Bundesliga half-time report: Five things we have learnt so far

Can Bayern Munich go one better under Pep?

When Bayern Munich won the League last year, winning 29 of their 34 games, losing just once and scoring a staggering 98 goals, many thought that that was it. Many believed that, they had come as close to perfection as it was possible, after all, they smashed Dortmund’s record of most points in a single season by an incredible 10 points. But, for all their achievements, one thing still eluded them, they were unable to finish the season undefeated. A feat that has never been achieved since the formation of the Bundesliga in 1963.

Dresdner SC was the last team to manage an unbeaten season, when they won all 23 games in the 1942–43 season. But since then, no team, has been able to achieve that feat. But, Bayern Munich going into the winter break, knowing fully well that, if they continue playing the way they are not only will they get that record, but also have a legitimate shot at also becoming the most prolific scorers in the Bundesliga, by beating their own mark of 101 set in 1971/72.
