Bayern Munich could be forgiven for easing up a bit after breaking the record for the most goals scored in a single season in the German Bundesliga, in order to save some energy for their major mission in the Champions League against Real Madrid. However, the team led by manager Vincent Kompany simply doesn't work that way. Leon Goretzka scored the team's 102nd league goal in the 53rd minute, giving his side a 2-0 lead over modest Saint Pauli after Jamal Musiala's opening goal. But the match didn't stop there, ending 5-0, with Mikael Olise, Nicolas Jackson, and Rafael Guerrero also finding the net. This brought Bayern's total for the current season to 105 goals. With five rounds left, the final tally could rise significantly, even if Bayern secures its 35th Bundesliga title next Sunday, which requires just one point against Stuttgart, regardless of what Borussia Dortmund achieves against Hoffenheim. Bayern's honorary president, Uli Hoeness, expressed great admiration, saying that what he admires most is that these players don't stop; they keep going even after the fourth or fifth goal. He affirmed that this is how records are broken, and more importantly, it's what makes fans happy match after match. Meanwhile, manager Vincent Kompany said that what he generally likes is that the team embodies goals, which is the essence of Bayern Munich and our current team. He added that players should be proud of this and must continue on the same path. Kompany managed to rest players like Harry Kane in preparation for the big match on Wednesday against Real Madrid, the record holder for most European titles with 15 championships. Bayern is aiming to complete its mission in the quarter-finals after a 2-1 away win in Spain and keep its hopes alive for a treble of the league, cup, and Champions League. The record for most goals in a season (101 goals) stood for 54 years since the 1971-1972 season, a record set by a generation that included Gerd Muller, Uli Hoeness, who scored the 100th goal, and Franz Beckenbauer, who scored the last one.
