Barcelona’s victory over Bayern Munich saw the Catalans end a weak run against the Bavarian giants and take revenge for some painful European nights.

Raphinha was the hero with a hat-trick, while Robert Lewandowski scored against ex-employers and manager Hansi Flick also enjoyed his reunion with his former team.

And following the win, one telling statistic has emerged that highlights Flick’s impact on Barcelona since his arrival in the summer, as highlighted by Mundo Deportivo.

Barcelona’s players covered a total of 126.55 kilometers during the match, eclipsing their rivals who covered just 120.58 kilometers.

More interestingly, Barcelona’s figures are much higher than in their previous two meetings with Bayern, when they covered 118.59km and 117.8km.

Even more interestingly, it’s a huge upgrade from the 8-2 defeat to Bayern, when Barcelona’s players covered just 98km – a huge 28km less than on Wednesday night.

Flick is known for demanding high pace and great intensity from his players, and the team certainly made a change both on and off the ball last night.
