On the Bayern side, Sky Sports gave Dayot Upamecano a score of 4 – the lowest among the players on the pitch. In the first half, the French midfielder held the ball well and was very effective in intercepting Man City’s front line, but then made a landmark mistake. In the 70th minute, when Bayern were leading 0-1 but creating an even position, Upamecano dribbled dangerously in front of the penalty area for Jack Grealish to rob and then hit Haaland on his heel. From the Norwegian striker’s cross, Bernardo Silva headed in to double the lead.

Another Bayern player who also received a 4 is Jamal Musiala . The lack of experience in big matches made the German midfielder awkwardly handle and miss many chances on Bayern’s ball. He touched the ball 44 times but lost 12 times, and had to make way for Sadio Mane from the 69th minute.

Gnabry also performed badly and received 5 points. On the day Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was absent due to injury, coach Thomas Tuchel placed both Mane and Thomas Muller on the bench, to push Gnabry into the virtual striker. But the German player did not meet expectations, not even having a shot, a successful dribble or a decisive pass.

Similarly, Benjamin Pavard also received 5 points. The French defender has many difficulties when facing Grealish who is in high form and regularly receives the support of Kevin de Bruyne. Pavard therefore did not have many opportunities to attack.

Coman, Matthijs De Ligt, Alphonso Davies, Mane received 6 points, while Yann Sommer, Leon Goretzka, Leroy Sane got 7 points. Joshua Kimmich got the highest score on the Bayern side with 8 points.

This weekend, Man City face Leicester in the English Premier League, and Bayern face Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. The two teams will rematch at the Allianz Arena on the evening of April 19.
