Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen: Combined XI
By Tushar Bahl
DM: Granit Xhaka - Few would have expected Xhaka to make the impact he did after joining Bayer Leverkusen. But the Switzerland international has dictated play in remarkable fashion and maintained an exceptional standard for Xabi Alonso's side over the last 12 months, and just gets the nod over Aleksandar Pavlović and João Palhinha.
CM: Joshua Kimmich - Kimmich is a mainstay for both Bayern Munich and Germany, whether it be in midfield or at right-back. And his ability to control the game at will makes him a must-have in the number eight role in our team.
AM: Jamal Musiala - There are few players who can find space and pick out passes under pressure in the manner Musiala does for Bayern Munich week in, week out. The 21 year old is equally adept at creating opportunities for himself and his teammates. His game-changing ability and world-class skills make him the ideal number ten for any team in the world.
