Bayern Munich Close In on Historic Record After Dominant Victory Over Club Brugge

Bayern Munich moved to within touching distance of a long-standing European record after a commanding 4–0 victory over Belgian side Club Brugge in the Champions League.

The Bavarians were in complete control throughout, with debutant and Player of the Match Lennart Karl opening the scoring, followed by goals from Harry Kane, Luis Díaz, and Nicolas Jackson. The emphatic win extended Bayern’s remarkable winning streak to 12 consecutive matches, leaving them just one short of equalling the record set by AC Milan in 1992.

Next up for the Rekordmeister is a Bundesliga trip to Borussia Mönchengladbach, a side languishing at the bottom of the table without a single win so far this season. Historically, Gladbach have earned a reputation as Bayern’s “bogey team”, but given the Bavarians’ current form and the hosts’ struggles, Thomas Tuchel’s men are widely expected to match Milan’s record this weekend.

Following that encounter, Bayern face FC Köln in the DFB-Pokal, a fixture that could see them surpass Milan’s mark outright. Considering the side’s current rhythm and dominance, few would bet against them achieving it.

In Wednesday night’s clash, Club Brugge offered resistance early on, but Bayern’s class quickly told. Their precise passing, relentless pressing, and attacking flair overwhelmed the Belgian champions.

Bayern’s excellent run of form has not only underlined their European pedigree but also boosted their confidence heading into a busy domestic and continental schedule.
