The player of the game: After last season was speculated in Munich, who can replace the emigrated Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben. Much of the answer is Serge Gnabry. He took Tottenham Hotspur to a new level and scored four goals. He was not only sensational in the conclusion, but also acted disciplined against the ball. This man can be expected.

The player of the game II: In his 50th game for Bayern, it was the first goals in the Champions League for Gnabry. A goal debut, which is unparalleled. In addition, it would have been a personal concern of the 24-year-old to meet for the first time against Tottenham. For archenemy Arsenal he made the first steps in the professional field, before he switched to the Bundesliga.

First Half: Anyone who has seen only the first 25 minutes of the game, will probably fall from the clouds in light of the final result. The Spurs were the better team, especially Tanguy Ndombélé and Son Heung-min prepared the Bayern big problems. Accordingly, Son earned the deserved lead (12th minute). Although Joshua Kimmich equalized with a beautiful shot a short time later (15.), Tottenham still had the better chances. Harry Kane's graduation passed Manuel Neuer, but was cleared by David Alaba (18th). Neuer then held on to Ndombélé (26 '), Robert Lewandowski's opening goal just before the break (45') set the pace for the second half.

Refrigerators before magicians: Both coaches decided before the game for physical player types in the center. At Tottenham Christian Eriksen remained on the bench, at Bayern Thiago. Because Alaba injured by a nasty kick from Serge Aurier, who was not penalized red, Thiago came after the break. Kimmich moved back into defense for it was to be the beginning of the end of Spurs. Thiago did a great job. Also Eriksen was strong after his substitution, but only on the offensive. A distance shot parried Neuer (66.). It would have been the first goal for 3: 4. After that, he found defensive not like his teammates.

Second half: There are few words about how incredibly cool Gnabry is in front of the opponent's goal. There are no words for how badly Tottenham defended in the second round. Although coach Mauricio Pochettino moved aggressively, a last year's finalist may not fall apart like that. And that's less about the coach than about players who make catastrophic mistakes. Like Toby Alderweireld before the fifth Bayern goal, as he fit the ball almost unrestrained in the foot of Thiago.

Spurs debacle: On June 1, the Spurs were in the Champions League final, four months later, they have suffered one of the worst defeats in their club's history. Seven home away goals - that's never been for North Londoners. A new low for a shaky started in the season team, which was conspicuous recently by a defeat against a fourth division in the League Cup. Pochettino will have to set up his team and remember the past season: At that time, the Spurs were already six points behind the second after just one point after the third match of the group stage - and yet reached the knockout stage with a well-known outcome.

Freudenblutgrätsche: When cheering together after the final whistle, the player of the game was lucky to escape a lengthy injury. Defensive man Niklas Süle sat in exuberance to a huge bloodstains, which took the four-goal scorer from the legs. Luckily for Süle, Gnabry immediately got up again - otherwise he would have secured a permanent place in the football history books for the dumbest injury of a teammate ever.
