Bayern Munich are unbeaten in 17 Bundesliga matches
Bayern Munich's win against Koln on Wednesday meant the Bavarian giants equalled the record points tally at the halfway stage of a Bundesliga season - while scoring far more goals than any German top-flight side has ever managed after 17 matches.
BBC Sport takes a closer look at some of the stunning numbers behind Bayern's barnstorming start to the season.
It is not unusual for Bayern Munich to top the Bundesliga table at the halfway stage of the season but things are a little different after 17 matches in 2025-26.
The 3-1 victory against Koln at the RheineEnergieStadion extended their unbeaten league start to 15 wins and two draws from 17 matches - tying the Bundesliga points record of 47 at this stage, set by Pep Guardiola in his first season with Bayern in 2013-14.
