Vincent Kompany describes key trait to Bayern Munich’s record success this season

In the final month of the 2025/26 season, Bayern Munich has already sewn up the Bundesliga title, shattered the league’s goal scoring record, secured a place in the DFB-Pokal final, and sit one win away from claiming a spot in the Champions League final. It is safe to say that Vincent Kompany has this squad firing on all cylinders.

There is a little irony that Kompany was a defender throughout his playing career but has unleashed the greatest scoring team in Bundesliga history. Bayern is only three goals away from hitting the same mark in the Champions League, held by Bayern’s 1999/2000 team that scored 45 goals in 16 games.

“It’s always down to the quality of the players,” said Kompany (via @iMiaSanMia). “You need players who can score. They have that hunger to keep going. That’s how you achieve those results. My role is to see what we can improve and to keep that hunger alive. It’s in the DNA of this club. But the main thing is winning trophies.”

Five different players have scored double-digit goals across all competitions, led by Harry Kane’s 54 goals, and 19 different players have scored and 19 different players have recorded an assist.
