#3 Red-hot Robert Lewandowski
With a stunning free-kick in the 28th minute, Lewandowski made it 24 goals in his last 24 games for club and country. Where would Bayern be this season without their Polish talisman and his goals?
It is not just his goalscoring ability that makes Lewandowski the threat that he is. He is strong, very good in the air, competent with the ball at his feet and is deceptively quick. Every aspect that you need in a striker, Lewandowski has.
This was his second sublime free-kick in as many games, having scored with a similar effort against Mainz last Friday in the Bundesliga. This is a testament to his excellent technique as well. On the night, Lewandowski gave both Diego Godin and Stefan Savic plenty of questions to answer.
On most occasions, the Atletico rearguard stood up and responded to the questions, but on the once occasion when it eventually mattered for the result, Lewandowski gave Jan Oblak absolutely no chance.
Along with Arjen Robben and Douglas Costa, Lewandowski was a constant threat all game. A threat that eventually brought Bayern their goal, the winning goal on the night.
