After the 5-1 win against VfB Stuttgart, the record for the most consecutive days at the top of the table belongs to Bayern Munich, standing at 67 matchdays. Captain Manuel Neuer cheekily hoped that no other team won by the same margin so that the Bavarians can retain the top spot and cross the milestone.
Manuel Neuer made his 600th competitive appearance against Stuttgart
as his men took the victory in the season opener. When asked how he felt about reaching this milestone, Neuer responded with a simple “I don’t know.” Instead he shifted the focus to the team’s record of staying perched atop the table for the longest consecutive period.
Freiburg came dangerously close to scoring 5 goals in their opening 4-1 victory against Werder Bremen. Aside from the record, the Bavarians delivered an imposing performance that bodes a positive sign for domestic title hopes in Vincent Kompany’s third season. How the manager rotates his bolstered squad once Lennart Karl and Jamal Musiala return will be interesting to watch out for as that will be vital for the continental trophy ambitions.
