Bayern Munich have won all of their Champions League and Bundesliga games this season
On Saturday afternoon Atalanta suffered the first loss of their Serie A campaign, succumbing to Udinese in a rather lacklustre affair. A few hours later, Bayern Munich beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in decisive fashion.
These two events may seem unrelated, but they meant that Bayern have become the only unbeaten team across the top five leagues in Europe. They have made a 100% start in the Bundesliga - nine wins in nine games, with only four goals conceded.
One might say that the Bundesliga doesn't pose a challenge to Bayern but looking back at the previous three seasons, we must realise that they were challenged quite a bit by Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, to the point that they edged to the title in the final minutes of the 2022-23 season and lost it a year later to Leverkusen.
There is a reason that Bayern's coaching office seemingly had a revolving door for a while. Two weeks ago, Vincent Kompany, the current manager, extended his contract until 2029, making him the first Bayern boss since Louis van Gaal in 2010 to sign an early contract extension.
