Flop: Robert Lewandowski

Will the real Robert Lewandowski please stand up?

The Der Klassiker is often a hunting ground for the Polish predator, who was rather the prey today of the stoic and sturdy Dortmund defence. Such was the stinker he had.

To put it bluntly - Lewandowski was virtually non-existent in the match. Constantly hounded by the robust Manuel Akanji, he could barely get even a whiff of the ball in the attacking third and was dispossessed twice in the game.

With only 27 touches on the ball - the lowest of any Bayern player and the second-lowest overall - he had little to feast on throughout the course, but when an opportunity finally reared its head - a rebound off Coman's effort - Dortmund's Swiss goalkeeper Marwin Hitz denied him from point-blank range.

Things came to a head when he went into the referee's book for a nasty challenge on the Dortmund 'keeper, and that pretty much summed up his (frustrating) evening.

The all-time top-scorer of the DFL-Supercup looked anything but.
