Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany believes breaking the Bundesliga record for most goals in a season is "simply part of our team".

The league leaders thrashed St. Pauli 5-0 on Saturday, courtesy of goals from Jamal Musiala, Leon Goretzka, Raphael Guerreiro, Michael Olise and Nicolas Jackson.

Bayern have scored 105 in this Bundesliga campaign, the highest tally ever recorded by a team in a single season, surpassing their own record of 101 in 1971-72.

The win also saw them move 12 points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the Bundesliga summit, with the league title now in sight for the Bavarian giants.

Goretzka scored the record-clinching goal for Bayern, and Kompany was not surprised that it was the midfielder who did so.

"I told the team as well: if anyone believes in his moment, it's Leon," he told reporters.

"The fact that he's now broken this record and taken it away from our strikers is somehow typical of him, because he always believes in himself.

"For me, he's a great role model for the boys. And I'm absolutely delighted because I was just talking yesterday about how we would break this record.

"It stood for so long – all the more reason to celebrate that we've finally broken it. What I generally like is that our team is known for scoring goals.

"That's simply part of Bayern and part of our team. I think the boys can be proud of that – but, of course, the work continues."

Musiala starred in the win, creating a joint-most three chances while also completing 100% of his dribbles (three out of three) to go along with his goal and assist.

It is the first time he has directly contributed to two goals in a single game since his return from injury.

"I felt very good. It was a good game," Musiala added. "I had better actions, and scored a goal. I'm happy with the performance.

"I'm taking every minute I can, every game does me a lot of good. It was a step forward, but there's still a way to go.

"My foot feels freer than a few weeks and months ago. I just need a bit more patience."
