Bayern Munich Continues Dominance with Record-Breaking Win Against 1. FC Köln
In a thrilling match that solidified Bayern Munich's position at the top of the Bundesliga, the German giants handed 1. FC Köln a crushing defeat of 4-1 in the DFB Pokal on Wednesday. The win marked Bayern's 13th consecutive victory across all competitions to start the season, tying the record set by AC Milan in 1992/93.
The match was an exciting back-and-forth affair, with Köln taking the lead early courtesy of a stunning header from Ragnar Ache. However, just five minutes later, Luis Díaz equalized for Bayern, although the goal was initially disputed due to two Bayern players being clearly offside in the buildup.
As the game progressed, Bayern's superior quality shone through, with Harry Kane scoring a brace and Michael Olise adding another as the Bavarians took control. The dominant performance earned Bayern their 13th consecutive win, not only matching but also surpassing AC Milan's record from over two decades ago on goal differential.
"We're experiencing a good period and have to keep this feeling and this winning mentality going," Kane said after the match, highlighting his team's ability to adapt and maintain their high standards. The English striker has been a key factor in Bayern's remarkable start to the season, with 25 goals in just 17 games across all competitions.
Despite the record-breaking win, Bayern Munich's coach Vincent Kompany emphasized that the next few games will be crucial in determining the team's long-term success. With three games in six days against Leverkusen, PSG, and Union Berlin, among others, Bayern must navigate their toughest test yet to secure any titles at the end of the season.
The sheer magnitude of Bayern's achievement has left many stunned, with Transfermarkt reporting that no team in Europe's top five leagues comes close to matching their starting records. As the Rekordmeister continues its dominance, fans and pundits alike will be eagerly watching to see if they can maintain this winning mentality throughout the season.

The fact that they're being matched by no team in Europe's top five leagues is concerning, are they taking their opponents lightly or is it just a case of other teams struggling to keep up?
