93

The German champions have scored 93 goals in league play in 32 games. They have knocked in 2.91 goals each match. Their goal count is, by far, the highest in the league. Last season, Die Roten notched 88 goals in 34 matches, averaging 2.59 for each encounter.

Lewandowski has dominated the golden boot race with 31 goals, five more than the next competitor, Timo Werner. Serge Gnabry added 12 of his own along with ten assists.

Thomas Müller has completed his change over from grinding striker to grinding play-maker by adding a career-high 20 assists.

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.
