Bayern Munich Player Ratings vs Union Berlin

Goalkeeper

Manuel Neuer – 7

A fairly easy and comfortable game for the beleaguered Bayern custodian, who’s been shockingly erroneous this season.

Made five clearances and blocked two shots in an impressive defensive display.

Kim Min-Jae – 7

Showed great positional awareness and vision to make a few vital interventions.

Midfielders

Joshua Kimmich – 8.5

The architect of Bayern’s win again, completing a staggering 128 passes while also laying five crosses.

Joao Palhinha – 6.5

Impressive passing range and completed a host of passes but didn’t have much involvement otherwise.

Michael Olise – 6.5

Worked brilliantly with his attacking cohorts and even attempted a few shots.

Kingsley Coman – 8.5

Doubled Bayern’s advantage with a clinical strike just minutes before half-time and then set up Kane for 3-0 after the break.

Bayern’s prolific hitman at the brace in yet another terrific display; bagged the assist for Coman too.
