Bayern Munich player ratings from 1–0 win against Benfica
Player ratings from Bayern's 1-0 win against a tenacious and compact Benfica side on matchday four of the Champions League.
Midfield
Jamal Musiala: 8/10
The 21-year-old was the big difference maker as his headed goal got Bayern the much-needed three points. Other than the goal, his performance was decent, but nothing special.
Joshua Kimmich: 7.5/10
Tidy performance. Controlled the tempo and dictated the play for Die Roten. Barely got any chances to make that signature lobbed pass into the penalty area but it was mostly down to the attackers not making any runs. As usual, his corner kicks were totally ineffective.
Joao Palhinha: 8/10
Solid performance from the Portuguese against his former rival team. Engaged in several duels and sweeping tackles to win the possession back and also wasn’t too bad on the ball.
