Bayern player ratings: Record-breaking youngster Karl rocks the arena | OneFootball

FC Bayern wins the third game of the Champions League group stage. The Munich team defeats Club Brugge 4-0. The Bayern stars in the FCBinside individual review.

Manuel Neuer: Had to save an unthreatening shot in the first half. Didn't have much to do afterward but cleared well several times when coming out. Rating: 3.

Raphael Guerreiro: Was deployed by coach Kompany on the right in the back four. Made no mistakes in the unfamiliar position but remained quite inconspicuous, as he left the spotlight to Olise and especially Karl in front of him. Rating: 3.

Dayot Upamecano: Had little to do as Brugge was extremely unthreatening going forward. Upamecano played flawlessly. Rating: 3.

Jonathan Tah: Recorded the assist for the 1-0 by Karl. Also played several good passes in the build-up. Cleared everything at the back. Rating: 2.

Konrad Laimer: Surprisingly played on the left defense side. Often found large spaces in his offensive actions, like with his beautiful assist to Kane for the 2-0. Laimer collected another assist for Diaz's 3-0. The Austrian constantly applied pressure and harmonized well with Diaz ahead of him. In the final phase, he switched to the right and played strongly there too. Good game from Laimer. Rating: 2.

Joshua Kimmich: Was somewhat overshadowed by Pavlovic in the center. Kimmich played a decent game with some won duels and good passes. Rating: 3.

Aleksandar Pavlovic: Had a great chance for 2-0 when he curled the ball towards the goal, but Brugge keeper Jackers deflected it onto the inside post. Pavlovic deserved a goal: The national player showed a good game, was the playmaker in midfield, and played many smart and dangerous passes. Rating: 2.

Michael Olise: Was repeatedly given surprisingly much space by the Brugge defense. Olise tried a lot but didn't get into the really dangerous actions. Had some ball losses. Rating: 3.

Lennart Karl: Celebrated his starting eleven debut in the Champions League – and how! After just five minutes, he scored the dream goal for 1-0: After a great solo, he drilled the ball into the top corner – and brought the arena to a boil. Thus, he quickly became the youngest scorer in the Champions League for Bayern. Karl later drew attention again with a spectacular scene. The 17-year-old dribbled through the Brugge defense at speed and placed the ball just wide of the post. In the 69th minute, Karl was substituted to thunderous applause. Rating: 1.

Luis Diaz: Initiated the 2-0 by Kane with a beautiful through pass to Laimer. Then failed from close range against the keeper. However, at his goal for 3-0, keeper Jackers could do nothing: Diaz fired a right-footed shot right under the crossbar. Nice one – and Diaz's first Champions League goal for Bayern. The Colombian was very active and often dangerous. Rating: 2.

Harry Kane: Was left as alone as he hasn't been for a long time for his 2-0 goal. The striker just had to put his foot out after Laimer's cross. Shortly before halftime, Kane tried with force but hit the crossbar. In the second half, Kane ran alone towards the Brugge goal but failed against the keeper. Rating: 2.

Substitutes:

Nicolas Jackson (69th for Kane): Played for Kane in the center forward position and scored with a tap-in for 4-0. That's called effective. Rating: 2.

Tom Bischof (69th for Guerreiro): Took over the left defense side after his substitution, Laimer switched to the right. Didn't make much of an appearance. Rating: 3.

Leon Goretzka (69th for Karl): Formed the double pivot with Kimmich after his substitution but remained inconspicuous. Rating: 3.

Wisdom Mike (81st for Diaz): Came too late for a rating.

Minjae Kim (81st for Diaz): Came too late for a rating.
