"Bayern Munich's 8-1 win over VfL Wolfsburg made quite a few headlines for a number of reasons. Not only was it Wolfsburg's heaviest ever defeat, but it was also quite a significant result for Bayern as well. With the win, Bayern have now officially surpassed their goal difference for the entirety of the 2023/24 Bundesliga season. With 16 matchdays gone in the 2025/26 season, Bayern currently boast a goal difference of +51, with a whopping 63 goals scored and 12 conceded."
"Bayern still have a little way to go until they match their tally for last season, which was +67, but even that is a mere +16 goals away. Back then, Bayern's biggest wins were spread out over a series of five-goal wins, against Holstein Kiel, Werder Bremen, VfL Bochum, and TSG Hoffenheim. In the past two seasons, Bayern recorded 94 and 99 goals, respectively, so they need another 30 odd goals to reach that record."
Bayern's 8-1 victory over VfL Wolfsburg handed Wolfsburg their heaviest ever defeat and pushed Bayern's season metrics markedly higher. After 16 matchdays in 2025/26, Bayern hold a goal difference of +51 with 63 goals scored and 12 conceded. The 2023/24 season ended with a +49 goal difference (94 scored, 45 conceded), and the biggest win that season was 8-0 over SV Darmstadt 98. Bayern remain 16 goal-difference points shy of last season's +67 and need roughly 30 more goals to challenge recent tallies of 94 and 99. The Bundesliga single-season scoring record is 101 goals (Bayern, 1971/72), which could be threatened but requires measured management.
