· Bundesliga-Official
The Bundesliga has made history with 172 goals scored across the opening five matchdays of 2026/27, while Germany’s top flight is also leading Europe’s top five leagues for goals per game.
If there's one thing the Bundesliga hasn't been short of so far this season, it is goals. The most recent matchday delivered another flurry, with plenty of drama, shocks and stunning individual displays to match.
Matchday 5 provided another 35 goals, with RB Leipzig's emphatic 6-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen's thrilling 4-3 win against Mainz among the standout results.
Such has been the volume of goals scored since the opening weekend of the season, that a long-standing record has - finally - been broken.
