Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich is rewriting the record books. After a 3-1 win over FC Cologne, they've surpassed Pep Guardiola's 2013-14 Hinrunde points tally. With 66 goals scored, the club is on pace to smash its own single-season record from 1971-72. This relentless attack has made them the steamrollers of the Bundesliga.

Meanwhile, American midfielder Giovanni Reyna faces a challenging season at Borussia Mönchengladbach. He's started just four league games, watching from the bench during a recent 5-1 thrashing. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, he's fighting for minutes against younger talents like Wael Mohya. His career is at a critical juncture.

The Bavarians' biggest test comes Saturday at RB Leipzig, but they remain heavy favorites. Borussia Dortmund sits as the closest pursuer, but coach Niko Kovač admits they aren't yet ready to mount a serious title challenge. For Kompany, the mission is clear: keep the steamrollers rolling forward.
