Original title: Horror! Bayern 10 games 42 goals approaching the history of the first C Luo Bell record broken
Goal after goal, goal after goal, goal after goal! Bayern Munich has reached the final of this season's Champions League through a steady stream of goals. Throughout Bayern's road to the final, the southern star's powerful firepower definitely made all the European giants tremble with fear.
From a 3-0 thrashing of Red Star Belgrade in the first leg of the group stage to a 3-0 win over Lyon in the semifinals, Bayern scored an astonishing 42 goals and conceded only 8 in the 10 matches leading up to the final. Throughout the road to the final, there was also a 7-2 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur, a 6-0 win over Red Star, and an 8-2 bloodbath against Barcelona, among other big scores. It can be said that the firepower of Bayern can finally kill the Champions League final, absolutely deserved. One statistic that must be mentioned is that Bayern won the Triple Crown in the 2012-2013 season, when the team scored a team record 151 goals in all competitions throughout the season. This season, Bayern has already scored 158 goals with one Champions League final yet to be played, rewriting history and suggesting that the treble is beckoning for Bayern again?
Bayern's constant scoring stems from the good form of the stars on the attacking line. Top scorer Levine scored 15 goals to top this season's Champions League scoring charts, and as long as he continues to score in the final, he is likely to break Crowe's Champions League single-season record of 17 goals set in the 2013-2014 season. As a wingman, Gnabry also scored nine goals and is the top scorer in the Champions League. And together, the two have scored 24 goals, surpassing the record of 23 joint goals set by Crowe and Bale in the 2013-2014 season. Moreover, Levan and Gnabry have already scored more goals this season than any other team except Paris.
Even if Bayern don't score in the final, the 42 goals in a single season in the Champions League already ranks second in Champions League history. The most goals in a single season in Champions League history were scored by Barcelona in 1999-2000, while Real Madrid in 2013-2014 and Liverpool in 2017-2018 both scored 41 goals. Let's not forget that this season's Champions League tournament has been affected by an epidemic and has been converted into a single-leg knockout tournament from the quarter-finals onwards, which means that Bayern actually reached the 42-goal milestone with two fewer matches to play, which is not easy.
And, as mentioned above, Bayern have had no shortage of big scoring games in their run to the final. What's even more terrifying is that Bayern have scored at least 2 goals in every game, and have reached the mark for 10 consecutive games! This is also able to be among the all-time Champions League record. Previously, Real Madrid in the Champions League from September 2016 to May 2017, 11 consecutive games scored 2 goals or more; Sevilla also in October 2007 to October 2009, 10 consecutive games scored 2 goals or more; Real Madrid also in April 2013 to April 2014, 10 consecutive games to reach the target of 2 goals +. As long as Bayern continue their current momentum in the final, they will equal the record of 2 goals + in consecutive games set by Real Madrid in the 2016-2017 season.
