In only his second European start of the season, Leon Goretzka's first ever Champions League goal gave Bayern Munich the lead inside 14 minutes of their Matchday 5 game at Crvena Zvezda. It was a composed finish from Goretzka who leaped highest to meet a Philippe Coutinho delivery from the right, and head the ball to the far post past a beaten Crvena keeper.

By the end of the game though, the German midfielder's effort was reduced to a footnote in the burgeoning canvas of the Lewandowski show.

#3 Hansi Flick has won his first 4 games in charge of Bayern Munich, without conceding a goal

Fast-tracked to oversee the first team in place of ousted coach Nico Kovac after Bayern suffered their worst Bundesliga defeat in 10 years (a 5-1 reverse in Frankfurt), Hansi Flick has now overseen his team win four out of four games, while scoring 16 goals and conceding none.

Bayern thumped Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the first Der Klassiker of the season, beat Olympiacos 2-0 at home in the Champions League, and won 4-0 at Dusseldorf before a thumping 6-0 win at Crvena Zvezda sealed top place in their Champions League group in some style.
