Hansi Flick was handed the reins of the first-team after erstwhile coach Nico Kovac faced the sack following Bayern's 5-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt, which marked the Bavarian side's heaviest Bundesliga defeat in a decade.

Bayern started life under their newest coach with a thumping 4-0 home win over Borussia Dortmund in the first Der Klassiker of the season, before winning 2-0 at Olympiacos which sealed Bayern's passage to the Round of 16.

Following the international break, Bayern won 4-0 at Dusseldorf despite Lewandowski failing to score for the first time in 12 Bundesliga games. They followed that up with a thumping 6-0 win at Crvena Zvezda in the Champions League as the Bavarian side won their group with a game to spare.

Bayern had beaten their Matchday 13 visitors, Bayer Leverkusen, in each of their five Bundesliga home games. But the script was flipped on the day as Die Werkself returned home with only their second league win at Bayern since 1989, and Bayern conceded their first goals and first loss in five games in the Hansi Flick era..
