There's going out with a bang, and then there's this.

Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb were no match for Bayern Munich in their Champions League meeting, with the in-form Robert Lewandowski scoring a hat-trick in the Germans' 5-0 win. But the result brought to an end a phenomenal unbeaten run for Dinamo. https://twitter.com/archiert1/status/648967922627538945 We'd wager that Croatia's top flight is possibly a little less competitive than the Premier League or Bundesliga, but it's still a remarkable feat from the team that saw off 10-man Arsenal on matchday one. They had avoided defeat in the first 19 games of the current campaign - sitting three points clear in the league after 11 games and brushing aside three opponents in the Champions League qualifying round (though they had a scare against Molde before progressing on away goals). Incredibly they haven't lost a domestic league game since May 2014, while their last defeat to any team came against Astra Giurgiu last November. That's not bad by anyone's standards.
