Bayern Munich has notched 10 straight wins across all competitions to open the 2025-26 season. This marks the first such streak for any club in Europe’s top five leagues. The Bavarians now hold the world’s only perfect record.
FC Porto’s 0-0 draw against Benfica on October 5 ended their nine-game run. Thus, Bayern stands alone globally. Porto had dominated the Primeira Liga and Champions League qualifiers. Yet, a tense derby at Estádio do Dragão yielded just a point each.
Bayern’s attack has fired 38 goals in these matches. Meanwhile, they have conceded only eight. This yields a plus-30 goal difference. Such efficiency sets a Bundesliga record with 25 goals in six league games.
Vincent Kompany has driven this revival. The former Burnley boss blends high pressing with possession. He has quelled early skepticism at Allianz Arena. Summer signings integrate seamlessly under his plan.
This streak eclipses past marks. Manchester City managed nine wins in 2018-19. Juventus hit eight in 2011-12. No Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, or Ligue 1 side has reached 10.
What a streak!
Bayern kicked off with a 2-1 Supercup win over VfB Stuttgart on August 16. Then, they crushed RB Leipzig 6-0 in Bundesliga matchday one. A gritty 3-2 away victory followed against SV Wehen Wiesbaden in the DFB-Pokal.

Resilience shone in a 3-2 turnaround at FC Augsburg. Bayern thrashed Hamburger SV 5-0 next. They edged Chelsea 3-1 in Champions League round one. A 4-1 rally at TSG Hoffenheim sealed another away point.
Clean sheets piled up. Bayern blanked Werder Bremen 4-0. They romped Pafos FC 5-1 in Europe. Finally, a 3-0 rout of Eintracht Frankfurt on October 4 capped the run.
Manuel Neuer anchors the backline. His experience limits chances. A compact midfield aids this solidity. Still, eight goals conceded signal tweaks against top sides.
Bayern leads the Bundesliga by nine points. Their league goal difference sits at plus-23. Borussia Dortmund stumbled in a recent draw. Thus, pressure mounts on rivals.
In the Champions League, Bayern eyes a deep run. A sixth title looms possible. Kompany’s shifts post-Julien Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel eras foster youth.
No other club matches this globally. Porto sits at nine wins, one draw. Sporting CP claims seven victories. Paris Saint-Germain has seven wins but a draw. Major League Soccer and Asian leagues show no 10-win starts.
However, challenges still await. A mid-October trip to Manchester City tests them. Domestic derbies add more pressure. Injury risks, like Kane’s minor issue, demand rotation.
Yet, momentum still builds on. This is like Bayern’s 2012-13 treble under Jupp Heynckes. Kompany’s managerial pattern scales well. Fans are excited and sense an all-good season ahead.
