Top marks for Bayern attack: Player ratings vs RB Leipzig | OneFootball

FC Bayern kicks off the new Bundesliga season with a resounding victory. Against RB Leipzig, coach Vincent Kompany’s team wins by a clear margin of 6:0. The Bayern stars in the FCBinside individual player ratings.

Manuel Neuer: Only had to save one shot from Raum in the first half – Neuer did it one-handed. In the second half, Neuer had nothing to do at all. Grade: 3.

Konrad Laimer: Had a good chance at the start of the game but was denied by RB keeper Gulacsi. Worked the right side with a lot of passion, but also had to cover for Olise. A solid performance from the Austrian. Grade: 3.

Dayot Upamecano: Upamecano played a pass to the opponent, which led to a shot on goal for Leipzig. Otherwise, Upamecano had a decent game and won his duels. However, he wasn’t quite as dominant as Tah. Grade: 3.

Jonathan Tah: Quick-thinking and strong in the air. Tah played very calmly and showed good vision in the build-up. His tackling was impressive. His only mistake led to what seemed to be a goal for Leipzig to make it 1:4, but it was not given. Overall, a good game from Tah. Grade: 2.

Josip Stanisic: Played as left-back and secured his side attentively. The interplay with Diaz already worked well in several scenes. Grade: 3.

Joshua Kimmich: His dream pass to Kane in the first half deserved a goal, but the Englishman narrowly missed with a first-time shot. Kimmich covered a lot of ground and distributed the ball masterfully. Towards the end of the game, a Kimmich shot grazed just over the bar. Good game from the midfield engine. Grade: 2.

Leon Goretzka: Took a knock to the shin from Diamonde right at the start, shook it off and was able to continue. After that, he was present in the center of midfield and contributed a lot to Bayern’s build-up play. In the second half, Goretzka was less impactful until his substitution. Grade: 3.

Michael Olise: You can hardly put a ball in the net more clinically than Olise did for the 1:0. His second goal to make it 3:0 was ice-cold: first, the Frenchman feinted a shot, then coolly slotted it in. Olise dribbled, Olise dazzled, Olise was unstoppable. Outstanding! Grade: 1.

Serge Gnabry: Made two passing errors at the start. Then, Gnabry set up Diaz for the 2:0 with a lovely backheel. He also set up Olise’s 3:0 nicely. Gnabry initiated the counter for the 4:0 with a strong play. A good performance from Gnabry. Grade: 2.

Luis Diaz: After just 32 minutes, the new FCB signing scored his first Bundesliga goal – and what a goal! After a beautiful combination over several stations, the Colombian thundered the ball perfectly under the bar for the 2:0. In his actions on the ball, Diaz repeatedly showed his classy technique and a few tricks. He set up Kane’s 4:0 brilliantly. A very, very good Bundesliga debut for Diaz. Grade: 1.

Harry Kane: In the first half, after an excellent pass from Kimmich from deep, Kane shot just over the goal. Otherwise, he often dropped very deep. In the second half, Kane went full throttle up front and scored a hat-trick. That’s how the season should start for the striker. World-class! Grade: 1.

Substitutes:

Aleksandar Pavlovic (68’ for Goretzka): Came back surprisingly quickly. Played with a mask, but was not particularly noticeable. Grade: 3.

Minjae Kim (68’ for Tah): Made a sprint across the field and set up Kane’s 6:0 superbly. That action was spectacular. Grade: 2.

Sacha Boey (68’ for Laimer): Was not troubled at right-back, as the game was already decided. Often positioned very high, but couldn’t make an impact offensively. Grade: 3.

Lennart Karl (68’ for Gnabry): The youngster was denied twice by Gulacsi after coming on. Grade: 3.

Jonah Kusi-Asare (86’ for Kane): Came on too late to be rated.
