Robert Lewandowski had 34 goals in 31 league appearances to overtook Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's (31 goals) single season foreign player scoring record, and thereby won his 5th Torjagerkanone awards - 2 behind Gerd Muller's record haul.

Thomas Muller's overall tally of 21 assists - is a new single season record which surpasses Kevin De Bruyne (20) for Wolfsburg in 2014/15 season.

Thomas Muller and David Alaba have both equal frank Ribery's 9 Bundesliga titles record.

Alphonso Davies' top speed of 36.51 km/h in the match against Werder Bremen is the fastest of any Bundesliga player since 2013/14.

Hans-Dieter Flick won 28 of his first 31 games which is the best start of any Bayern boss ever beating the previous record hels by Guardiola who won 22 out of 27 games.

The Bavarians will face Bayer Leverkusen in DFB Pokal Cup final this weekend.

Can Flick go ahead to emulate the legendary Jupp Heynckes who won the treble in 2012/13 season by winning the DFB Pokal Cup and Champions League this season ?
