Bayern Munich Chases Historic Bundesliga Scoring Record

With 53 goals in the first half of the season, Vincent Kompany's team eyes the 101-goal milestone set in 1971/72 but prioritizes reclaiming the championship.

• Bayern Munich scored 53 goals in the first 17 matches of the season, the second-highest tally in Bundesliga history for a half-season.
• The current record of 101 goals in a single Bundesliga season was set by Bayern's legendary 1971/72 team featuring Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller.
• Head coach Vincent Kompany credits the players' individual quality for the scoring spree, downplaying his tactical influence on the team’s success.
• Kompany emphasized that breaking the scoring record is secondary to reclaiming the Bundesliga title after last season's victory by Bayer Leverkusen.
• Several key players, including Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, and Kingsley Coman, are returning to form, while defender Josip Stanisic rejoins the squad after recovering from a knee injury.
