Bayern defeats Arsenal: individual criticism
MANUEL NEUER – NOTE 2: Reliability in person in the first leg, saved in the League against Colonia. Neuer loves these Champions League nights and this time he showed it too. Very strong, he stopped Odegaard's deflected shot with one hand and then cleared it off Havertz, who was offside (30th). Great game.
Joshua Kimmich puts Bayern ahead with a header
JOSHUA KIMMICH – NOTE 1: Increasingly feeling more comfortable at right back, Kimmich is approaching his best level. Strong in the duels at the beginning of the match, Kimmich was fully present. Good passes, good crosses. Coronation: his header goal made it 1-0 (63rd). The winner of the match.
MATTHIJS DE LIGT – GRADE 2: Tuchel is now in central defense, uncompromising and confident. As before, with a good performance.
ERIC DIER – NOTE 2: As a former Tottenham player, I'm especially keen against their old arch-rivals Arsenal. He threw himself into every duel and every aerial duel. Dier cleared against Havertz in the area (56th). Above!
Konrad Laimer and Leon Goretzka with good performances in the double six
NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI – NOTE 2: The Moroccan replaced Alphonso Davies, who was suspended, at left back. And they almost made it 1-0: after a great run and an assist from Guerreiro, Mazraoui's cross was deflected and the ball skimmed the goal on the right (23'). Great match against the fast, mentally awake Saka.
KONRAD LAIMER – NOTE 2: in the first leg in London Very attentive and aggressive in duels. He wanted to continue right there. Another good performance, after a challenge on Odegaard he received a yellow card (55th).
LEÓN GORETZKA – NOTE 2: The driving force of Bayern's midfield had a mega chance: his header hit the post (47th). Safe performance in the center.
LEROY SANÉ – NOTE 3: The body was pinched in several places, but due to the tense staff situation, Sané had to start. And the offensive star fought like a lion. Sané's shot went over the goal (66th).
Victory goal in the 60th minute: Raphael Guerreiro with a spectacular cross for Kimmich
JAMAL MUSIALA – NOTE 2: Well, from the beginning of the game he tested goalkeeper Raya with a long shot that he stopped (24th). When Musiala accelerated through the middle, things often got dangerous. He also very good at defensive behavior.
RAFAEL GUERREIRO – NOTE 1: It was something surprising Portuguese Left winger Thomas Müller and Mathys Tel were sitting outside. With a brave performance, the Portuguese repeatedly supported Mazraoui in duels with Saka. He then had bad luck: his shot hit the outside post (47'). It was spectacular how he set up Kimmich's cross for 1-0. Tuchel's master plan worked.
HARRY KANE – NOTE 3: He English The great forward had Bayern's first opportunity, after a cross from Kimmich he finished from the right (4th). After that, he is rarely seen in front of goal, but he is important as a passing point.
