The six-time European Cup winners came close to winning the sextuple in 2013, winning all trophies that calendar year except the German Super Cup after being defeated by Dortmund.
Lewandowksi may take all the credit for Bayern’s triumphs, but boss Hansi Flick has turned the club into a European powerhouse after taking charge in November 2019.
He took the reigns at the Allianz Arena when the club were in fourth place as they flattered to deceive under Niko Kovac.
Since his appointment, Flick has lost just four games out of 68 matches – winning an incredible 58 of them.
