"Given Bayern's six-point lead over RB Leipzig coming into Matchday 11, Vincent Kompany 's team are guaranteed to retain top spot in the Bundesliga for what will be the 43rd matchday in a row, equalling the record in Germany's top flight for longest run at number one that Udo Lattek's FCB side set between March 1972 and June 1973. And of course such an achievement should be celebrated with three points."
"After a historic run of 16 straight wins in all competitions to start the season, Bayern's efforts finally caught up on them as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin before the international break. However, Joshua Kimmich still drew a positive from the late fightback. "It takes a lot to beat us at the moment," the Germany captain insisted."
Bayern are guaranteed to retain the Bundesliga lead for the 43rd consecutive matchday, equalling Udo Lattek's 1972–73 record, thanks to a six-point gap over RB Leipzig. Bayern's unbeaten Bundesliga run stands at 19 games (W15, D4), currently the longest across Europe's top five leagues and their best sequence since a 21-game run in 2019–20. A 2-2 draw at Union Berlin ended a 16-match winning streak, but captain Joshua Kimmich highlighted the team's resilience. Freiburg have lost only once in their last 13 competitive fixtures (W7, D5) and have never won in 25 Bundesliga trips to Munich (D3, L22).
