Borussia Dortmund
Roman Weidenfeller
A string of brilliant saves in the first half, including the faintest of touches to tip Mandzukic's header onto the bar, helped keep his team in control of proceedings. He stayed big in one-on-ones and produced more great stops from Alaba and Schweinsteiger. 8/10
Neven Subotic
Stayed tight
to the opponents and kept an eye on the movement of Mandzukic. A bad decision
gave Robben the space to supply the opener but redeemed himself with a
brilliant goal-line clearance late on. 7/10
Mats Hummels
Looked a bit shaky
as he struggled to read the game well and allowed the opposition to find space
in behind him. His distribution was not the best as a number of his long passes
forward were wayward. 5/10
Lukasz Piszczek
Did well to
minimise the threat of Ribery for much of the game, only allowing him to get in
a single cross in the first half. This required him to be a bit more reserved
than usual in attack and so his combination with Blaszczykowski suffered. 7/10
Marcel Schmelzer
The left-back
was adventurous early on but soon had to ease off as Robben began to find a
large amounts of space in behind him. He failed to help provide a threat for
BVB down their left flank and was slow to come across and provide cover. 4/10
Sven Bender
Hunted the
ball down in midfield and this forced Bayern to play direct for much of the
first half. He disrupted the play impressively and was not afraid to move
forward with a few late runs. 6/10
Ilkay Gündogan
A tireless performance from the young
midfielder as he pressed quickly when out of possession. Showed composure
beyond his years on the ball, slotting home a penalty and feeding his
team-mates impressively. 8/10
Jakub Blaszczykowski
Put Bayern on
the back foot with his running but did not get at them enough. His 14th-minute
effort was kept out by a great Neuer save and it proved to be his only chance
of the game. He tracked back effectively in the second period. 6/10
Kevin Großkreutz
Failed to
offer much attacking intent down BVB's left in what was a fairly ineffectual
performance. He worked hard and helped provide some extra defensive cover, but
his influence in the final third was minimal. 5/10
Marco Reus
Glided across
the forward line to great effect. He sent in some decent crosses when drifting
out to the right and his agility and speed also made him a constant danger when
dribbling at the Bayern defence. 7/10
Robert Lewandowski
The Poland
striker's elusive movements made it hard for Boateng and Dante to pick him up.
He was excellent with his back to goal, but after being denied by Neuer twice
he faded out of the game in the second half. 6/10
Substitutions

Came on for
Sven Bender in the 92nd minute.
