FC Bayern Munich has reached an impressive milestone in the Bundesliga, extending its lead atop the table to 43 consecutive matchdays. This achievement has not been seen since the club’s dominance in the 1970s.
Bayern Munich’s Dominance Continues
As of Matchday 11 of the current season, Bayern remains the league leader, maintaining a six-point advantage over their closest competitor, RB Leipzig. Bayern’s goal difference is a staggering +29 compared to Leipzig’s +7.
Historical Context
This current streak is reminiscent of Bayern’s record set between March 1972 and June 1973 under coach Udo Lattek. The team won 66 consecutive matches at the top of the table during that period.
Recent Performance
- Bayern started the 2024/25 season with an impressive 6-0 victory against RB Leipzig.
- Following this, they recorded 31 wins, eight draws, and only two losses.
- They have maintained their leading position since Matchday 3.
Should Bayern protect their top spot through the remainder of the season, they would break their own record of consecutive matchdays leading the table. This remarkable run highlights Bayern’s position as the Bundesliga club with the most total time spent in the lead, with 898 individual matchdays at the top.
Competition Overview
Behind Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach have spent significantly less time leading the league, with 182 and 138 days, respectively. Bayern Munich continues to fortify its legacy as the dominant force in German football.
