Bayern München paid their annual visit to Oktoberfest on Sunday, and Harry Kane and Co. were decked out in traditional Bavarian clothing. It came straight after Bayern signed off for the first international break of the 2026-27 season with a 7-0 victory over Union Berlin. That is a neat backdrop for a side that has started fast and kept winning.
Bayern's run before the break
Bundesliga.com reported that Bayern remain unbeaten this season, with six wins from seven competitive matches. They sit second in the Bundesliga, two points behind Borussia Dortmund, so the Oktoberfest outing is arriving with the team still in touch at the top rather than trying to repair a shaky start.
The Union Berlin result was the cleanest sign of where Bayern stand right now. Seven goals in one match is a heavy scoreline by any measure, and it fits with the broader run that has them heading into the break without a defeat. Vincent Kompany has them in a strong position before club football resumes.
Kane's early output
Kane's start has been part of that. He has six goals in seven competitive matches this season, including two Bundesliga goals in three league appearances. That is not a full-season judgment, but it is already enough to explain why Bayern's attack has looked so sharp in the opening weeks.
The Oktoberfest trip also gave summer arrivals Nathaniel Brown and Ismael Saibari their first taste of the tradition. Bayern do this every year, but it tends to land differently when the team arrives after a 7-0 win and with the league table still keeping them within two points of Borussia Dortmund.
