#2 Joshua Kimmich

Kimmich picked up a fine assist against Milan

Joshua Kimmich was his usual self against Milan. He was stellar at the back, and eager in attack. The German right back has been a composed figure at the back for the Bundesliga Giants for quite some time now and against Milan too, he did not put a foot wrong. In fact, Milan hardly found any joy through his side, as he effectively shut the door and forced the Serie A giants to looks for other portals of entry.

The Bayern right back's responsibility was not limited in defense alone. Kimmich set up the all important goal, with an incredible pass to Goretzka, which split the Milan defense into two. His inch perfect ball from almost 20 yards out found the midfielder in space and allowed him to score the only goal of the game.

Kimmich was a regular feature in the final third and sent in great balls all through the game. Only some slack finishing stopped him from picking up more assists on the night.
