Another dazzling night for Bayern Munich, as Vincent Kompany’s men continued their unstoppable run with a powerful performance that demolished another opponent. The 4–1 triumph at RheinEnergieStadion not only sent them deeper into the German Cup but also etched their name into European football’s history books.
According to Opta, Bayern have now won 14 straight matches in all competitions since the start of the season — a record no club from Europe’s top five leagues has ever reached.
A New European Benchmark
This run allows Bayern to surpass AC Milan’s previous record of 13 straight wins in the 1992/93 season. Following behind are Real Madrid (1961/62 and 1968/69), Tottenham (1960/61), and Borussia Dortmund (2015/16), each stopping at 11.
Consistency, squad depth, and an explosive attacking form have turned Bayern into a true winning machine. They don’t just win — they dominate, showcasing organized, fearless football that leaves opponents in awe.
A Rough Start, a Glorious Finish
Bayern’s victory over Cologne didn’t begin smoothly. The hosts played aggressively and even struck first in the 31st minute through Ragnar Ache’s powerful header.
The RheinEnergieStadion erupted, but the joy was short-lived. Within minutes, Bayern restored control and showed why they’re Europe’s most formidable side.
In the 36th minute, Luis Díaz capitalized on a defensive mistake to equalize, though the goal sparked controversy due to a possible offside — with no VAR in the DFB-Pokal, it stood.
Just two minutes later, Cologne were punished again. Harry Kane turned brilliantly and fired a left-footed strike into the top corner — a classic world-class striker’s finish.
The Second Half – A Familiar Bayern Munich Storm
After halftime, Bayern maintained relentless pressure. Cologne gradually ran out of steam, and in the 64th minute, Kane rose high to head home from a corner, sealing his brace.
The night ended perfectly when new signing Michael Olise scored in the 72nd minute to make it 4–1, wrapping up another commanding performance.
This victory not only strengthened Bayern’s dominance in Germany but also marked a new golden chapter in European football history.
Harry Kane – The Soul of the Record-Breaking Run
Since joining Bayern, Harry Kane has truly found his paradise. Beyond being the main striker, he’s the embodiment of composure and precision.
With 22 goals in just 14 matches, Kane’s scoring rate has reached astonishing levels, surpassing even his Premier League days. In this 14-match winning run, he’s directly contributed to nine games through goals or assists.
The chemistry between Kane, Luis Díaz, Olise, and Jamal Musiala has created Europe’s most dangerous attacking quartet — a unit defined by speed, creativity, and unpredictability.
Kompany’s Bayern – A New Era of Greatness
This record is not just about individual brilliance; it’s also proof of Vincent Kompany’s bold and effective vision. Once doubted as Thomas Tuchel’s successor, Kompany has transformed Bayern into a modern attacking powerhouse — disciplined yet dynamic.
Under his guidance, Bayern play exhilarating football that balances flair and structure, making them a legitimate contender on all fronts.
Analysts now believe that if Bayern maintain this form, they could aim for another historic treble — a dream not seen since the days of Jupp Heynckes and Hansi Flick.
From a summer filled with uncertainty, Bayern Munich have risen to become the embodiment of perfection. Their 14-game winning streak is more than a record — it’s a statement. The “Bavarian era” is far from over. Under Kompany’s leadership and Kane’s brilliance, Bayern are not just chasing victories — they’re rewriting the history of European football, one goal, one match, one unforgettable night at a time.
