Barcelona’s triumph against Bayern Munich signified a notable reversal of fortune for the Catalan team, enabling them to rectify previous European setbacks against their Bavarian counterparts.
Raphinha stood out with a hat-trick, while Robert Lewandowski scored against his former team. Manager Hansi Flick enjoyed a successful reunion with his former team.
A notable statistic has surfaced post-match, highlighting the impact Flick has made on Barcelona since joining this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The players from Barcelona accumulated a combined distance of 126.55 kilometers in the match, exceeding Bayern’s total of 120.58 kilometers.
Furthermore, this distance marks a notable increase from their past matches against Bayern, where they covered 118.59 kilometers and 117.8 kilometers, respectively.
To provide context, this marks a significant enhancement from their 8-2 defeat to Bayern, where the team covered only 98 kilometers— a remarkable 28 kilometers less than what they achieved on Wednesday night.
Flick is recognized for implementing a rapid, intense playing approach in his teams, and the team effectively displayed their drive both with and without possession in the game.
