This is a bit of a controversial choice because it is more of an âeye testâ selection rather than raw numbers. The 24-year old Austrian midfielder provided a number of smooth passes that opened up space for Wolfsburgâs attack and created high quality chances. On the defensive end, he constantly stymied Nicolas Jackson and Jamal Musiala when they cut in from Bayernâs left flank looking for a shot but ran into the brick wall of Wimmer instead. It was a shame that Wimmerâs night ended early in tears when Viniciusâ late challenge on Harry Kane took out Wimmer, too.
On the other end of the spectrum, Kim earned this award purely by the numbers. Despite being under fire for the entire first half, Kim helped the defense keep a clean sheet with three blocked shots, two interceptions, two clearances (including one off the goal line), and a 96% passing rate on 65 touches. At 29-years -old, Kim is still mentally struggling with the up-tempo pace of the Bundesliga. He tends to overcompensate with excessive effort that puts him in precarious positions. Nonetheless, he had a better night than the rest of the defenders.
It was a pretty lazy outing for most of Bayernâs starters, but Kimmich looked relatively fresh moving the ball around to secure Bayernâs 69% possession rate that gradually wore down Wolfsburg. The captain covered a lot of ground and kept the engine running. Tom Bischof was permitted the freedom to roam around the pitch and Kimmich did a fantastic job reading Bischofâs movements to maintain a healthy shape.
To be perfectly clear, Olise only earned this award because he had a singular moment of brilliance that ultimately proved to be the key moment in the game. Against a reeling relegation side, Bayernâs offense was lazy, inefficient, and severely lacking in creativity. Olise did not put any defenders on skates or break their ankles. Harry Kane did not convert a penalty kick. Jamal Musiala did not turn the opponents into a bunch of gargoyles with highlight reel plays. Nicolas Jackson did not poach a goal because he was out of position. Luis DĂaz and Lennart Karl did not bring any extra energy off the bench. Granted this was a throwaway game, Bayern could have blown off a bunch of steam with a 5-0 rout that kept them on pace for the all-time scoring record. Instead, the PSG hangover was in full effect and the biggest losers were the spectators.
Truth be told, Jonas Urbig was the leading candidate for every Bayern award at the halftime whistle. As a defender, he delivered a variety of saves off his face, fingertips, and every other body part. He was the lead distributor in the midfielder with his dangerous darts that constantly left Wolfsburgâs defense with zero time to react. Given the ineptitude of the entire offense, Urbig seemed just as likely to score as anybody else. The stats showed that Wolfsburgâs xG was well over three goals but somehow Urbig held the clean sheet with five saves. This is the kind of magic that Manuel Neuer produced for most of his career that endeared him to Bayern fans. Urbig turns 23 in August and has a reasonable opportunity to become the number one goalkeeper for Bayern and Germany over the next decade. He has the core skill set to succeed with both squads. He only lacks the experience to avoid some of the mental mistakes. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributorâŠ*
