Bayern Munich has written a new chapter in international football history by securing the Bundesliga title, a top-5 league. The Germans have confirmed their status by scoring an impressive 122 goals, nearly matching Torino's 1948 Serie A record of 125 goals. With five goals in their 5-1 victory over FC Cologne on Saturday, May 16, Bayern surpassed the 21st-century record held by Real Madrid from the 2011-2012 season, which was 121 goals, as noted by sports.ru.
Bayern Munich, the most decorated team in Bundesliga history, has secured another trophy, their 35th. With the final match result, they entered the annals of history. Since 1948, when Torino set the record for the most goals in a single season in Serie A (125), no other top-5 league team has come close to this achievement. At the time, Serie A consisted of 40 matches.
With 122 goals, Bayern has surpassed the record of this century set by Real Madrid in the 2011-2012 season. The English international Harry Kane (32) played a significant role, scoring 36 goals in 31 matches. Luis Díaz (29) from Colombia and Michael Olise (24) from France each scored 15 goals.
In the victory over Cologne, Kane scored a hat-trick (at minutes 10, 13, and 69), with the other two goals by Bischof (at minute 22) and Jackson (at minute 83).
Harry Kane joined Bayern Munich this summer of 2023 and won the Golden Boot from the start with 36 goals. "I feel great, because we deserved to win the title. I believe we dominated the league from the start, so this championship title is just as special as the first," Kane declared, as cited by FC Bayern.
Kane also spoke about the factors that differentiate Bayern from other teams, especially regarding the record they set after the decisive victory over FC Cologne. "It was a great finish for the Bundesliga campaign. Another very good performance, with many goals. Now we just need to enjoy the celebrations, as the season is long and difficult.
Of course, ending this way is the perfect way to do it. Many things come together for us, which differentiates us as a team. We always want to attack, push forward on the field, recover the ball quickly, and score as many goals as possible. This is due to our mindset and the way we train. Regardless of the opponents or the situation, we always want to play the same way, and we demonstrated that again today," Kane added for the mentioned source.
Bayern reached the semifinals of the Champions League, losing to PSG with a total score of 6-5, which qualified for their second consecutive final.
