What was the biggest factor in Bayern Munich dropping points to Viking FK?
Story updated
The story in brief
34-second read(Photo by Carina Johansen / NTB / AFP via Getty Images) / Norway OUT | NTB/AFP via Getty Images Bayern Munich’s 3-3 draw against Viking FK was an entertaining Champions League spectacle, but from a Bayern perspective, it was also a frustrating reminder that dominating the statistics does not automatically translate into winning football.
Bayern finished with 66% possession, 25 shots, eight shots on target, and a staggering 3.51 expected goals (xG). Viking managed just eight shots and 0.56 xG.
And yet, Bayern left Norway with only a point. Bayern conceded three goals despite limiting Viking to relatively few opportunities. The issue was not necessarily allowing a constant stream of chances, but failing to prevent the home side from making its opportunities count.
