026 German league title with four rounds to spare. The offensive performance surpassed the mark established in the 1971/72 season, when the team led by Gerd Müller scored 101 goals.
The current formation is made up of the English Harry Kane, the French Michael Olise and the Colombian Luis Díaz.

Estratégia Vincent Kompany’s tactic focuses on Harry Kane’s mobility
The scheme used by the Belgian coach prioritizes the verticality of the plays and the constant exchange of positions in the last third of the field.
