Player Ratings: India 0-4 Bayern Munich

The Salgaocar SC keeper was left at the mercy of the Bayern Munich attackers by his defenders but gave a good account of himself, making a couple of sharp stops. He tried to calm the nerves of the defence in front of him, largely to no avail. Subbed at half-time.

Tried his best to hold fort down the left but was increasingly pegged back in defence and was eventually overpowered into submission by Arjen Robben. The wing-back was much more comfortable when up against Takashi Usami.

The Churchill Bros defender was supposed to be the experienced man in central defence for India but seemed the most nervous of the lot. Failed to clear the ball on several occasions and was nowhere on the scene as the Bavarian attackers scored one goal after another in the first half. A slightly improved performance in the second half.

Was roasted by the trio of Lahm, Kroos and Muller repeatedly, as he found himself out fought and out thought on the right of India’s defence. He will have to take a big portion of the blame for atleast two of the goals as he was easily pushed out of the way by Muller and tricked by Kroos for another goal. The East Bengal player improved in the second half.

Did nothing to help out Nabi against Robben and Rafinha on the left. Except one run into the opposition area, he offered nothing in attack and failed to hold on to possession for India. The Goan was replaced by Ralte in the second half.

Returning into the Indian squad after a gap, Masih did little to justify his selection as he completely failed in his task to protect the back four and was easily bypassed by the opposition in the midfield. Rightfully taken off at half-time.

Lamare was part of an almost non-existent central midfield and did little to protect his defence. Going forward his only contribution of note was a ball over the Bayern defence that almost found Bhaichung. Put out of his misery at half-time by Savio Medeira.

The debutant showed much more energy than several of his more experienced colleagues and tried to help out Chettri in defence as well as bombing forward on the rare occasion that India had the ball. Showed some promise for the future before being replaced by Jewel Raja.

Bhutia’s final match in national colours, but he showed his class as he continuously pressed the Bayern defence when possible and won a few good headers and tried to hold-up the ball for the team whenever possible. With Jeje playing alongside him, he threatened much more in the second half. As has been the case for a lot of the last few years, he was the best Indian player on the pitch. Received a well deserved standing ovation when he came off in the 84th minute.

Shock starter ahead of Jeje Lalpekhlua, Sushil was starved of service and didn’t show the same type of application as his strike partner. Didn’t grab the chance handed to him by Savio Medeira.

Could very well have been sitting in the stands in the first half. He had basically nothing to do but was a more involved in the second half as India threatened sporadically. On one instance he came out of his box and was beaten to the ball by Jeje but luckily wasn’t punished for it.

A nice and easy evening for the former Manchester City player. With not much to do in defence apart from an odd interception now and then, he almost stepped up to play as an additional midfielder. Was a bit more tested in the second half.

Was untroubled like his central defensive partner and mopped up all the long balls thrown forward by the Indians.

Played more as a left winger and seemed to enjoy the attacking license given to him. Shrugged off the attention of Chettri on countless occasions and linked up well with his team-mates upfront.

Neat display by the youngster. Linked up well with Muller and picked up an assist before being replaced at half-time.

Didn’t always get it all his way against Nabi but as the first half progressed he gradually got the better of the Indian defender. Always a threat down the right wing as he looked to cut in and either have a shot at goal or release a team-mate into the box.

The Ukranian kept it nice and simple, picking up the ball from his defenders and passing it forward to his more gifted team-mates. The midfielder was subbed as Jupp Heynckes rotated his line-up.

Grabbed a goal with a trademark effort from outside the box. Sprayed the ball around effectively and popped up everywhere in India’s half to cause chaos. He was much quieter in the second half.

The Brazilian had nothing to worry about in defence and had all the space he could have asked for in attack. Didn’t have the same effect upfront as his captain Lahm on the other wing.

The supreme goal poacher scored with a miss-hit effort to open the flood-gates in the first half. Held up play nicely and did well to set-up Schweinsteiger for his long-range effort.
