Bayern’s high intensity, quick pressure and desire to maintain possession have been the key to their dominance under Flick.

Key Player: Robert Lewandowski
‘Lewangoalski’, with 15 goals, was the top scorer in the competition (he also signed 34 goals in the Bundesliga). The six assists of the Polish international are also noteworthy.
