Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich 1-1: Tops and Flops of the first half
Tops
Rodriguez: Brilliant in his passing game, dropping down on several occasions to open up space for his teammates. A few great passes which could have resulted in his team scoring.
Marcelo: Involved in almost every Real Madrid attack, when leaving his defensive duties. Great assist to Benzema, finding the Frenchman at the back post.
Flops
Varane: Misplaced several passes and looked sloppy at the back. It’s evident that Ramos can’t carry the four-man backline on his own. Real Madrid would need to work harder in the defensive phase in the second half.
Ulreich: Bayern really miss Neuer. His stand-in, Ulreich, failed to impress once again as he misplaced a few easy passes while putting his defence in danger. Did make a good save on Ronaldo, though.
