Another massive showing from the Canadian as he continues his good run of form. Quickness in recovering the ball gave Hoffenheim players a horrible time.

Raphaël Guerreiro - 9/10
Linked up with Sane and others in the attacking phases incredibly well. Coolly slotted in Bayern’s second of the night.
