Bayern Munich have been brutally dominant in the Bundesliga over the last decade, having won it 10 times consecutively. They are on course to make it to 11 as they currently sit at the top of the table with 49 points.
With second-placed Borussia Dortmund six points behind them, they certainly have quite some catching to do. It would be an interesting title race if Bayern drop points and Dortmund go on a long winless run.
Bayern Munich have great squad depth
Bayern Munich have amazing players at their disposal and can even rely on their bench to do business on the pitch. The Bavarian club has conceded just 19 goals this season, the best in the league.
With 65 goals scored so far, Bayern have had some massive contributions from different players. Without further ado, let's look at their best players so far this season, who have made at least 10 appearances.
Note: All stats are as per WhoScored
#5 Serge Gnabry (7.4)
Many fans wrote Serge Gnabry off when he failed to make it big at Arsenal. His career took a massive jump when he moved to the Bundesliga in 2016 and played for Werder Bremen.
With a fine performance at the club, Gnabry earned a move to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2017 but was loaned out to Hoffenheim.
He returned to Bayern the following season and has been with them ever since and has been quite deadly on the wings. Over time, his goal-scoring abilities have only got better, which has turned out to be quite useful for Bayern. He has scored 59 goals and made 37 assists in 153 appearances for the club in all competitions so far.
In the 2021-22 season so far, Gnabry has scored 10 goals in just 20 league appearances playing on the wings. The 26-year-old is learning well from his teammates and is turning into one of the best wingers in the Bundesliga.
#4 Leroy Sane (7.56)
Speaking of top-quality wingers, it is difficult to keep Leroy Sane out of the conversation. The former Manchester City winger joined Bayern Munich in 2020 and is now slowly becoming an important player for them.
Sane has got amazing dribbling ability, immense pace and superb creativity at his disposal. Using that, he has been very productive for the Bavarian club this season. With six goals and seven assists so far in 19 league appearances, the German forward is looking quite sharp in the attack.
The 26-year-old is bound to only get better with more game-time as his wing-play remains a vital part of Bayern's game plan. Sane will be of great help this season in Europe with the immense talent he possesses.
#3 Thomas Muller (7.62)
Bayern Munich have had an amazing servant in the form of Thomas Muller as he is currently in his 14th season with the club. His contributions in attack throughout his career have been invaluable for the German club.
Thomas Muller has had an amazing 2021-22 season so far, scoring six goals and registering 18 assists in 20 appearances in the Bundesliga. No player in the league has to match his tally when it comes to the assists made, as has been the case for the last two seasons.
He has made the most number of passes (46) into the penalty area in the league so far. Muller has also made the highest number of key passes (58) in the Bundesliga. He continues to be a vital cog in the Bayern Munich team.
#2 Joshua Kimmich (7.68)
Despite suffering from Covid this season, Joshua Kimmich has managed to be of help to Bayern Munich. The German remains one of the best and most underrated defensive midfielders in the world right now.
With his passing abilities, technical reading of the game and positional sense, not many can perform as well as Kimmich can in midfield. In just 14 league appearances this season, he has scored thrice and registered six assists playing from deep midfield.
Much of Bayern's game revolves around Kimmich, with the German able to contribute both in attack and defense. The 26-year-old has made the most number of progressive passes (135) and the second-most passes into the final third (113) this season.
His performances will be key for the Bavarian club for the remainder of the season.
#1 Robert Lewandowski (8.16)
Words do not suffice about how wonderful Robert Lewandowski has been in front of goal for the past few years. No player has assured more goals than the Polish striker has with Bayern Munich.
The former Borussia Dortmund forward scored 41 Bundesliga goals last season and has continued in the same form this season. Robert Lewandowski has already scored 23 goals in just 20 league appearances so far in Bundesliga.
No player in Europe has been able to match his tally this season. It looks like Lewandowski is definitely one of the strongest contenders for the 2022 Ballon d'Or. Hopefully this time around, his performances will help Bayern Munich win the UEFA Champions League this campaign.
