Facts and Stats from Bayern Munich vs St.Pauli

1 - Mario Gomez’ hat-trick against St Pauli means he has completed a Bundesliga set. After netting against the Hamburg minnows for the first time, he now has at least one goal against every Bundesliga club he has ever faced.

3 - Bayern have increased their dominance of the Bundesliga’s scorer point (goals plus assists) ratings. The top three spots are now held by Mario Gomez (32 points), Thomas Müller (25) and Franck Ribéry (24).

5 - Gomez has scored five league hat-tricks this term. Should he do it again against Stuttgart next weekend, he would equal the league record of six triple strikes in a season, set by Gerd Müller in 1971/72.

8 - Bayern have never before scored eight away from home in the Bundesliga, and Saturday’s result is the club’s biggest ever away win in the German top flight, beating a 7-1 triumph away to Mönchengladbach on 24 March 1979.




21 - Arjen Robben scored twice and set up three more against Pauli, moving to 21 scorer points in just 13 matches. The Dutchman, who missed the whole of the first half of the campaign with injury, is far and away the most dangerous player in the league since the halfway mark.

18 - Bayern have scored at least once in their last 18 league matches, the longest streak in the top flight.

27 - Mario Gomez now has 27 goals for the season, a new personal best. In the league ranking, he is five clear of Freiburg hitman Papiss Demba Cissé (22) with just one game left. In the 48-year history of the Bundesliga, Gomez is only the 13th man to score 27 goals or more in a season.

31 - Franck Ribéry’s brace at the Millerntor means he has 31 Bundesliga goals in total, level with Johan Micoud as the highest-scoring Frenchman in Bundesliga history.

48 - Bayern are the top scorers in the second half of the Bundesliga season with 48 goals from 16 matches to date.

100 - Yet more congratulations to Mario Gomez! His hat-trick against Pauli means he has a century of Bundesliga goals from just 181 appearances.

108 - Philipp Lahm started his 108th consecutive match on Saturday. In all that time, he has only been substituted once, in a DFB Cup meeting with Oberhausen in September 2009. Lahm is also the club’s only ever-present this term.

150 - Bayern’s last 150 home and away Bundesliga fixtures have been officially classified as sold out, a unique record in the history of the modern German top flight. The last FCB match played in front of less than a full house was a midweek goalless draw with Bochum in January 2007, where the Allianz Arena crowd was ‘only’ 64,000.
