Bayern Munich thrashed Arsenal 5-1 in the Champions League not long ago, but the Gunners can feel okay about that once they see Hamburg’s recent record in Munich.
Hamburg travelled to the Allianz Arena for a league fixture against the German champions this weekend – it’s fair to say they took nothing from the game, which they lost 8-0.

Pretty rubbish, right?
Well that doesn’t tell the whole story, actually – if you look back just a little further, you’ll see that this result was part of a trend which has been going on for some time.
Bayern's home matches against Hamburg since 2011:

6-0, 5-0, 9-2, 3-1, 8-0, 5-0, 8-0.
44-3 on aggregate. Insane. #FCBHSV

That’s an average of over six goals a game for Bayern.
It wasn’t a bad way to mark Carlo Ancelotti’s 1,000th match in management either – the Italian has enjoyed a managerial career filled with success, just as he did as a player.
