Man of the Match

Bayern Munich - Harry Kane

Harry Kane was brilliant once again today and that last goal proved his class. Despite missing a few chances, the ones he scored showed that he has a ruthless eye for goal and is by far Bayern Munich's best player despite a somewhat poor run of form for the Bavarians.
