Page 3 - Bayern Munich 1-0 AC Milan - 5 Players who impressed for Bayern

#3 Kingsley Coman

The Frenchman was Bayern biggest threat on the night, however, his finishing let him down. Coman put the the Milan defense under a lot of pressure with his movement in the box, and even had a penalty claim when he was brought down in the area early in the game. His speed and trickery kept the Milan back line on their toes.

Coman was a constant threat in the first half, continuously running through the channels and harassing Calabria with his movements. He even had a chance to score early in the game but was thwarted by Gabbia. The Frenchman created quite a few chances in the opening stages and was especially impressive in the counter.

Another important aspect of the game was his partnership with young left back Alphonso Davies. The two of them combined pretty well and seemed to run on the same wavelength and that should delight Kovac.

The Frenchman was replaced by Alaba in the 59th minute, but by then, Coman had left an impression on the field.
