Bayern Munich set a new Bundesliga scoring record with a 5-0 demolition of St Pauli, moving 12 points clear at the top with five games left. The Bavarian side’s 102nd league goal of the season surpassed the previous mark of 101 set by the club in 1971-72.
Jamal Musiala headed Bayern level with the record in the ninth minute, before Leon Goretzka and Michael Olise struck in quick succession after the break to establish a new benchmark. Nicolas Jackson and Raphaël Guerreiro completed the rout, with manager Vincent Kompany resting several players ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid.
The result leaves Bayern on 76 points, while second-placed Borussia Dortmund remain on 64 after a 1-0 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen. Robert Andrich’s first-half winner kept Leverkusen fifth, one point behind fourth-placed Stuttgart in the race for Champions League qualification.
Elsewhere in Europe, Barcelona strengthened their La Liga title charge with a 4-1 derby win over Espanyol, moving nine points clear of Real Madrid. In Italy, Milan’s Serie A hopes faded further after a 3-0 home loss to Udinese, while Juventus moved fourth with a 1-0 win at Atalanta.
