Bayern looked super sharp for a team that was 7th in the league and lost two in a row.
Thiago and Kimmich bossed midfield and their attacking players, take your pick of Coman, gnabry, Coutinho, Perisic loved the amount of possession we gave them.
Dier and sissoko couldn't hold onto, or progress the ball, and it felt like Mourinho just wanted us to hit balls long over the top for Moura/Sessegnon to run onto.
Lo Celso was okay, but never had enough of the ball to shine, Sessegnon scored a cracker and Foyth looked decent enough.
But for a game Spurs fans, and Mourinho were talking about as if it would be a dead rubber of a training match, Bayern definitely didn't get the memo, tempo was high, passing was crisp, sharp in the press. Wouldn't want to face them in the next round, despite them looking a bit shaky at the back (we did have a couple of opportunities Son and Sissoko were culpable in not making the score more presentable) think offensively they'll make it a hard game for anyone..
