Under the stewardship of Vincent Kompany, FC Bayern Mรผnchen has charged into the 2025/26 season with the ferocity of a lion on the prowl, notching a phenomenal 13 consecutive victories in all competitions โ a start so dazzling that it draws a direct line to the legendary run of Fabio Capelloโs AC Milan side in 1992/93. In doing so, Bayern havenโt just begun strongโtheyโve sent out a declaration: they intend to etch their name beside the greats of European football.
Kompanyโs arrival in Munich marked a new chapter. Having already claimed the Bundesliga crown in his debut campaign at Bayern, he has now transformed the team into a well-oiled machine, one whose opening act of the current season leaves opponents reeling. With each win, the momentum builds; with each goal, the belief deepens. The 13-in-a-row start is no mere statisticโitโs a statement of intent, announcing that Bayern under Kompany aim not just to compete but to dominate across every front.
To compare this ascent with Capelloโs Milan in their golden year is to understand just how rare such a feat is in the elite world of European football. Capelloโs Milan squad is enshrined in history for its devastating consistency and its methodical dismantling of opposition in Italyโs Serie A and beyond. Now Bayern, under Kompany, appear to be threading the same needle: combining tactical sophistication, unshakeable self-belief, and ruthless efficiency.
This historic run thus resonates on multiple levels. It recalls the pastโforging a connection to one of the great teams of the early 1990sโwhile simultaneously thrusting Bayern into the here and now, demanding from rivals, fans, and neutrals alike: take heed. When a team begins a season with 13 straight wins, especially under a young coach hungry for legacy, the ripples extend far beyond domestic borders.
Of course, the season is far from decided; every win now becomes a marker, every opponent a challenger, every mistake magnified. But for Bayern and Kompany, the narrative has already been written: this is a team on a record-chasing mission, a club determined to not just echo the glories of Milanโs Capello era but to carve out its own myth in the annals of European football.
