Bayern Munich: Three factors that led to treble win
Instilling the old ethos of Bayern Munich quickly
In the last few seasons, Die Roten has looked a shadow of themselves. The team looked lethargic, and the pressing also often looked unorganized. Different managers have different styles of play, so you cannot point fingers on them. They stick with the approach that has worked for them over a long time.
Flick was also expected to instill his philosophy on the team. However, his philosophy looked very much like the team that won the treble in 2013. The team pressed aggressively throughout 90 minutes and developed a ruthless streak in the final third. Die Roten also often went direct whenever it was difficult to play out from the back.

Bayern looked a much fitter squad, helping them to maintain a high level of intensity in every game. They never took their foot off the pedal when they were cruising to victories. All these qualities have a striking resemblance to the last treble-winning team, so it is no surprise that both teams went on achieving the same feat.
Flick will have more time with the squad next season to refine the style of play he wants to see his team play consistently. With a young group of players, the future looks brighter for Die Roten despite winning big prizes this season. If the German manager continues to keep the ethos of Bayern intact, then top clubs should brace themselves for Bavarian domination in the next couple of years.
