Key points so far

- Musiala press together with Gnabry as CFs. 4-2-4.

- de Bruyne press together with Haaland as CFs. 4-4-2.

- Gündogan is quietly having a very good game. Seems to have mastered Fabregas role in Barcelona as a CM/CF hybrid that get forgotten

- Sane and Coman are playing as natural wingers. Normally they play as inverted wingers.

- Davies is a cheat code. Like Maicon and athletes of that kind he can cover a whole flank by himself, just needs confidence to go for it himself sometimes.

- Bernardo Silva has got the advantage. His trickery gets him past Davies who most of the time can recover but as with the goal he sometimes buys just enough time to pass to an open team mate.

*Coman and Sane have switched flanks after 30 minutes, just after the goal.

The goal was more on Kimmich than Sommer, too much space for Rodri to get in shooting position

Bernardo Silva is just unreal. Honestly, one of the best transfers of recent times. Yes he was £40 odd million but strewth is he impressive.

Perhaps he's as good a player as his City namesake.

Great player, but moans too much at the ref. If Robertson's a big baby, this guy is a little one.

Nah David Silva was more consistently class. His numbers will probably tell that story too.

Great player though

I thought it was a foul too. But Bayern are absolutely rattled right now.
To be fair the goal was a wonder goal from distance and that chance just now was a foul on Sommer after an awkwardly deflected cross. City have the upper hand right now but it's not as bad as these last chances have made it seem.
