Bayern Munich's 2025/26 season has been marked by significant achievements, with the club's president, Herbert Hainer, expressing pride in their performance despite facing defeats against top-tier teams. The Bavarians secured a domestic double for the first time since 2020, set a new record for goals scored in the league, and suffered only three losses throughout the season.

Strong Season Highlights

The losses for Bayern came against Arsenal FC and Paris Saint Germain in the UEFA Champions League, as well as a surprising defeat to FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga. While the loss to Augsburg was disappointing, the defeats to Arsenal and PSG are seen as indicative of the high level of competition, as both clubs reached the finals of the Champions League in 2026.

President's Reflections

Herbert Hainer reflected on the season, stating, “At FC Bayern, we always aim to win every possible title. Winning the Champions League is, of course, extremely difficult.” He emphasized the quality of Bayern's performance, noting that they only lost two matches in the Champions League to the eventual finalists. Hainer highlighted the thrilling nature of the first leg against PSG, describing it as one of the best matches in recent decades.

Looking ahead, Bayern Munich aims to build on this season's success and hopes to overcome the challenges posed by elite teams in the future.
