#3 Hit- Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich)

Kingsley Coman made sure that the trust Hans Flick placed in him was paid off with interest. The Frenchman never shied away from taking the Paris Saint-Germain defenders on and Kehrer had a very difficult time trying to contain the Bayern Munich winger.

Paris Saint-Germain were lucky to escape a penalty scare after Coman was brought down inside the area on the brink of half-time after he stormed into the box from the left flank.

Coman kept making intelligent runs and he almost added a second after running on to a cross at the far post shortly after his first goal. However, his left-footed shot was cleared by Thiago Silva. Coman had an excellent outing and came back to haunt his old team on one of the biggest nights of his career for Bayern Munich.

#2 Flop- Thilo Kehrer (Paris Saint-Germain)

Kehrer started off well for Paris Saint-Germain in an attacking sense. However, he was all over the place defensively and stumbled in the box while backpedalling to deal with Joshua Kimmich's cross and this led to Coman safely heading the ball home.

Kehrer struggled against Coman's pace and was lucky to have not given away a penalty right before halftime after bringing the Frenchman down inside the box.

The 23-year-old switched off on multiple occasions and consistently failed to mark his man at the far post and things could have turned even grimmer for him had Coman converted from a cross after getting a shot away inside the box, unmarked.

#1 Hit- Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)

Bayern Munich's champion goalkeeper Manuel Neuer came up trumps whenever called upon and kept his team in the game after Paris Saint-Germain threatened to run away with it in the opening 30 minutes.

His outstretched legs were simply impossible to get past on multiple occasions as Neuer denied Neymar and Marquinhos and showcased good positioning to deny Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain's best chance of the game.

Manuel Neuer proved on the big stage once again why he is one of the greatest goalkeepers of this generation and perhaps one of the greatest of all time. He also contributed greatly to Bayern's cause in his 'sweeper keeper' role, always ready to provide cover for Bayern Munich's backline by latching on to long balls and quelling PSG' breaks.
