Something that I have noticed from Bayern over the past few years, is that it is such a good groupstage team achieving 22 wins out of 24 groupstage games in the last 5 seasons of the old format, and besides 2019-20, they have somewhat struggled in most of their knockout games like the games against Villarreal and the first leg against Salzburg that same season. Aswell as 2022-23, when they were obliterated by Man City despite performing a somewhat honorable performance against PSG. This phenomenon became so apparent last seaon when they had to comeback from 1-0 down against Lazio and qualified to the semis because of a thumping Kimmich header against Arsenal in the Allianz. These past few Bayern teams don't really feel like true Bayern sides and don't dominate opposition like usual.
