Bayern Munich's record 67-game run as Bundesliga leaders is over after a frustrating 0-0 draw at Schalke on Saturday, a result that ended two significant streaks at once. The reigning champions also failed to score in a Bundesliga match for the first time since February 2025, leaving them fourth in the table with four points from two games.

Vincent Kompany made the decision to rest Harry Kane and Michael Olise from the start, rotating both players through an English week that had already included the DFB-Pokal win at Osnabrück. The Bayern head coach was clear about his reasoning, telling Sky he needed to manage the load of players who had returned quickly from their summer breaks. Both came off the bench but could not beat a well-organised Schalke side, with Loris Karius producing a strong display in goal.

Jamal Musiala's return was the one positive to take from the evening. The Germany international, who had missed the opening three competitive matches after collapsing twice in pre-season due to a neurological condition linked to a medication change, came on as a substitute and showed no ill effects. Kompany had confirmed before the game that further episodes could not be ruled out entirely, but said the club no longer treats the situation as a major alarm.

Off the pitch, Sacha Boey remains at the club after a move failed to materialise before the transfer window closed, while Aleksandar Pavlovic stayed despite reported interest from Manchester City worth 100 million euros. Bayern now turn their attention to the Champions League, hosting Bodø/Glimt at the Allianz Arena on Thursday.
