Bayern Munich secured a 2-0 win over Lokomotiv Moscow in the Champions League here on Thursday. Flick also said that his opponents were "very defence-minded".
"Our opponents were very defence-minded but after the opener I knew we'd win because we were solid at the back. We achieved what we set out to do. 2020 was an outstanding year for us in the Champions League, with the title win this summer. We wanted to end the year with a win and we did that," the club's official website quoted Flick as saying.
Niklas Sule scored the opening goal of the match in the 63rd minute before Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting doubled the lead in the 80th minute. With this victory, Bayern Munich stretched their unbeaten run in the Champions League to 17 games.

Expressing delight over the win, Sule said: "I'm very happy we finished the group stage with a victory today because we've been incredibly strong in this competition this year. We made the most of it at the end, and nothing else matters."
Bayern Munich will now take on Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
