But Bayern, despite a personnel crisis, put every fear to bed and delivered a dominant performance and, for the first time ever, won a Champions League game against Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano. Our awards from the game:Jersey Swap: Marc PubillAtlético put on a very weak showing tonight and allowed Bayern to control the game for the most part. They positioned themselves well in the first half to make it difficult for Bayern to get into the right angles to shoot, but began to unravel in the second half, which was a flurry of constant Bayern chances. That said, of the team, Pubill was playing out of position on the flank and delivered a decent showing, orchestrating one of their few attacks early on. He wins this award for stepping up, but truly, the Atlético team did themselves no favours.(Dis)honorable Mention: Josip StanišićStanišić has been in a seemingly endless run of poor form, and today was no different. Stanišić killed far too many Bayern attacks and seemed confused going forward. There were poor instances from him defensively as well, which had to be cleaned up by Jonathan Tah. When will it end? And when will Bayern stop playing him? Yes, the injury situation is far from ideal — but Stanišić has been more harmful than helpful as of late. Der Kaiser: Dayot UpamecanoThere is an argument to be made that Dayot Upamecano is, at the moment, the most important player to this Bayern team. Tonight was another unbelievable showing both defensively and going forward. There were countless times Upamecano drove forward and started attacks on his own, escaping pressure from a well-structured Atlético team and making the right decision every time. When he had the ball, the tempo of the game would instantly shift in Bayern’s favour. Defensively, it was practically impossible to get past him. He fought for and won almost every ball, tracking back with great speed and putting in tackles that made fans cheer. His header to make it 3-0 should have stood too, as it would have been the cherry atop his performance, but it was bizarrely disallowed.You’d think performances like his tonight would be rather rare, but Upamecano has shown this level time and time again. He is absolutely up there as one of Bayern’s most important players given the manner in which he influences the entire length of the pitch. He could very well have been MOTM, but was only slightly
