"Despite Bayern Munich's 16-match winning streak across all competitions to start the 2025/26 season came to an end with their 2-2 draw at Union Berlin, they're still unbeaten in 17 matches. After playing the second half of the 2-1 win at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League with only 10 men, Bayern fought hard to salvage a point at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, especially considering the fact that Vincent Kompany only made one change to the starting lineup for the Union Berlin match form the one that won in Paris."
"Even with the first dropped points of the season, the overall outlook for the German Rekordmeister looks quite good. They're on the top of the Bundesliga table, 6 points clear of second-placed RB Leipzig, into the round of 16 of the DFB-Pokal, and are on top of the Champions League group phase table. They are quite arguably the best team in Europe right now, though the only thing Arsenal can boast over them ahead of the Champions League clash between the two sides later this month is that Mikel Arteta's side have yet to concede a goal in the Champions League - something Bayern will certainly want to change."
"We're not talking about titles that will only be awarded in April and May. But it's a great starting position and it's fun when we win so many games. We've laid a terrific foundation. Everything is always easier when you're in the flow. For me, it's more important to stick together in phases when things aren't going so well,"
Bayern Munich's 16-match winning streak to start 2025/26 ended with a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin, but the side remain unbeaten in 17 matches. Bayern played the second half of a 2-1 Champions League win at Paris Saint-Germain with 10 men and salvaged a point at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei despite only one change to Union's starting lineup from the Paris match. Bayern top the Bundesliga by six points, sit atop their Champions League group, and have reached the DFB-Pokal round of 16. Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies are expected back from injury. Christoph Freund urges staying grounded.
