FC Bayern Munich is enjoying a scintillating start to the 2025/2026 season, marking a perfect run across all competitions that has solidified their position at the top of the Bundesliga and Champions League. Under new manager Vincent Kompany, the Bavarian giants have secured a flawless ten wins from ten competitive matches (as of October 2025), a blistering run underscored by an incredible goal difference and dominant performances.
Match Analysis: The Frankfurt Masterclass
Bayern’s latest impressive victory was a commanding 3-0 away win against Eintracht Frankfurt. The game was a testament to the team’s potent attack, ignited by a Luis Díaz goal just 15 seconds into the match. Díaz, who has settled into life at the Allianz Arena spectacularly, later sealed his brace, with Harry Kane netting his 11th Bundesliga goal of the season in between. This attacking “triple threat” of Kane, Díaz, and the in-form Michael Olise—who Kompany sees as having “Superstar potential”—has proven nearly unstoppable.
Kompany’s Tactical Impact
The incredible start is a direct reflection of Kompany’s tactical revolution. He has instilled a clear, possession-based philosophy that focuses on high pressing and creating numerical superiority in the middle. While often utilizing a flexible 4-2-3-1 formation, Kompany encourages fluid passing, high-risk possession, and an aggressive “rest defense” to quickly win the ball back. He’s also provided clarity to the back line, with Dayot Upamecano and new signing Jonathan Tah forming a solid partnership. This blend of tactical structure and player motivation has transformed Bayern into a well-oiled machine.
Transfer Talk: Eyes on the Future
Looking ahead to the upcoming windows, the club remains focused on strategic planning amidst a busy market. Discussions for a contract extension with Dayot Upamecano are reportedly positive. Meanwhile, transfer rumors continue to swirl, with Bayern linked to AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan and also preparing to field interest for young midfielder Aleksandar Pavlovic from clubs like Manchester City, though the club is keen to keep their homegrown talent. The strategy, following a summer that saw the arrivals of Luis Díaz and Michael Olise, appears to be one of targeted reinforcement and securing key current players.
