The Highs: Record winning streak and the gaffer stays four more years
Not third-best, not second-best, but the best. Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich had the greatest start in the history of the European top-five leagues, breaking AC Milan's record in 1992/93. Die Roten defeated 16 opponents to start the 2025/26 season, including the European Champion PSG and the Club World Cup winner Chelsea.
During the streak, Bayern showed their attacking prowess in the 6-0 victory against RB Leipzig or in the 5-0 beatdown of Hamburg. The architect behind this feat, Vincent Kompany, was awarded a four-year extension until 2029.
Not only excelling tactically, but the Belgian coach has transformed the club's mentality and revitalised the passion and energy in the players. This lengthened bond will bring plenty of positivity and stability to the club, looking to build a lasting dynasty.
