If you’ll forgive the counter-intuitive introduction, one of the most interesting aspects of several of Bayern Munich’s victories under Hansi Flick is the number of goals they have conceded.

Bayern have won 8-2, 5-2, 4-3 and 4-2 (twice). The last time they conceded more than 32 league goals (this season’s total) was 2011, when they finished third.
