During the match at Allianz Arena, Vincent Kompany's side played a whopping 988 passes as they came close to matching their record from 10 years back. In the last two decades, only once had the Bavarian club played more than 1000 passes during a Bundesliga clash - against Hertha Berlin under current Manchester City boss Guardiola's tutelage.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">988 – FC Bayern have played 988 passes in today's Bundesliga match against Heidenheim, the only time FCB played more passes in a Bundesliga match on record (since 2004-05) was in March 2014 under Pep Guardiola against Hertha BSC (1109).

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>In March 2014, during Guardiola's maiden season in charge of the German giants, the club played 1109 passes as they outclassed Hertha 3-1 courtesy of goals from Toni Kroos, Mario Gotze and Franck Ribery. Kompany, who spent three seasons playing under the legendary Spanish manager at City, is heavily influenced by his mentor and is trying to implement a similar possession-based style at Bayern.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Bundesliga giants remain unbeaten in the league and are now six points clear at the top of the table. Star striker Harry Kane missed Saturday's fixture due to an injury, but the England captain is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kane-boost-bayern-vincent-kompany-fitness-update/bltdce1450912e13856" target="_blank">inching closer towards a return to action</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Kompany's men will be back in action on Tuesday as they take on Shakhtar Donetsk in a crucial Champions League clash.</p>
