Bayern Munich player ratings vs Real Madrid: Three Ballon d'Or contenders in the one forward line! Luis Diaz, Michael Olise & Harry Kane help Bavarians break Blancos curse in epic Champions League qua

Manuel Neuer (3/10):

After his heroics in Madrid, one of the most famous sweeper-keepers in history immediately gifted Real a goal with a dreadful misplaced pass, while his positioning on Guler's free-kick was seriously suspect. He did, at least, make a good reaction stop to deny Mbappe in the second half.

Josip Stanisic (4/10):

Taken off at the end of a weak first-half performance best summed up by the way in which he remained on the ground in order to look for a non-existent free-kick in the lead-up to Madrid's third goal.

Dayot Upamecano (6/10):

Put in a couple of expertly-timed tackles on Vinicius and stepped forward brilliantly to pick out Kane to make it 2-2. However, the error-prone centre-back was caught out of position on more than one occasion and remains a difficult player to work out.

Jonathan Tah (5/10):

Made one big block on Mbappe but didn't convince at all in the centre of defence and, like Upamecano, was guilty of a real lack of awareness at times.

Konrad Laimer (6/10):

Got across brilliantly to put a challenge in on Mbappe when the forward looked certain to score but gave away the free that Guler scored to put the visitors back in front and was loose in possession at times. Switched to right-back following the introduction of Alphonso Davies and did well.

Michael Olise (8/10):

Only showed glimpses of what he can do during a surprisingly quiet first half but went close with a couple of classic curling efforts after the break before finally getting it right in injury time. A terrific talent.

Serge Gnabry (4/10):

Supposedly fit to start but he didn't look it during the opening 45 minutes, and the big surprise was that he was left on for an hour. Offered nothing.

Luis Diaz (8/10):

Always looking to take the game to Madrid and unlucky to see a good effort fortuitously deflected wide by Jude Bellingham. He failed dismally to get the ball out of his feet after finding himself in on goal midway through the second half but more than made amends with a crucial strike.

Harry Kane (8/10):

Another fine performance against Madrid from the Englishman, who took his goal wonderfully well and also held the ball up brilliantly all evening. Such a clever footballer.

Alphonso Davies (5/10):

Thrown on at left-back at half-time but didn't really have the expected impact. Still doesn't look quite the same player he was before the injury.

Jamal Musiala (7/10):

Replaced the ineffective Gnabry as Bayern's No.10 and immediately put Diaz straight in on goal only for the Colombian to fluff his lines. Will be pushing to start in the semis after supplying Diaz for Bayern's crucial third goal.

Vincent Kompany (7/10):

Can't be at all happy with his defence, while the decision to start Gnabry was ill-advised at best. But his side never lost faith in their football and eventually wore Real down. Kompany is doing quite the job at the Allianz Arena, although it helps having three forwards playing so well that they're all legitimate contenders for this year's Ballon d'Or!
