After two years without a title, FC Bayern dominated the Bundesliga once more. On the very first matchday, they took the lead with a 3-0 against promoted Greuther Fuerth and kept it until the end of the season.
Eight wins to start the season set a new record; on matchday nine came the sole league defeat, at home to Leverkusen (1-2). Otherwise, they dropped points only twice against Borussia Dortmund and once each against 1. FC Nuernberg and Borussia Moenchengladbach.
The 91 points remain a Bundesliga record.
