With all the craziness going on elsewhere in the Champions League, Bayern Munich were happy to take a quiet night as their goalless draw with Sevilla was enough to push them into the semi-finals on a 2-1 aggregate.
Jupp Heynckes‘ side were relatively listless on the night in front of their home fans, but much wasn’t required as Sevilla couldn’t muster enough of an attack to send a scare into the Bundesliga giants.
The closest anyone came to finding the back of the net was on Joaquin Correa’s header after a free kick, which caromed off the crossbar.
Here are our Bayern ratings.
BAYERN MUNICH (4-2-3-1)
Sven Ulreich – 6: Had little to do as Sevilla struggled to threaten goal, aside from one header hitting the crossbar.
Joshua Kimmich – 7: Wasn’t flashy but did subtle things well to really make his presence felt on the night.
Jerome Boateng – 5: It appeared he had Correa marked on the free kick when the Sevilla man got a strong header on the ball and hit the crossbar.
Mats Hummels – 6: Didn’t have many opportunities to get involved in the action as the offence as a whole was stop-and-start.
Rafinha – 6: Peppered in his fair share of crosses but none of them found the mark.
Javi Martinez – 5: Nearly made a costly mistake with his attempt to play back to the goalkeeper, which was poorly hit and resulted in a chance for Sevilla.
James Rodriguez – 6: Had moments where he was in the box with the ball and could have capitalised, but left empty-handed.
Arjen Robben – 7: Produced his usual magic at times down the right flank, but couldn’t find a way to finish off any of his threatening runs.
Thomas Muller – 6: Wasn’t much of a factor in the middle as Bayern preferred to attack through the outside.
Franck Ribery – 7: Had Bayern’s best opportunity in the first half, sending a hard shot that swerved but ultimately went down the middle before being saved.
Robert Lewandowski – 6: It couldn’t be said that Lewandowski wasn’t sacrificing his body as he took several knocks before being subbed off in the 77th minute.
SUBSTITUTES
Thiago – 6: Was fairly anonymous in his 20 or so minutes.
Sandro Wagner – 6: Had some theatrics near the end, including an appeal for a penalty.
Niklas Sule – 6: Came on too late to play much of a role.
