FC Bayern's Unchallenged Dominance Continues in 2025/26 Bundesliga Season

FC Bayern München maintains a commanding lead in the 2025/26 Bundesliga with a flawless record of nine wins from nine matches. Their recent 3-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen underscored their supremacy, despite Leverkusen's strong recent form and previous 37-match unbeaten run away from home. Bayern's coach Vincent Kompany notably rested star players such as Luis Diaz, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane for this match, which could have been risky had Leverkusen posed a greater threat. Currently, Bayern tops the table with 33 goals scored and only 4 conceded, establishing a five-point lead over second-placed RB Leipzig, who themselves have won seven of their past eight matches.

Leverkusen's sports director, Simon Rolfes, acknowledged the stark gulf in quality, stating frankly that no other Bundesliga team seems capable of mounting a challenge to Bayern's dominance this season. Bayern is now focusing on the Champions League, aiming to secure a top-eight finish to avoid playoff elimination, which would help preserve player fitness for challenging the later competition stages.

This overwhelming supremacy has led to a palpable resignation among Bundesliga teams regarding Bayern’s unmatched strength, effectively positioning them as the league’s undisputed powerhouse heading into the season’s second third.
