This cursed goal: Goretzka's goal fell on the left side of the stadium Rajko Mitic, the Marakana of Belgrade. He met the goal over which ex-Bayern president Uli Hoeneß in the penalty shootout of the European Championship final in 1976 had his penalty in the famous since that evening "night sky of Belgrade" hunted. From club view even worse: In 1991, goalkeeper Raimond Aumann had in the semi-final second leg of the national champion Cups in the last minute, the ball in his own network spliced. The Bayern were out, Red Star won the trophy. A trauma for older Bayern fans, equivalent to the 1: 2 defeat in the Champions League final in 1999 against Manchester United.

The first half: If the soccer phrase "one-way street football" once had its authority, then in those 45 minutes. 14: 0 goal shots for the Munich were, the best opportunities awarded Lewandowski (12th minute and 28th), Goretzka (7th, 16th), Kingsley Coman (12th) and Coutinho (14th). It was especially in the first 30 minutes of an impressive appearance of Bayern, who left the hosts no breath to breath, let alone to counterattack.

The second half: Belgrade began a search, Munich scored: In the 52nd minute, there were hand penalty for the guests, Lewandowski turned into the right corner. 15 minutes later Lewandowski had brought a four-pack on the scoreboard - the 3-0 fell in the 60th, the 4-0 in the 64th, the 5-0 in the 67th minute. Corentin Tolisso struck the crossbar in the 84th minute and in the 89th minute to 6-0.

Unbreakable: Lewandowski now has 63 matches in the Champions League, scoring 27 goals in 20 competitive games this season. Since Serge Gnabry had scored four times in 7-2 in Tottenham, the Munich are the first club, which has recorded in a Champions League season equal to two four-goal scorers.

The Flick train continues to pick up speed: Fourth match, fourth victory, 16: 0 goals, starting record for a Bayern coach - Hansi Flick collects victories and thus arguments for a longer-term employment. Thiago he let it ran for the first time in the starting eleven. The detained so far thanked it with an energetic appearance, many won duels and fine feeds. Joshua Kimmich saw for the first time since the Champions League in March against Liverpool initially, David Alaba was due to upcoming father joys right at home. Both were not physically missed, as Flick seems to have taught his counterpress in a 4-1-4-1 system.

Marko Marin is in demand: In Belgrade, the former German international has found his sporting fortune. He is a captain, carries the back number ten and plays as big as in his best times. He did not see any country against Bayern like his team-mates. He does not have to grieve, he is in questions at eye level - in the 3-1 against Piraeus he had two hits. For the Greeks Belgrade now denies its final for third place and the Europa League.

Screening with goal: On the last group match day, the Munich-based José Mourinho's new club Tottenham Hotspur (11 December, 20:45, live ticker: SPIEGEL ONLINE). Regardless of the result, Bayern are the first and the Spurs second in the knockout phase. However, there is still one goal for Flick's team: to be the only team to end the group stage without a loss.
