Bayern Munich's title journey in numbers

CHENNAI:

Bayern Munich

ended their Bundesliga season with yet another win over Wolfsburg on Saturday. While the German champions have looked unstoppable since Hansi Flick's appointment as the coach last November, they have also notched up quite a few records en route to achieving glory.


Here's a look at Bayern's title in numbers:

3: Robert Lewandowski claimed his third successive Torjagerkanone (top-scorer award) after finishing the season on 34 goals. He is the first player since all-time leading Bundesliga marksman Gerd Mueller to claim three top scorer's prizes in a row.

4: The number of points by which Bayern trailed then leaders Borussia Monchengladbach at the time of Flick's appointment as interim coach, following

Niko Kovac

's dismissal on 3 November 2019.

8: Bayern's unprecedented era of domestic dominance: eight back-to-back Bundesliga title wins.

9: Bayern won all nine of their matches after the Covid 19-enforced break. They were the only team to do so.

11: Lewandowski became the first Bundesliga player to score in 11 straight games to start a season.

13: Unlucky for some but not Bayern, who won 13 on the spin after being held to a goalless draw by title rivals RB Leipzig on Matchday 21.

13: The number of points between champions Bayern and second-placed Borussia Dortmund in the final standings.

15: Still the world's finest sweeper-keeper, Manuel Neuer kept a Bundesliga-best 15 clean sheets in 2019-20.

18: Lewandowski made it a full house with his brace against Fortuna Dusseldorf earlier this season. It means that the striker has now scored against all 18 of the 2019-20 Bundesliga clubs, including Bayern!

21: A new single-season best for assists set by

Thomas Mueller

. Kevin de Bruyne was the previous record holder, having chalked up 19 assists in 2014-15 with Wolfsburg.

29: The number of Bundesliga titles Bayern have won since claiming their first in 1968/69.
