Again Arturo Vidal. The Chilean hammering FC Bayern with a superb goal in the semifinals of the Champions League. The midfielder fighter against Benfica again best Munich – a teammate has time a misfire. The single criticism.
The Bayern are back. Fifth time in a row in the semifinals of the Champions League – just one more turn to the desired final in Milan. At quarter-final second leg at Benfica (2: 2) Munich tremble briefly, then play but confidently to the next round. Who believes in Lisbon and who faltered:
Manuel Neuer, grade 5 does not engage
Had to Benfica’s leadership. The first goal of the Portuguese but saw the goalkeeper then very slightly from, stormed completely mindlessly out of his goal, Jimenez could loose head in. But Neuer would not be new, he could be bringing of such an action under this concept. Just minutes after Benfica 1: 0 he rescued strongly against Jimenez. Note In injury time but he could still keep a ball
Philipp Lahm, 2
the Bayern captain behind ran the often withdrawing in the middle Costa very energetic, prepared so well the first Bavaria-chance Müller after 19 minutes. This concept worked several times – and decisive. For a Lahm cross was also that the 1: 1 prepared of Bavaria. You could tell the captain, who now record players of Bayern in the Champions League (103 inserts as Oliver Kahn), that this game it was great fun. Even after the break with notable advances.
Joshua Kimmich, Note 3
The remains of Jerome Boateng to replace central defender established young man was the declared goal of Benfica because you wanted Kimmich repeatedly send in head duels. The Under-21 international then tried all the more to security and uncompromising game, but that did not always work – before tremendous chance the Portuguese to 2: 0 steered Kimmich past the ball. Otherwise, however, (as so often): impressive clarified
Javi Martínez, Note 3
. Spaniard was promoted to the starting line, last week he was still loaded. Looked at goal by Jimenez somewhat awkwardly out, made his mistake later, but with the great headed pass (brilliant timing) for results of Müller up for it. And had in the final phase very lucky that he saw no red card for a sliding tackle from behind as the last man. All in all a very courageous and focused appearance. Guardiola can be very glad that Martínez for hot season phase is time again fully fit – and must hope that it stays that a few more weeks so
. David Alaba, Note 4
the Austrians slipped out left, recently he was always placed in the center of defense. Then came the goal a little late, it looked as if pushed Alaba Benfica Jimenez in the header to the guide. Otherwise, left outside a very more willing playmate for Franck Ribéry. But:. One of the more inconspicuous games of the Allrounder
Xabi Alonso, note 3
Sat in the first leg 90 minutes outside, this time Guardiola did not want to give up his passport security. the balls to Holte mostly on Kimmich. Led the attacks then aware of the outside one, also worked fine. Otherwise, the experienced Spaniard held back with showy actions. If one may say so: The veteran gave his program with safe passing game with supreme ease, as the coach ordered.
Arturo Vidal, Note 1
Discreet start of Chileans who had only once tried to order in the center. First scene was then a somewhat unpressurized header on 22 minutes, after Thiago Wurschtelflanke Vidal could with the ball but also do anything better. Then came a bit unlucky at 0: 1 late for Crosser. But then it started: When Benfica goalkeeper Ederson a cross could only abgewehren, Vidal thundered the ball wonderfully with the left under the crossbar to 1: 1 – in the first leg of the new purchase last summer for Bayern had hit. This time he showed again: In big games Vidal makes particularly great – again best Bayern players
Thiago, Note 4 <. /> h2>
the Spaniard should make the game offensively, but were rarely used to set decisive actions because Bayern almost attack via outside. Wich after the break a little more on the sides, hit from there, for example, a wonderful Außenristflanke, but it was intercepted. All in all a game to its potential. Nevertheless. In Pep hierarchy miles ahead of Mario Götze
Douglas Costa, Note 3
The Brazilian has his magic from the Hinrunde lost something, started in Lisbon with a botched pass diagonally through the half rearward field. then was standing surprisingly often free from Benfica left and used his room with fall dribbling, but brought little income. Initiated with a nice short pass an on Lahm Bavaria compensation. After the break the game it was then much easier, rammed a class shot just after the hour the post. Otherwise:. Much will that bit of luck
Franck Ribéry, Note 2
The Frenchman is a the few Bayern, who had gone into top form in this game. Ribéry then had a lot to do from the very beginning with the game, the Munich combined often on his left side forward. Benfica right-back Almeida had big problems with Bavaria dribbler who developed more enthusiasm after the break with more space. Nevertheless. As in the last few weeks often too hesitant in the penalty
Thomas Müller (to 84.), Note 2
surprising role for the striker, who started ahead the Bank after Lewandowski exile. In this role, Müller was indeed enormous willingness to run and offered repeatedly bravely, but clever balls into the tip came barely. And yet Müller – again – a decisive role in the outskirts of Munich. Compensation for Vidal he raced vigorously in a Lahm cross, the 2:. Then he made 1 by Martínez-headed pass yourself with his eye for goal Later there was still another goal, but that did not count for offside. Conclusion: very efficient game.
Robert Lewandowski (from 84th), no touch
The Pole, who a few days ago had a small car accident in Munich, was sacrificed by Guardiola for another midfielder. Came late, missed a good chance
Juan Bernat (from 90th), no touch
Bad news for the Spaniard, who still acted in good shape in the first leg. Who between two such games flying out of the team, worried
Mario Götze no note has to do. (from 90 + 2),
seconds used for the attacker. Where joy falls over progressing well only slightly from
