Bayern Munich beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0 this Saturday and maintained their perfect campaign at the start of the season. The team has eight victories in eight rounds of the Bundesliga and has reached 13 consecutive victories, also considering the Champions League, German Cup and Super Cup. In total, he scored 47 goals and conceded 9.

With the sequence, Bayern equals Milan in 1992/93 as the best start to a season among clubs in the five main European leagues (Germany, Spain, England, Italy and France). In the Bundesliga, they lead with 24 points, 30 goals scored and only 4 conceded in eight games.

The advantage over second-placed RB Leipzig remains at five points — the rival beat Augsburg 6-0 in the round. Bayern faced the competition’s bottom team, which has just three points, and had the game made easier by the expulsion of Jens Castrop in the 19th minute of the first half for a harsh foul on Luis Díaz.

With Harry Kane well marked, the goals came from the bench. Gnabry came on in the second half and assisted Kimmich to open the scoring. Then, Rafael Guerreiro expanded, and young Lennart Karl, 17 years old, completed the victory.
