His linkup play has also gone a level up, showing a stark improvement in all aspects of his game. With his best years ahead of him, Gnabry is going to get even better for Bayern.
Gnabry has also developed a knack of delivering top performances in big games. He has managed to score nine goals in the Champions League this season. Gnabry’s immense productivity in big games has also stopped Bayern from being a one-dimensional team, relying solely on Lewandowski for goals. Gnabry is cementing his place as a world-class forward, long may it continue.
