No other team has scored nine goals in the Champions League before Bayern. And after the 9:2 win against Zagreb, Munich will probably also be the first league leaders in the new league format.
No time? blue News summarizes for you
- Bayern Munich sweep Dinamo Zagreb out of the Allianz Arena with 9:2. Never before has a team scored nine goals in the Champions League.
- However, Harry Kane's four goals are not a record. No fewer than three players have managed to score five times in a Champions League match.
- The record for the most goals in a match was not quite broken either. That record belongs to another German football club.
What a start. Bayern got off to a flying start in Europe at their own stadium, where they are determined to play in the Champions League final on May 31, 2025. The 9:2 win against Dinamo Zagreb is a remarkable scent mark. The Munich team set a record in the process and broke other records.
9 goals scored in one game
Nine goals in one game - no other team in Europe's top flight has scored so many before the German record champions. It is also FC Bayern's highest victory in 295 Champions League matches. Only two teams have won more, Real Madrid and Liverpool FC, both with 8-0 victories.

Kompany's "exceptional" debut
Things are going well for new coach Vincent Kompany in Munich. Three wins in the Bundesliga, one in the DFB Cup - and now a successful premier league debut as coach. "That was a nice evening for us, it was fun," said the 38-year-old Belgian after a match he called "a bit extraordinary". 3:0, 3:2, 9:2 in the end - what a show!
"The team showed great spirit," said the delighted coach, who loves an attacking spectacle and wants to thrill the crowd with fast-paced pressing football. After their nine-goal gala, Bayern will probably also be the first league leaders in the new league system. But Kompany is not so concerned about that: "We've only played one game."
