    Bayern Munich’s record-breaking Bundesliga goal rush

    If Kane has been the protagonist, Bayern have also boasted an impressive supporting cast.

    Seven different players scored in the 8-1 win against Wolfsburg last weekend, meaning Bayern have had 15 scorers this season – the joint most of any Bundesliga side.

    It was also the 11th time they have scored four or more goals in a game this season.

    Seven Bayern players have contributed at least three goals, which is second only to Arsenal across the major European leagues.

    However, while the Gunners can sometimes be reliant on set-pieces to win matches, 50 of Bayern’s 66 league goals have been scored from open play, with only 10 coming via a corner or free-kick, plus six penalties.

    This means the German champions can now target toppling another record – the most goals scored in an entire Bundesliga season, which stands at 101 by Bayern themselves in 1972.

    Should their scoring rate continue at such a pace they may also be able to target Torino’s Serie A total of 125 goals in 1948 – an all-time record for a major European league.

    Bayern’s current scoring average of 3.8 goals per game projects a total of 132 by May.
