After a flawless start to the season, Bayern Munich had a bumpy ride during October. They endured a couple of defeats, but performances have been largely impressive under Vincent Kompany. The general trajectory of the team looks to be upward despite some poor results.
Bayern remain top of the Bundesliga table, courtesy of a superior goal difference than RB Leipzig. They dropped points away at Eintracht Frankfurt at the start of the last month by conceding a late equalizer. However, they managed to win their other two league games in October to retain the top spot in the points table.
The Champions League is the competition where Bayern have largely suffered in October. They lost two consecutive away games against Aston Villa and FC Barcelona. The Bavarian club will need a flawless record in their remaining five league games to finish in the top eight.
Meanwhile, Bayern rounded off a good month in the domestic competitions by defeating Mainz in the second round of DFB Pokal on Wednesday. Let us look at the power rankings for Bayern Munich players during an eventful October.
