From the source

On December 1, 2020, Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick was in a bind as he prepared for an away match against Atlético Madrid. In the age of COVID, Bayern was dealing with injuries, a compact schedule, and a match that did not leave much to play for.

The head coach had to make some tough decisions with his lineup, and Flick put together one of the ugliest XIs we have ever seen in the modern era of this site.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting leading the line, Douglas Costa on the left, a teenage Jamal Musiala in the middle, and Leroy Sané on the right. David Alaba captained a midfield featuring Javi Martínez.
