"Under the bright lights of the Bernabéu, Bayern put out a statement with a 2-1 win of the competition's most charmed team. Invincibility aura? Smashed. And it was thanks to a stunning nine saves - several of them of extraordinary quality - that Bayern managed to pull it off."
"An error from Dayot Upamecano sent Kylian Mbappé in on goal, one-on-one - but the Bayern keeper was undeterred and, charging forward to meet the French national team super-striker, denied him just enough angle on the goal to force a shot into the side netting."
"The game ended with Neuer facing 37 touches in his own box (his counterpart, Andriy Lunin, faced 45). Yet the pressure did not faze him, and Neuer even grew into the game - by the end, he was doing his trademark Neuer things, rushing halfway to midfield to meet testing long balls and not getting a single one wrong."
