Kompany Matches Jupp Heynckes’ Historic Bayern Munich Record

Key Takeaways:

• Vincent Kompany recorded his ninth consecutive competitive win as Bayern Munich manager in the 5:1 triumph over Pafos
• Only Jupp Heynckes in the 2012/13 season previously started with nine straight official victories at Bayern
• The Bavarians’ head coach expressed the ambition to emulate Heynckes’ treble-winning campaign

Record-Breaking Start under Kompany

Vincent Kompany has entered rarefied air among Bayern Munich managers following the club’s emphatic 5:1 success against Cypriot opponents Pafos. This result marks the ninth consecutive official win since the start of the campaign, placing Kompany alongside the legendary Jupp Heynckes, who was the last Bayern boss to achieve such a feat.

CEO Dreesen Honours Manager’s Early Run

Club CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen highlighted the achievement during a team dinner after the match, stating: “Nine wins in nine matches, dear Vincent Kompany! The last one to achieve something like this was the legend Jupp Heynckes in the 2012/13 season. It has been some time,” as quoted by the club.

Targeting European and Domestic Silverware

Heynckes famously won the treble in the 2012/13 campaign, clinching the Champions League, Bundesliga, and German Cup. Kompany has set his sights on replicating that level of success, remarking: “I made it very clear even before the first match what our dream is, and it is to be there, at the final, and, if possible, to win it. Winning the Champions League is very difficult. But now we are in the thick of the competition and need to focus only on winning the next match.”

Squad’s Performances Draw Praise

Veteran Bayern player Joshua Kimmich underscored the squad’s level of commitment so far: “the results achieved so far have not been a coincidence.”
