In the victory in Eindhoven, one Bayern star becomes the comeback king, another delivers a titanic performance. The individual criticism:
Jamal Musiala beamed. A fantastic starting eleven comeback by the national player as a goalscorer and a late joker goal from Harry Kane have secured FC Bayern a top starting position for the knockout phase in the Champions League.
With a 2-1 (0-0) draw at PSV Eindhoven, the German record champions celebrated their seventh win in their eighth game at the end of the preliminary round. The Munich team moved into the round of 16 as second in the league phase and, as desired, avoided the famous all-winners FC Arsenal until a possible final. “It was pretty good, I’m coming in now, it was a good day,” said Musiala about his appearance on DAZN.
The long-injured Musiala’s first Champions League goal in almost eleven months (58th minute), the winning goal from Kane, who came on after an hour (84th minute), and a very good goalkeeping performance from Manuel Neuer’s representative Jonas Urbig, guarantee Bayern now return games in front of their home crowd up to the semi-finals. “Nobody expects miracles from Jamal and yet he played a very, very good game after such a long time,” said Bayern’s sports director Max Eberl about the national player. But Musiala still made the difference in his starting eleven comeback 207 days after breaking his fibula at the Club World Cup.
But not the only one on the pitch. Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig was also in top form just four days after his mistake in the 2-1 defeat against Augsburg. After his mistake against Augsburg, the 22-year-old showed what outstanding talent he has with a number of saves, especially in the first half. He was powerless to concede the goal. The strong performances of Urbig and Musiala are also reflected in the player ratings. You can read the complete t-online individual review here or in the photo show above.
