Bayern Munich CL Q/F 1st leg (H) | Man of the Match

[Big gay Al]

Rodders for me followed by Silva....Akanji had his best game.

 

[Blue Pete]

Voted for Ake, but really could have gone with pretty much anyone.

Rodders for me followed by Silva....Akanji had his best game.

First time I can’t choose all 9/10

 

[flook]

impossible to choose today, maybe Pep for finally picking the strongest XI for a champions league game ;)

 

[Gingers Dad]

Went for Stones but to be honest it could have been anyone. Just watched the game back this morning stress free and there were some quality performances. Ruben is an absolute beast and he really leads by example. Rodri is the coolest player on the pitch.
Johnny Stones has adapted to that midfield role so well its hard to believe. I think that particular tactical shift will define this season. Feel bad for Walker but hopefully he's still got a role to play

 

[MichaelBBack]

As many have said, there was no MotM last night, nor was there a weak link. It was simply a flawless, total team performance. Every player did his part.

Ederson - Fantastic saves and composure.
The ENTIRE back four - Unbeatable.
Rodri - Puskas.
Gundo and Kev - Controlled the game fabulously.
Bernie - World-class.
Grealish - Beautiful.
Haaland - Inevitable.

Personally, I voted for Akanji, purely cause I think he raised his game more than anyone else last night, but they all deserve nothing but plaudits and praise. One of the best team performances you'll ever see.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Went for Ruben but my god it was hard to single one player as MOTM

Fantastic Team performance

 

[Rammy Blue]

Hard to pick one, think as per the votes that the ones who marginally stood out more were Ruben, Ake, Rodders and Bernie.

 

[KS55]

Gave it to Eddy because he doesn’t get many chances to shine, but he did tonight and made some vital saves.
As for the rest, take your pick; everyone worthy of MOM.

 

[Bluethemaway]

Man of the match performances all over the pitch, in - cred - dibble!

 

[Saddleworth2]

Ederson, Akanji, Dias, Stones, Ake,Rodri, Bernardo, Jack, Erling all have a strong case they played that well. Bernie was my pick. What a performance.

 

[Centurions]

Probably the hardest pick for awhile as recently, someone has stood out amongst good performances all over from others, but damn, it wasn't an easy choice last night.

The Duracell Bunny was as excellent as ever and a constant thorn for them, Dias was a 10 foot stone wall in front of Eddie who was excellent himself when needed. Rodri just seems to get better, who saw a left footed curler coming?

Our left side is looking so, so, good right now though with Grealish turning into a morph of KdB and Bernie but I've given it to Ake for totally shutting down the left side for Bayern. Brilliant from all though.

 

[Bozzie]

Isn’t it brilliant to not know who to choose as MOTM cos they were all bloody fantastic!!
I’ve gone for Ruben, just because of Jamie Jackson, but everyone was at least a 9 out of 10. Nathan Ake, what a season he’s having, Rodri, easily the best defensive midfielder in football atm, Bernardo, immense etc etc.
Special mention for Ederson, couple of excellent and really important saves/interceptions last night.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Thought Akanji really stood out, good performance from Eddy and good game from the grafters. Still thought Kev worked hard to make us tick.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

In a performance in which literally every man stood up to be counted — they had to — Bernardo has to be given the laurels, it seems to me. Does it need to be repeated that the club should do everything in its power to keep him? His going would be a terrible loss.

 

[aguerooo93]

Amazing team performance. Went for Bernardo, Dias a close second with Rodri, Stones, Ake, Grealish, Haaland all outstanding too

Just have to not bottle it next week and we're in the semis. Madrid rematch will be very tough though

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Personally, I voted for Akanji, purely cause I think he raised his game more than anyone else last night, but they all deserve nothing but plaudits and praise. One of the best team performances you'll ever see.

I do hear you on that one. From looking quite uncomfortable, and a bit out of place in the exalted company he was keeping at the start of the season, he has gradually made the place his own. He'll never be on the same level as Dias, Aké, Stones, but then, who is? But he has raised his game to fit in with them as best he can. He sort of reminds me of Joleon alongside Kompany. Now Lescott was no Kompany, and he knew it, but he complemented him perfectly, especially in the 2011-12 season (we'll quietly forget about that back header in the final game!)

 

[chedinho]

Every player has at least a vote.
That’s amazing in itself.

We all could put a case for any player on that pitch to win MOtM but for me….. Bernardo.

 

[glasg0wblue]

Could have been any of them but Akanji just shades it as most people were flapping he was in the team before the game started.

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Literally could have given it to anyone on the pitch - even Alvarez coming on as sub was magnificent. Probably biased by being on his side behind our goal in the first half, went for Akanji, who was absolutely outstanding.

Up front, Bernado was unbelievable, incredible performance, Rodri, that goal! And everyone else too. Still buzzing now.
