Inter Milan Bayern Munich Player Ratings 2-2

German juggernauts Bayern Munich fell short against the mighty Inter Milan on Wednesday (April 16), crashing out of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals after a 4-3 aggregate defeat. 

Six-time European champions Bayern suffered a 2-1 defeat in the first leg at the Allianz Arena last week. However, considering they only had to overturn a one-goal deficit, the majority of Bayern fans fancied their chances. Unfortunately for the Bavarians, the Nerazzurri were a handful in front of their passionate fans at San Siro, and held them to a 2-2 draw.

Join us as we take a quick look at the match summary before jumping into Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich player ratings.

Inter Milan 2-2 Bayern Munich: Match Summary

Bayern lodged their first effort on target in the sixth minute, with the evergreen Thomas Muller superbly controlling Michael Olise’s pass before shooting at goal. Yann Sommer, however, was alert and made a comfortable save to deny his former teammate.

Inter defended like their lives were on the line before creating a couple of good opportunities themselves through Marcus Thuram and Hakan Calhanoglu. However, Jonas Urbig did not have to make a save. The last opportunity of the first half fell to Bayern man Leroy Sane. The former Manchester City man attempted a half-volley, but Sommer managed to hold on to it.

In the 52nd minute, Inter’s resilience finally gave way, with Harry Kane levelling the score with a thumping low strike through Federico Dimarco’s legs. Inter, however, did not trail for long, with frontman Lautaro Martinez drilling the ball home from close range following a botched clearance.

Three minutes later, Calhanoglu sent a peach of a corner into the corner. Ex-Bayern man Benjamin Pavard rose the highest and sent his thumping header past Urbig. With around a quarter of an hour left to play, Eric Dier steered Serge Gnabry’s cross into the Inter net, setting up an epic finale.

The Bavarians piled on the pressure in the dying embers of the game, but Inter refused to break.

Now, let us take a quick look at Inter vs Bayern Munich player ratings for the UCL quarter-final second leg.

Benjamin Pavard (7.5/10):

Took his goal superbly to knock his former team out of the Champions League. He also recorded eight clearances and two recoveries.

Francesco Acerbi (7/10):

The 37-year-old centre-back put in a great shift, making some excellent runs to put pressure on the Bayern Munich midfield. He also performed his defensive duties to perfection, making three interceptions, winning three of four aerial duels, and registering 10 clearances.

Alessandro Bastoni (6.5/10):

Had a decent outing but should have been more clinical with his long balls, as he only completed two of 11.

Matteo Darmian (7/10):

The former Manchester United defender dominated the right flank, carrying plenty of threat and lodging two efforts on target. The Italian also recorded six clearances and won three duels.

Nicolo Barella (6.5/10):

The talented midfielder had an off night by his lofty standards. He carried the ball well, completing two dribbles, but did not pose much of a threat to the Bayern defence.

Hakan Calhanoglu (7.5/10):

The deep-lying playmaker provided a superb assist to Pavard. He also won both his tackles, registered a couple of recoveries, and slipped three passes into the final third.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan (7/10):

Put in a massive shift in midfield, making four clearances, winning eight duels, and going for a couple of tackles. The ex-Manchester United midfielder also drew three fouls.

Federico Dimarco (7.5/10):

The goal between his legs aside, Federico Dimarco had a commendable game. He created two chances, won both his tackles, made five recoveries, and came out on top in three of four ground duels.

Marcus Thuram (6.5/10):

Marcus Thuram was too hot to handle for Bayern in the first leg, but he was not much of a threat on Wednesday night. The Frenchman had a couple of shots, with one landing on target.

Lautaro Martinez (8.5/10):

The captain, Lautaro Martinez, led the team by example. He scored an early goal to set the tone, pulled off as many as five dribbles, and won a game-high 13 duels. Things could not have gone much better for the Argentine forward.

Substitutes:

Carlos Augusto (73′), Mehdi Taremi (81′), Yann Aurel Bisseck (88), & Davide Frattesi (88′): No impact.

Jonas Urbig (6/10):

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Jonas Urbig conceded two goals, facing an xGOT of 1.18. He also misplaced 12 of 18 long balls.

Konrad Laimer (6.5/10):

The Austrian right back had a decent outing against the Nerazzurri. He created a couple of chances, delivered two accurate long balls, and won two of three tackles.

Scored brilliantly late in the second half to give Bayern Munich a fighting chance. He also delivered three accurate long balls, cleared the ball five times, won six of eight aerial duels, and registered five recoveries.

Min-Jae Kim (6/10):

Not the finest night of Min-Jae Kim’s career, as he should have dealt better with Lautaro Martinez for Inter’s equaliser. The South Korean also lost three of five aerial duels.

Josip Stanisic (6.5/10):

Showed plenty of drive going forward and created a fine goal-scoring opportunity. He was also excellent at the back, winning two tackles, making three recoveries, and winning two clearances.

Leon Goretzka (6.5/10):

Leon Goretzka was strong in possession and played two key passes against Inter. Showed his unselfish side to assist Harry Kane for the opening goal.

Joshua Kimmich (6/10):

Joshua Kimmich’s botched clearance led to Inter Milan’s equaliser. The German was also uncharacteristically quiet going forward, as he created just one chance throughout the night.

Michael Olise (7/10):

Playing three key passes, Michael Olise emerged as the game’s most frequent creator. He, however, should have done better in the final third, as all three of his shots were blocked.

Thomas Muller (7/10):

The 35-year-old served behind Harry Kane for most of the night, creating two chances. He also tested the keeper twice and won three ground duels.

Leroy Sane (6/10):

Only showed glimpses of his quality. Unable to make an impact, Leroy Sane left the pitch in the 65th minute.

Harry Kane (7.5/10):

The English striker will have to wait for at least one more season to get his hands on the UEFA Champions League trophy. But it was not due to a lack of trying, as he scored a fine goal and did his best to force mistakes out of Inter defenders.

Substitutes:

Serge Gnabry (65′) (7.5/10): Coming on for Sane, Serge Gnabry injected pace and promise to the Bayern attack. Gnabry, who completed three dribbles, also claimed an excellent assist for Dier.

Raphael Guerreiro (65′) (7/10): Created a couple of chances.

Aleksandr Pavlovic (83′) & Kingsley Coman (83′): No impact.
