Neuer was finished according to some.

Neuer was a beast today. Paris wouldnt have scored on him in 360 minutes.

11 games, 11 wins.
43-8 goals.

Most dominant UCL performance ever?

Not a good final. Rushed home to watch PSG not put in a shift. Bayern always looked like scoring. Forgot Neymar was out there at times until he was on the ground.

Maybe but this was not the strongest year for the Champions League.

Why? Because Real and Barca are rebuilding?

This Bayern squad is among the best teams I can remember.

This wasn't the strongest CL year.
The only difference was this pandemic edition, with Portugal, no fans eg...
but i don't see that as strongest one.

I am not arguing it wasnt the strongest...but it certainly wasnt weak.

So we should not start to put an asterisk on this.

Bayern deserved to win so no asterisk but Im curious where you rank this Bayern team against previous winners.

Only team I would rank higher is Real Madrid. Not necessary because of on pitch performances in single years but it takes an incredible amount of commitment to win the CL three years in a row.
