"Vincent Kompany revealed that the training week leading up to this final match in Heidenheim reminded him of times that are fortunately long gone: "It was like during the coronavirus pandemic," said the FC Bayern head coach, "whenever the doctor came, we had to worry that we would lose another player." As a result, nine players were unable to take part in the last competitive match of the calendar year on Sunday:"
"The record champions did not lose a single one of their 16 Bundesliga away games (twelve wins, four draws) in the entire 2025 calendar year - this was only the third time this had been achieved, occurring also in 1986 and 2013. The 41 points collected in the 15 games played so far this season are a club record - only in 2013/14 did the team have the same number of points at this stage of the season."
"sitting top-of-the-table at the winter break with a nine-point lead over second place - the second-largest lead for a league leader at this stage in the history of the league. "We sometimes feel like we did when we first started to play football," replied defender Jonathan Tah when asked about the secret to their unique success: "It's the combination that makes it work: we have fun and that's how we win games!""
Vincent Kompany described the training week before the Heidenheim match as reminiscent of the coronavirus period, with medical checks threatening further absences.
