Gnabry's reinvention in the SS role is brilliant to see. A proper Raumdeuter. Really smart at exploring spaces vacated by Kane and the wingers, he's also been so good at "drag-and-run" movements, has certainly learned a thing or two from a certain guy named Thomas...

⬇️A few takeaways from yesterday's match:

Interesting to see that Bayern didn't mind sacrificing their rest-defence structure in order to pin Madrid back. The fullbacks would push high into the half-spaces, often occupying the last line with the wingers high and wide.

Even though Vini Jr. and Mbappé pose a great threat on the counter, Bayern were aggressively committed to pinning Madrid back from the beginning. What would sometimes form a 3-man rest defense was Kimmich or Pavlović dropping into the back line.

Nice to see the highly talented and dynamic Ismael Kone scoring against AC Milan last weekend. Thriving in a well-coached Sassuolo side. Ball player.

[✟ hq ✰ @murdock1886]

This is really, really interesting. Kone seems like a very promising player, I didn't know about this fact from the tweet below, though. As they say: ''The bigger the chaos, the closer is the solution.''

What a ride it was. Both key elements in some of the best bits of football we've ever witnessed. Of course it had to end with a trophy, btw!

He adds another one to his season tally!

Manzambi masterclass

What a talent Ibrahim Maza (20) is. Perfect Wirtz replacement - carrying and tight space dribbling, inventive midfielder with an eye for the goal.

[✟ hq ✰ @murdock1886]

Kenan glides on the pitch. Every touch is already in preparation for the next action, as I once said here - good receiving wide in isolation to create through passing/dribbling, good carrying and dribbling centrally, supremely powerful and technical. The complete package.

Easier assignments for the players to understand their roles / riskier.

[Jamie Hamilton @stirling_j]

To be honest, I don’t see why we can’t understand the value of both.

@hbrooks_coach Has to be. Mistakes became so rare for him and the threat he brings offensively is unmatched.
