Vincent Kompany has just accomplished something no Bayern coach has managed in over a decade.

So for this edition of the BFW Match Awards, we’ll do things a little differently. Jersey Swap The Jersey Swap is typically given to the player on the opposition team who caused FC Bayern the most grief. In this case we have three candidates.

Éder Militão was a seismic force at the back for Real Madrid. Whenever Bayern Munich managed to get a pass into the box, he was there to intercept it. The Brazilian’s game can be summed up by an incident in the middle of the second half, where Madrid lost the ball in transition.

Harry Kane looked up to see Luis Díaz running into space, and took a split second to fire a pass into his feet. At the same time, Militão looked up and stepped out of his defensive line, intercepting the pass meant for the Colombian. His combination of physical and cerebral play caused Vincent Kompany no small amount of headaches.
