25 March - Bayern Munich have clinched the earliest league title in Bundesliga history. They took until 6 April to do it last year - the previous record.

27 - Bayern's 27-game unbeaten run to start a Bundesliga season is also a record. Bayer Leverkusen's 24 at the start of 2009-10 was the old landmark. If they see the season out unbeaten, they will break AC Milan's record of 58 games (1991 to 1993) for Europe's top-five leagues.

27 - Bayern manager Pep Guardiola, appointed in the summer, has not lost in his first 27 matches in the Bundesliga. Kaiserslautern's Karl-Heinz Feldkamp (1978-79) had the old record with 14.

52 - Bayern Munich have not lost in 52 Bundesliga matches, a run going back to October 2012. Hamburg had the old record of 36 games unbeaten in 1982 and 1983.

77 - Bayern are on 77 points. The record for a Bundesliga season is 91 (set by Bayern last year). They can finish on 98 if they win their remaining seven games.

79 - Bayern have scored 79 goals in the league this season. They need another 23 to set a new goal-scoring record in the Bundesliga. Their 101-goal haul in 1971-72 is still the record.

Games that shaped Bayern's season:

19 October 2013: Bayern 4-1 Mainz Having been held at Bayer Leverkusen the previous league game, Pep Guardiola's side came roaring back to crush Mainz. Little did their title rivals know at the time that this would be the start of a 19-match winning run that would catapult them to the title.

Bayern Munich could end Pep Guardiola's first season in charge with five trophies

2 November 2013: Hoffenheim 1-2 Bayern: Bayern arrived at the Rhein-Neckar Arena trailing leaders Borussia Dortmund by two points in the table. They came from behind to win 2-1 to go one point clear. Bayern have stayed top ever since.

29 January 2014: Stuttgart 1-2 Bayern: It looked like two points dropped for Bayern as they entered stoppage time with the score 1-1. But Thiago Alcantara's last-gasp goal made it 10 straight league wins for the leaders.

They said what?

"There's never a good time to play this Bayern Munich team because - and I remember thinking this last year - they are truly a team without a weakness." - Former Benfica and Newcastle manager Graeme Souness.

"Pep Guardiola is another thing entirely; living football becomes contagious." - Barcelona's ex-Liverpool player Javier Mascherano.

"Joining Bayern was the best decision of my life. I'm certain this team can enjoy a lot more fun and success in the years to come." - Bayern's Brazilian defender Dante.

"It's still a bit cold outdoors in March, but everyone can see we're on fire and determined to win every match," Bayern's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
