Bayern Munich's Perfect Start: Chasing German Cup Glory

Bayern Munich's impressive 13-match winning streak across all competitions this season has set them up as formidable contenders, with coach Vincent Kompany urging the team to maintain their momentum into the crucial German Cup second round against Cologne on Wednesday.

This achievement equals the record for the best start to a campaign in Europe's big five leagues, a feat matched only by AC Milan in the 1992-93 season. "We've been executing our strategies effectively and must carry this into the next battle," Kompany stated, acknowledging Cologne's robust defensive play.

With a demanding schedule ahead, including a league fixture with Bayer Leverkusen and a high-profile Champions League clash against Paris St Germain, Bayern is focused on their knockout match. Christoph Freund, Bayern's sports director, emphasized the team's ambitious drive to reach the German Cup final in Berlin once again.
