Van Buyten has had a highly successful first season at the Bavarian club, forming a formidable Centre-Back partnership with Brazilian Lucio. Van Buyten scored his first goal for Bayern Munich against Energie Cottbus on 9 December 2006. Bayern ran out 2-1 winners and it was Van Buyten's goal which secured the win. Van Buyten then scored his second goal for the club in the loss to Borussia Dortmund. However, Van Buyten's most valuable contribution came against AC Milan on 3 April 2007, in the first-leg of the Champions League quarter-final.
