Bayern Munich smashes Wolfsburg: 8-1 in a league tragedy!

Today, January 14, 2026, FC Bayern Munich celebrated a true celebration of football. In the home game against VfL Wolfsburg, Munich won impressively 8-1 after being 2-1 down at half-time. However, this game, which was perceived as disappointing by the Wolfsburg players and managers, also raises questions about the general attractiveness of the Bundesliga. Loud World Bayern were unstoppable and with this clear victory they show that they are well on their way to the championship.

Bayern have now moved 11 points clear of Borussia Dortmund and could possibly even win their earliest championship title since the 2013/2014 season. The dominance of the record champions is obvious. They have already had several impressive wins so far this season, including a 6-0 against RB Leipzig and a 5-0 against Hamburger SV. Such results paint a picture of superiority that raises both joy among fans and concerns about the league's competitiveness.

Wolfsburg between worries and hope

The Wolfsburg fans have reason to be dissatisfied, especially since the team, with a budget of around 240 million euros and a considerable market value, cannot deliver the performance they had hoped for. After the poor performance, the club apologized to its supporters. The new coach Daniel Bauer, who has only recently been responsible for Paul Simonis on the sidelines, also faces the challenge of turning things around. The team has only scored 15 points so far and is therefore only narrowly ahead of the relegation place, which St. Pauli is threatening with just three points behind.

Wolfsburg's recent form shows a picture of uncertainty: in the last five games there have been only two wins, two defeats and one draw. The team will also be without key players, including Mohammed Amoura, who is unavailable due to the African Nations Championship (AFCON), and Jonas Wind, who underwent thigh surgery. These departures could put additional strain on the defensive plan against Bayern.

Bayern's strong performance

FC Bayern Munich not only started the new year strongly, but also ended the old year with a 4-0 win against FC Heidenheim and a friendly 5-0 win against RB Salzburg. This form is also reflected in the statistics: with 55 goals scored and only 11 conceded after 15 games, the team has the best record in Bundesliga history.

With a flawless home record against Wolfsburg so far - 26 wins and only two draws at the Allianz Arena - the Munich team once again made it clear why they are considered favorites. Even though star player Joshua Kimmich is missing due to an ankle injury and possibly Manuel Neuer due to a muscle injury, Bayern are showing that they can manage to clearly leave the competition behind even in such situations.

Another highlight was the 50th Bundesliga game for coach Vincent Kompany and Michael Olise. Such milestones underline the club's long-term aspirations and the confidence in the squad to continue to play a decisive role in the future.

All in all, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop for Wolfsburg and whether Bayern Munich will continue to hold the reins in the Bundesliga. One thing is certain: the pressure on the other teams is growing and the gap between FC Bayern and the rest will be difficult to bridge.
