Goalkeeper

Nediljko Labrovic, Augsburg

In the end, he conceded three goals against Bayern – two of them from the penalty spot – but he wasn’t to blame for any of them. In fact, he kept Augsburg in the game for a long time and ended up making a total of 11 saves in the match.

An incredibly solid display from the Bayern centre-back, who won all five of his duels, completed 96 percent of his passes and made two key passes.
