Bayern Munich Break Goal Record and Close In on Bundesliga Title

FC Bayern Munich established a new all-time Bundesliga scoring record on April 11, 2026, following a 5-0 victory over St. Pauli. The win pushed the Bavarian club to a total of 105 goals for the season, surpassing the previous record of 101 goals set by the club during the 1971-72 campaign.

The record-breaking performance occurred at St. Pauli, where Bayern dominated the match to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table to 12 points. The victory leaves Bayern with 76 points and five games remaining in the season.

Match Details and Scoring Sequence

Jamal Musiala opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a header, which brought Bayern level with the 1971-72 record of 101 goals. The record was officially broken in the 53rd minute when Leon Goretzka scored a volley to mark the 102nd league goal of the season.

Michael Olise increased the tally to 103 goals just one minute after Goretzka’s strike. Nicolas Jackson added a fourth goal in the 65th minute, and Raphaël Guerreiro scored the final goal to bring the total to 105.

Coach Vincent Kompany rested several players for the fixture, including Harry Kane. Despite the rotations, the team managed a decisive victory against a relegation-threatened St. Pauli side.

League Standings and Context

The result significantly impacts the Bundesliga title race. Second-placed Borussia Dortmund now trails Bayern by 12 points after suffering a 1-0 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen. Robert Andrich scored the winning goal for Leverkusen in that match.

Bayern’s current total of 105 goals with five matches left puts them in a position to potentially challenge other European records. This includes the Premier League record of 106 goals set by Manchester City in 2017-18 and the 121 goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid in La Liga during the 2011-12 season.

The overall record for Europe’s top five leagues remains 125 goals, achieved by Torino in Serie A during the 1947-48 season, though that was a 40-game schedule compared to the Bundesliga’s 34-game format.

Player and Coach Reactions

Following the match, Jamal Musiala commented on Goretzka breaking the record, stating, Sadly, he’s the one who broke it. But yes, it was a good moment, great moment for Leon as well. It’s gonna be with both of us forever, hopefully.

Vincent Kompany noted that it was fitting for Goretzka to score the historic goal, adding that he had told the team, if there’s one person who believes in his moment, it’s Leon.
