"Bayern are more dominant at this point in the season than we were back then. No one in our team even talked about going an entire season unbeaten. For me, one thing was important: I wanted to win the league. The idea of remaining undefeated didn't even cross my mind. It had never happened before. Leverkusen managed it in the Bundesliga in 2024. So it's definitely on the minds of Bayern. And I believe Bayern can do it too."
"Bayern certainly are more dominant at the moment than Arsenal were. The 2004 champions had collected 27 points after 11 games, an impressive haul but not as impressive as Bayern's current 31 points after 11 games. But it was never necessarily Arsenal's ability to dominate matches that made them unbeatable but the ability to eke out a (domestic) result even on their worst days."
Bayern Munich display greater dominance this season than Arsenal did in 2003/04, with 31 points after 11 games versus Arsenal's 27. Arsenal prioritized securing the league title rather than pursuing an unbeaten record. Bayern's form has been strong, yet the team required added-time winners to progress in the DFB Pokal against third-division Wehen Wiesbaden and to salvage a Bundesliga draw with Union Berlin. Sustaining dominant performances across 34 Bundesliga matchdays remains untested. An invincible season is possible but still distant, requiring continued resilience and consistent results throughout the campaign.
