DMC) Philipp Lahm
Bayern’s captain plays a pivotal anchoring midfield role in the side now, after Pep Guardiola converted him from a fullback. He rarely ever gives the ball away, and provides an exceptional defensive platform as well.
MC) Toni Kroos
Kroos was the best player on the pitch during the first leg, scoring a sublime goal and completely running the show in the middle of the park.
MC) Thiago Alcantra
Thiago’s form means brilliant midfielders like Bastian Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez can’t even get in the starting XI at the moment. He was rested at the weekend, but came on and did superbly during a thirty minute cameo.
