For a long time in the history of the Bundesliga, there was only one team that scored by far the most goals in a season. However, the championship team of FC Bayern Munich scratched this record in the 2012/13 season, but narrowly missed it.

FC Bayern Munich scored the most goals

Even if the expired Football-Season 2012/13 was a record year for FC Bayern Munich, in which they had not only scored 98 goals and only conceded 18 goals (record) had to accept, but also many other records such as the most points in a season or the most away wins could.

  • However, the 98 goals were only enough to occupy second place in the all-time list with the most goals scored in a season. This displaced Hamburger SV from the championship year 1981/82 and their own team from 1973/74, which each scored 95 goals.
  • The record, however, comes from the 1971/72 season. On the last day of the match they had 96 goals and had to play at home against FC Schalke, who were in second place and would have displaced Bayern from first place with a win.
  • However, the team delivered around players like Sepp Maier, Franz Beckenbauer, Paul Breitner, Uli Hoeneß and Gerd Müller, under the leadership of the legendary coach Udo Lattek, delivered a true masterpiece and defeated Schalke 5-1. Franz Beckenbauer's last goal was thus Bayern's 101 goal this season, which is unique as no other team has made it over the 100.

Which records the team still set

In addition to the most goals in a season, the team from 1971/72 was able to set two more records, which have remained unmatched for a long time

As you have probably noticed, FC Bayern Munich was able to ...

  • For one thing, Gerd Müller alone scored 40 goals this season, which further consolidated his status as the "bomber of the nation". In his entire career, Müller was able to score a total of 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga games for FC Bayern. For the German national team, he scored 68 goals in just 62 games.
  • On the other hand, the team was able to achieve 55 points. If you convert this result to the 3-point rule (at that time there were only 2 points per victory), you get 79 points. This result was the record for exactly 40 years, until Borussia Dortmund scored 81 points in 2011/12. Just one year later, Bayern even managed 91 points.
