Tolisso and Coman combined well to score Bayern's third goal

Robert Lewandowski may have got things going for Bayern with a well-taken goal (his 43rd in 66 Champions League matches) but it was midfielder Corentin Tolisso who stole the show on a night where there were far more superior attacking talents on the pitch.

The French midfielder scored either side of half-time and both goals came via runs from midfield to provide Bayern with an extra man in the box. The first saw both centre-backs following Lewandowski's movements as Tolisso stole in behind them to tuck away James Rodriguez's cross.

The second was a superb counter-attack where Kingsley Coman advanced the ball up field and waited for the correct moment to pass the ball into space where Tolisso had made his run.

Coman's pass and Tolisso's run were perfectly timed for Bayern's third goal

There were six PSG defenders in the box but Tolisso picked his spot and timed his run to perfection to receive Coman's pass and fire it past Alphonse Areola to find the back of the net.

Coman himself put in a scintillating performance as he made a nuisance of himself throughout the game. Apart from his assist, he completed 4 dribbles (the highest in the game), made 3 successful tackles, and even had two shots on target.

"I'm not surprised with Coman's performances. Every game he gives me a reason to start him in the next game." - Jupp Heynckes
