Bayern will end the group stage of the Champions League as Group B winners. In penultimate preliminary round duel sat down the football Bundesliga 6: 0 (1: 0) at Red Star Belgrade. Leon Goretzka scored in the fifth victory in the fifth game, the Munich goal (14th minute), it was his first Champions League goal ever.

Robert Lewandowski scored by hand penalty (53.), from short distance (60.), by header (64.) and after a nice play (67.) Four more goals, for him it was the goals seven, eight, nine and ten in the premier class - this season alone. The final score was provided by Corentin Tolisso (89.)

The Bayern had the knockout even before kick-off, and so did the temporary Bayern coach Hansi Flick in his fourth game for the first time major changes: Joshua Kimmich, Thomas Müller and Serge Gnabry remained at the beginning of the bench. That should not prove to be a disadvantage, especially Goretzka was conspicuous. In addition to his header to 1: 0 after preparatory work by Philippe Coutinho Goretzka had another good opportunity in a long-range shot (16), also prepared the perpetrator by a high pass from a great chance of Lewandowski before (7).

Despite clear superiority, however, Bayern had to wait until the 53rd minute for the 2-0. That was also the starting signal of the big Lewandowski show: Within 14 minutes and 31 seconds, the 31-year-old scored four goals, so many goals in one game he had not yet succeeded in his Champions League career. It was also the fastest four goals of a professional in a game of the Champions League. Lewandowski is now standing at 27 goals in 20 competitive games this season.
