Bayern Munich began their 2026/27 Champions League campaign in emphatic fashion, cruising to a 5-0 victory over Bodø/Glimt at the Allianz Arena. After a frustrating goalless first half, Jamal Musiala finally broke the deadlock just 76 seconds after the restart, before Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies and Michael Olise's late brace completed a dominant victory.
The result extended Bayern's extraordinary record of winning their opening Champions League match, with the German giants now having started 23 consecutive campaigns with a victory. But the night was about more than three points, as Bayern also entered an exclusive European club.
Bayern Munich Reach 900 European Cup Goals
Musiala's opener against Bodø/Glimt was particularly significant. It was Bayern Munich's 900th goal in European Cup and Champions League history, making them just the second club ever to reach the milestone after Real Madrid
Bayern entered the match with 899 goals in the competition's history, knowing they needed just one more to reach the landmark. Musiala duly delivered, writing his name into the club's European history with the opening goal of the 5-0 triumph.
Real Madrid remain comfortably ahead on the all-time list, but Bayern's achievement underlines their remarkable consistency at Europe's highest level. The Bavarians have been a constant presence in the European Cup and Champions League for decades, and becoming only the second team to reach 900 goals is another reminder of their continental pedigree.
Bayern's Allianz Arena Fortress Continues
There was another major record to celebrate on the night.
Following the victory over Bodø/Glimt, Bayern are now unbeaten in each of their last 39 home games in the group stages or league phase of the Champions League.
The extraordinary run now stands at:
- 37 wins
- 2 draws
- 0 defeats
The record has now stood for 13 years, with Bayern's last home group-stage or league-phase defeat coming against Manchester City in December 2013.
That makes the Allianz Arena one of the most formidable venues in European football. Bayern have consistently turned home Champions League nights into occasions where opponents struggle to survive, and Bodø/Glimt became the latest side to experience that reality.
Another Chapter in Bayern's European History
The 5-0 victory therefore delivered far more than a perfect start to Bayern's Champions League campaign. The club reached 900 European Cup/Champions League goals & also extended their remarkable home unbeaten streak.
With Vincent Kompany's side chasing another deep Champions League run, Bayern's latest landmarks show that their European legacy is still being written.
