Bundesliga season

While Borussia Dortmund: Bayern Munich are on a record-setting path, with spirits high for a good reason. Ahead of their Bundesliga clash against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, the 2020 treble winner is riding a wave of early success in the 2025-26 European football season, with nine straight wins, 35 goals scored, and only eight conceded.

Another win in Frankfurt would cement Bayern as a European record holder, as no other team in the continent's top leagues has ever secured 10 victories in the first 10 games of a season.

While Borussia Dortmund (2015-16, +26 goal difference), AC Milan (1992-93, +24), Real Madrid (1968-69, +23), and Manchester City (2016-17, +22) also won their first nine games - alongside Roma, Hamburger SV, and Chelsea with lower differentials - Bayern's goal-scoring form is unprecedented, reports Xinhua.
