The record will therefore stop at 16 consecutive victories. Never has a club from the five major European leagues started its season with such a series since AC Milan’s 13 consecutive victories in 1992. A crazy dynamic which came to an end this Saturday.
Facing Union Berlin on behalf of the 10e lifting of the Bundesliga, the Munich residents had to settle for a draw (2-2). A share of points snatched by Harry Kane in added time (90e+3) for a second Bavarian equalizer after that – exceptional – of Luis Diaz (38e) while Danilho Doekhi scored a double for the locals (27e83e).
Leipzig and Dortmund do not benefit from it
Four days after its convincing victory in Paris in the Champions League, Bayern suffered a setback. Without consequence since Leipzig, beaten by Hoffenheim at the same time (3-1), lost a point in the battle and found itself six lengths behind the implacable Munich leader.
Note that Borussia Dortmund, third in the ranking seven points from the top, was also unable to take advantage of this Bavarian setback, neutralized in Hamburg (1-1). Bayer Leverkusen, fourth, however, comes back to eight points after its defeat of the day in front of Heidenheim (6-0).
