About the Bayern Munich quiz
Bayern Munich are German football's great constant — the Rekordmeister, winners of a record 34 Bundesliga titles and six European Cups, a club whose 'Mia san mia' motto long ago hardened into an institutional attitude. This free Bayern Munich quiz spans the whole story, from the Franz Beckenbauer side that ruled Europe in the mid-1970s, through the FC Hollywood soap opera of the 1990s, to Vincent Kompany's current team, who swept the 2025-26 Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double. Founded in 1900, Bayern have spent the last half-century as Europe's most reliable winner. If you know your Säbener Strasse from your Allianz Arena, this is your category.
The legends do a lot of the asking. Gerd Müller, 'Der Bomber', whose 365 Bundesliga goals are still the league record; Sepp Maier and Beckenbauer, the spine of the team that won three straight European Cups in 1974, 1975 and 1976. Then the modern epics: Oliver Kahn's shoot-out heroics against Valencia in 2001, two years after the stoppage-time heartbreak against Manchester United at Camp Nou; Arjen Robben's 89th-minute winner against Dortmund at Wembley to seal the 2013 treble; Kingsley Coman heading past his boyhood club PSG to win the 2020 final in Lisbon, capping a campaign in which Hansi Flick's side won every competition they entered. And Robert Lewandowski's 41 goals in 2020-21, breaking a Müller record that had stood for half a century.
Expect questions on transfers — Harry Kane's 2023 move from Tottenham, the deal that turned into three straight top-scorer crowns and, at last, silverware; on records, like the 11 consecutive titles from 2013 to 2023 or the 122 league goals Kompany's side plundered in 2025-26; and on the managers, from Udo Lattek and Jupp Heynckes to Pep Guardiola, Flick and Kompany himself. The cult heroes get their due too: Stefan Effenberg, the Robben-and-Ribéry 'Robbery' wing pairing, Thomas Müller and his Raumdeuter self-description. Difficulty climbs from easy — which stadium has Bayern called home since 2005? — to genuinely hard deep cuts about specific finals, fees and seasons.
Every question comes with a short explained answer — not just 'wrong, the answer was 1974' but why that final against Atlético Madrid needed a replay — so even a miss leaves you knowing more. The quiz doubles as a history lesson in the club everyone in Germany measures themselves against. Play the sample set here for free, no sign-up needed.
