31
This number represents the number of goals that Bayern has conceded in league play. They are the only club to average giving up less than a goal a match.
Goalkeeper Manual Neuer maintained his world-elite status by leading the top division in clean sheets (14) and also had the third-best save percentage (73.8%).
Neuer’s defense did their job protecting him by allowing the second-fewest number of shots on target.
86%
Nico Kovac lost his job and title as Germany’s most handsome manager when he was given a pink slip and a box on November 3rd after Die Bayern were drilled 5-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt. The club had just five wins in their first ten matches.
Kovac was replaced by not a huge international name, but by a big German name in the form of Hansi Flick, a former national team assistant.
The experienced interim manager earned to have his name stenciled on the door. He changed the atmosphere in the dressing room and opened play on the pitch.
The result? A winning percentage of 86% in 21 league matches.
However, the club’s success lies in the numbers that are below the surface.
