#2 Frightening movement in the final third

Bayern, courtesy of their impeccable movement down the various free zones of the pitch, made Spurs look static and flat.

The same could be explained through Gnabry's four goals. His first of course, was sensational and pulsating. But, the home side had to do a lot better there. Yet again, the movement, burst of pace and acceleration got the away crowd jumping on their feet.

The winger did exceptionally well to set off on a fine pace and leaving a lunging Serge Aurier for dead. There was still a lot left to do, and he completed his move brilliantly by beating Toby Alderweireld and launching a precise low effort on goal.

His goal two minutes later was on the back of splendid movement as well, as he rolled down the left flank to receive a steal from Tolisso and put the result beyond doubt.

The former West Brom forward once again, ran in behind the space left by Aurier to receive a clipped pass from Thiago, before drilling a composed finish for his hat-trick.
