Sven Ulreich(GK) (7/10)

Ulreich didn’t have much to do and was neat and tidy in passing. He couldn’t do anything with the freekick.

Lucas Hernandez (7.5/10)

Hernandez looked nonchalant from the middle with his commanding presence and timely blocks.

Omar Richards(7.5/10)

Omar was solid and ever lively. Passed well and dictated the play from the left flank brilliantly. His pacy runs were a menace.

Joshua Kimmich(7.5/10)

Kimmich made some positive passes into the midfield and played sleekly with holding the ball well and intercepting Frankfurt passes. His lobs were accurate and pinpoint.

Dayot Upamecano(7/10)

Upamecano was average today. His lazy passes gave possession away and he looked shaky.

Benjamin Pavard(7.5/10)

Pavard was solid at the back but unfortunately conceded a goal which he couldn’t stop. His form has been excellent and would be beneficial for Bayern in the coming games.

Corentin Tolisso(6.5/10)

Tolisso was playing well but got subbed on due to an injury. His passing was intricate and he was the controlling force in the Bayern midfield until he played

Thomas Muller(7/10)

Muller was playing the number 10 role brilliantly in the first half but dipped in the second half with losing possession and making lazy passes.

Leroy Sane(7/10)

Sane had an average game with some bright chances in between the game which he squandered. He was a bit off today.

Marcel Sabitzer(7/10)

Sabitzer seemed off today and did not create many chances except for a few bright moments when he hit the post. Could have been better with finishing.

Chupo-Moting(8.5/10)

Moting was called just after halftime and proved his worth by assisting Lewandowski immediately and also scoring a goal.

Gnabry(7.5/10)

Replaced Tolisso and gave a new life to Bayern with his fresh legs and looked dangerous. Should have started the game with that type of performance. Also provided the assist for the Choupo Moting goal.
