1) Robert LewanGOALski

Lewandowski's scored eight times after four group games at a rate of one goal every 44 minutes. He hit a hat-trick as Bayern clinced their place in the last 16 with victory over Benfica last time out, adding to his effort in the reverse fixture and his multiple-goal showings against Barcelona and Kyiv. On target in Augsburg with his 14th Bundesliga goal of the current campaign this past Friday, the 2021 Ballon d'Or frontrunner has now struck 24 times in 18 competitive appearances this season, only failing to fire on three occasions.

2) Leroy's in-Sane form

Leroy Sane's also contributed eight goals during Bayern's march to the knockout rounds. The Germany international has scored four and assisted as many, producing at least one of each in his last three European outings on the spin. Such is his form under Julian Nagelsmann, Serge Gnabry and 2019/20 Champions League final match-winner Kingsley Coman are no longer guaranteed a starting berth. Single-season double figures for competitive goals and assists wouldn't be a first - the 25-year-old pulled off the feat twice in his Manchester City days - but he's never had eight and 10 respectively on the board at this stage in a senior campaign.

3) Thomas Müller, Mr. Bayern

Taking and making chances comes just as naturally to Thomas Müller. The Raumdeuter set up two of five Bayern strikes without reply against Kiev on Matchday 2, and consolidated his lead atop of the Bundesliga assist charts with his ninth provision of the campaign in Augsburg. The game marked his 600th competititve appearance in Bayern colours - more than any other outfield player in the club's illustrious history. In that time, he's had a direct hand in some 451 goals, including six of his own so far this season.

4) Solid from front to back

With such a prolific forward line, it's little wonder Bayern are the top-scoring team in this season's Champions League with 17 goals. They also boast the meanest defence, with only two goals conceded. That in itself is no great surprised for a team boasting Manuel Neuer as their last line of defence. The world's best ever goalkeeper has now kept 50 clean sheets in 123 Champions League appearances, putting him fourth in the all-time stakes. With a new deal at Bayern reportedly in the offing, it's fair to assume the 35-year-old will trump Iker Casillas' record 59 shutouts in the not too distant future.

5) The reverse fixture

Bayern showed just why they're the team to beat when Kiev visited Munich on 29 September. Lewandowski scored a first-half brace, before Gnabry, Sane and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting got in on the act after the restart. Between times, Neuer brilliantly tipped a Carlos De Pena effort over the crossbar. Having already swatted aside Barcelona to the tune of 3-0, Bayern have since beaten Benfica 4-0 and 5-2, and will be guaranteed top spot if they avoid defeat in the Ukrainian capital. It would be the 18th time and fourth in a row the record champions have done so. They also have a competition record 20-match away record to uphold.
