Bayern Munich Sets New European Record with 14th Consecutive Victory
On October 29, 2025, Bayern Munich achieved a remarkable feat by securing their 14th consecutive win in competitive play, overcoming Cologne 4-1 in the German Cup. This victory marks one of the best starts to a season in soccer history.
Harry Kane led the charge for Bayern, scoring two goals. Under the management of Vincent Kompany, the team has enjoyed an undefeated run across all competitions, including the Bundesliga, the German Cup, and the Champions League during the 2025-26 season. With this victory, Bayern Munich surpassed the previous record of 13 consecutive wins, a mark that was set by AC Milan during the 1992-93 season.
“We’re always hungry, we always want to win, and we’re never satisfied,” stated defender Jonathan Tah. “Today we are happy, but tomorrow we will focus on the next game.”
This match was particularly noteworthy as it marked the first time since July that Bayern fell behind in a game, following a header from Ragnar Ache in the 31st minute that put Cologne ahead. However, Bayern quickly turned the situation around by scoring two goals within a span of two minutes. The first was by Luis Díaz, who appeared to be offside, but video review is not utilized until later rounds of the competition. Kane then doubled Bayern’s tally with an impressive acrobatic goal in the 38th minute.
Kane further propelled Bayern’s lead with a header off a corner, bringing his total to 22 goals for the team in just 14 matches this season. Shortly after, Díaz assisted Michael Olise, who scored Bayern’s fourth goal on a quick counterattack.
As it stands, no team in the top five European leagues has ever embarked on a winning streak this extensive at the start of a season.
