Bayern Munich established a new Bundesliga record for the most goals scored in a single season during a 5-0 victory over St. Pauli on April 11, 2026. The match, held at the Millerntor-Stadion in Hamburg, saw the league leaders overcome a St. Pauli side currently fighting to escape the relegation play-off spot.
The record-breaking performance followed a 2-1 Champions League victory against Real Madrid. To manage player fatigue ahead of the return leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals on Wednesday, coach Vincent Kompany implemented seven changes to the starting lineup, including resting Harry Kane.

Bayern Munich broke the deadlock in the 9th minute when Jamal Musiala headed in a cross from Konrad Laimer. This goal marked the team’s 101st league goal of the campaign, equalling the club’s previous scoring record set during the 1971/72 season.
After a tight first half that ended 1-0, Bayern increased their lead with a series of goals in the second half. Leon Goretzka scored in the 53rd minute following an assist from Raphaël Guerreiro, a goal that officially surpassed the 1971/72 club record. Michael Olise added a third in the 54th minute, assisted by Goretzka.
The scoring continued in the 65th minute when Nicolas Jackson scored the fourth goal, assisted by Musiala. Raphaël Guerreiro completed the rout in the 88th minute with a goal assisted by Jackson.
