Xabi Alonso, in charge since 2022, took the run to 51 games unbeaten across all official competitions, a European record for an unbeaten streak.

Home games are played at the BayArena, 30,210 seats for the Bundesliga and cut to 29,412 on European nights. Against Köln, in the Rhineland derby, there is no love lost.

In 1988 the club won the UEFA Cup, settled on penalties against Espanyol after the two legs finished level at 2-2. A German Supercup followed in 1993, beating Werder 3-2.

Rudi Völler holds the club's appearance record, 401 Bundesliga games. Ulf Kirsten scored more Bundesliga goals for the club than anyone else, 182 of them between 1990 and 2003. Michael Ballack, Zé Roberto and Dimitar Berbatov formed the spine of the side that came after, and Jupp Heynckes later brought the club back into title contention between 2009 and 2011, after Christoph Daum had steadied it through the late 1990s.
