Neuer – Giant
There is only one reason why a stratospheric Neymar Jr. left the Parque de los Príncipes unmarked. Manuel Peter Neuer, goalkeeper and captain of Bayern and the German team, who in the first half denied the former FC Barcelona goal on three clear occasions, who also ran into the sticks twice. The former Schalke player, who was already decisive in the Lisbon final against the Parisians, kept his team in the tie with a spectacular repertoire of saves. Brilliant with your feet too.
Pavard – Approved
He had to dance with the ugliest and was one of the least outstanding of his team, but he cannot be blamed for anything.
Boateng – Titanic
Unbeatable throughout the game. She is free in the summer and showed that, at 32 years old, she still has sane for a while. Who signs it at zero cost will get a real treasure.
Luke
Hernandez – Ascending
He came out the loser in his particular duel with Neymar in the first half, but he rebuilt and ended up unhinging the Brazilian in the second.
Alphonso
Davies – Bipolar
In attack he remembered at times the Davies of last season, although in defense he suffered constantly against Ángel Di María.
Kimmich – Metronome
He set the pace for the encounter, but missed Goretzka, his regular dance partner.
Praise – Gunboat
Located as a midfielder, he tried his luck from a distance on a couple of occasions. His was the shot before Choupo-Moting's goal. The entry of Musiala by Alphonso Davies returned the left-back, his most natural position.
Sané – Reborn
In Paris we saw the best version of the former Manchester City, who only needed a little pause in an action in the discount in which, totally alone and with all the time in the world, he rushed and focused on the hands of Keylor Navas . He drove first Diallo and then Bakker crazy, forcing Mbappé and Neymar to help them in defensive tasks.
Müller – Eternal
He discharged incredibly well in the Bavarian goal and tried endlessly. The one who most missed Lewandowski.
Eat – Hurried on
He was filled with the ball on some occasions and was somewhat accelerated in others. Despite this, he was a constant nuisance to the inexperienced Dagba.
Choupo-Moting – Opportunist
It is impossible to replace Lewandowski, a footballer who has scored 42 goals in the 36 games he has played this season. Still, the Cameroonian scored his second goal in the tie against his former team and gave the reigning champion hope.
THE CHANGES
Musiala – Newbie
At 18, it was Hansi Flick's first change due to the scarcity of resources available to the German coach.
Javi
Martinez – Forward
He entered and positioned himself at the top ‘a lo Salinas’ to add air power to the Bavarian attack.
