"The 3-1 victory against Koln at the RheineEnergieStadion extended their unbeaten league start to 15 wins and two draws from 17 matches - tying the Bundesliga points record of 47 at this stage, set by Pep Guardiola in his first season with Bayern in 2013-14. However, Vincent Kompany's team have achieved the feat in finer style, scoring a record 66 goals at the halfway stage - 22 more than Guardiola's team managed 12 years ago."
"The sheer scale of Bayern's scoring has not been seen at this stage of any leading European league since the 1930s. Athletic Bilbao were the last club to have scored more than Bayern's 66 goals after 17 fixtures, netting 72 in 1930-31 - and they proved crucial as the Basque club went on to secure the La Liga title on goal difference after three teams finished level in an 18-game season. Bilbao's goal difference was 28 better than Racing Santander in second."
Bayern Munich recorded 47 points from 17 Bundesliga matches after a 3-1 win at Koln, matching the halfway points record. The team remained unbeaten with 15 wins and two draws and scored a record 66 goals at the halfway stage, 22 more than Pep Guardiola's 2013-14 side. Guardiola's 2013-14 Bayern finished with 90 points and won the title with seven games remaining. Vincent Kompany's Bayern sit 11 points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund and could target the Bundesliga record of 91 points set in 2012-13. No leading European club has matched this scoring rate since Athletic Bilbao in 1930-31, when Bilbao scored 72 goals and won La Liga on goal difference.
