Match Awards from Bayern Munich’s 10-2 aggregate win over Atalanta in the Champions League – Bavarian Football Works

Bayern Munich completely destroyed Atalanta over two legs, running out 10-2 winners on aggregate after winning 4-1 in the second leg on Wednesday night. The Bavarians are set to face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals next month.

Bayern: Harry Kane (26’P, 54’), Lennart Karl (56’), Luis Díaz (70’)

Atalanta: Lazar Samardžić (85’)

Why does every goalkeeper have to act like prime Manuel Neuer against Bayern? Well, he did keep the score down, but he ended up shipping four goals. The rest of the Atalanta team didn’t do much.

The whole back line had a decent outing, but Stani gets the nod here. The Croatian has been active in both attack and defense, regularly manning the flank and serving as an outlet for a pass.

Pavlović ran the show up until he got subbed off. He was very active and controlled the game with ease. He made way for debutant Deniz Ofli midway through the second half.

I put Lucho here purely because he finally managed to score a 1-v-1. The Colombian’s off the ball work was once again understated. Lennart Karl and Raphael Guerreiro didn’t look inspiring.

Kane scored two goals, one of which was an outrageous turn and finish while holding off two Atalanta players (and the other, his customary penalty). He also made a few good passes when he switched to play-maker mode.
