Six games. Six wins. Bayern Munich are unstoppable at the moment.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich: Match report
Bayern made a dream start to the match when Luis Diaz scored inside 15 seconds to give the visitors an early lead.
Harry Kane flicked on a long ball from Manuel Neuer, which fell straight to Serge Gnabry, who beat a defender and squared it to Diaz for an easy tap-in.
Michael Olise won the ball in the box and tried to square it to Kane. Frankfurt captain Robin Kock attempted to intercept it, and it ended up deflecting the ball up and onto the crossbar.
Jean-Matteo Bahoya curled the ball into the top corner to make it 1-1, but a video replay showed that Ritsu Doan had controlled the ball with his arm in the buildup.
In the 27th minute, Harry Kane gave Bayern a 2-0 lead, after his initial goal was disallowed, with a fantastic driven shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
The England striker has been enjoying the form of his life and has scored his 11th goal in the Bundesliga this season. He has now scored in his last four games in the competition.
Serge Gnabry, who already provided an assist, came close to adding another goal, but his shot fizzes just over.
In the second goal, Gnabry found himself in a good shooting position after Koch failed to clear the ball properly, but he was unable to keep it on target.
Moments later, Kane smashed it against the post. He was in the right place at the right time when a loose ball following a corner fell right to him, and he was unfortunate to have failed to convert it from close range.
Joshua Kimmich unleashed a shot which was blocked on the edge of the area.
Bayern produced a classic counter-attack to make it 3-0. Raphael Guerreiro drove forward before passing to Diaz, who turned his man and then hammered to score at the near post.
Here at CF Bayern Insider, we have rated the players out of 10.
Bayern Munich player ratings
Manuel Neuer (8) – Quite surprisingly, Frankfurt did not create enough clear-cut opportunities, but Neuer was required to make one smart save, and he did effortlessly.
Konrad Laimer (7) – He has been the unsung hero for Bayern and was outstanding last month. He made some brilliant tackles and always looked dangerous every time he overlapped.
Dayot Upamecano (6) – Apart from one mistake early on, the Frenchman was solid at the back and made a few good clearances.
Jonathan Tah (6) – Tah returned to the side in place of Kim Min-jae, and produced a solid performance alongside Upamecano.
Sacha Boey (5) – A very ordinary performance from the Bayern right-back, as he failed to create link-up play with Olise.
Joshua Kimmich (7) – A terrific performance in the middle of the park. His energy was infectious, and could have had a goal to his name.
Leon Goretzka (4) – Sooner or later, Kompany needs to address this issue – Goretzka has been consistently underperforming compared to other midfielders who deserve more opportunities. It was another dull performance from him today.
Michael Olise (7) – The Frenchman was kept relatively quiet tonight, but he showed flashes of brilliance yet again.
Serge Gnabry (8) – He has been a player reborn this season under Kompany. He grabbed an assist tonight and should have scored a goal.
Luis Diaz (9) – The Colombian has been sensational tonight and scored twice to remind everyone that Bayern were right to pay a massive sum for him.
Harry Kane (9) – Kane scored yet again, but it was his all-around link-up play that should be discussed more often.
