In the 1986/87 season, FC Bayern won their third consecutive title by a six-point margin. This was, after the 1972-74 period, Bayern's second championship hat-trick. The coach was once again Udo Lattek.
In total, this was Bayern's tenth German championship, making them sole record champions ahead of 1. FC Nuernberg.
Munich lost just a single match — the home game against Leverkusen, 0-3 — which was a record (equalled in the 2012/13 season with one defeat — again against Leverkusen).
