Six standout games from Bayern's brilliant season

August 27 2013 - Freiburg 1 Bayern 1 - The champions drop their first points

Freiburg are currently battling to avoid relegation from the Bundesliga, yet Christian Streich's men are one of only two teams to have taken points off Bayern this season.

Xherdan Shaqiri's first-half strike looked set to earn three points for the visitors to Mage Solar Stadion, but Nicolas Hofler popped up with four minutes remaining to earn Freiburg a shock point.

Goalkeeper Bernd Leno played a starring role for Leverkusen, making several saves after Sidney Sam had cancelled out Toni Kroos' opener.

Bayern opened up a seven-point lead over last season's runners-up with an ultimately emphatic triumph at Signal Iduna Park.

December 7 2013 - Werder Bremen 0 Bayern 7 - Pep Guardiola's side hit top gear

Assani Lukimya's own goal opened the floodgates at Weserstadion and five visiting players - Daniel Van Buyten, Franck Ribery (2), Mario Mandzukic, Muller and Gotze - were on target thereafter in a performance that highlighted Bayern's status as the Bundesliga's dominant force.

Bayern's winning run currently stands at 19 league games, but looked unlikely to reach double figures towards the end of January.

With 15 minutes of a midweek fixture at Stuttgart remaining, Guardiola's side trailed to a first-half goal from Vedad Ibisevic.

Poor Schalke headed to the Allianz Arena off the back of a 6-1 humbling against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League ... and things would get no better for Jens Keller's men in Bavaria.
