Pressing masterclass! Bayern Munich's winners, losers and ratings in convincing win over Inter at San Siro

Leroy Sane:

No one at Bayern Munich will be as desperate as Sane to regain the Champions League title this season.

Now 26 and entering his prime years, the forward is out to prove that he made the right decision in agitating to leave Manchester City years ago.

Sane's Champions League campaign could not have got off to a better start, with the forward taking Joshua Kimmich's lofted pass down beautifully and finishing with ice-cold composure. He then forced the second with his intelligent movement.

Marcel Sabitzer:

Isn't it amazing what can happen if you give a new signing a little time to bed in?

Last season Sabitzer was dismissed as another Bayern signing made for the sake it, doomed to be lost in the midfield shuffle for all eternity. Tonight, he looked like the game-changing player we came to know and love during his time at RB Leipzig.

The Austrian buzzed around endlessly, strangling the Inter midfielder and allowing the visitors to dominate proceedings. In possession, he wasn't half bad either, and would have finished with a goal or assist on another day.

Julian Nagelsmann:

The main fuel critics of Nagelsmann have at their disposal is his poor Champions League performance last season.

The young coach is looking to put this right this term and this tactical display will go some way to addressing his doubters. Throughout proceedings, Nagelsmann's charges hunted in packs, making a usually-assured Inter side look extremely uncomfortable at points.

There are more tough tests to come for Nagelsmann in the group and beyond, but tonight can definitely be chalked up as a victory in more ways than one.

He emphasised his basics, the tactical bedrock he's known for, and it worked.

Samir Handanovic:

Simone Inzaghi opted to hand Andre Onana his long-awaited Inter debut between the sticks here, with incumbent No. 1 Handanovic dropping to the bench.

And over the course of 90 minutes Onana massively strengthened his case to become the Nerrazzurri's first-choice goalie, making 10 saves and keeping his side in it during the first half.

Handanovic always knew that the Cameroonian would usurp him eventually, and performances like this suggest the change will happen sooner rather than later.

Serge Gnabry & Jamal Musiala:

Competition for places in Bayern's front four is ludicrously intense, though that will not soften the blow of being dropped.

Still, there is plenty of time for Serge Gnabry and Jamal Musiala to work their way back into the starting line-up, as they've repeatedly showed Nagelsmann their qualities since the start of last term.

Danilo D'Ambrosio:

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

No one likes scoring own goals, but D'Ambrosio's was particularly embarrassing, with the 33-year-old stumbling into his own net after making a hash of clearing Sane's shot.

Not only did the defender endure a 'You've Been Framed' moment, he also looked pretty sluggish from start to finish.

Manuel Neuer (6/10):

Very little for the veteran to do. Swept up a few loose balls confidently.

Benjamin Pavard (7/10):

A dependable shift on the right-side of defence. Nothing too flashy.

Matthijs de Ligt (6/10):

Booked for a clumsy lunge just before the break. His passing was a highlight.

Lucas Hernandez (5/10):

Guilty of some heinous ball-watching early on. Settled down before letting his concentration lapse, which nearly gifted Inter a goal.

Alphonso Davies (7/10):

Pushed forward as he always does and stung Onana's palms with a decent effort in the first half.

Joshua Kimmich (7/10):

Set up Sane for the opener with a trademark lobbed pass. Ran the game for his side, collecting the ball from his centre-backs and distributing masterfully.

Marcel Sabitzer (8/10):

Did not give the Inter midfield a moment's rest. Sprayed some delicious passes out wide too.

Thomas Muller (7/10):

The heartbeat of much of Bayern's promising link-up play. Lacked his useful clinical edge in front of goal.

Kingsley Coman (7/10):

Excellent out of posession and sometimes dangerous with the ball.

Sadio Mane (7/10):

Fluid in his movement. Will be gutted to have not scored.

Leroy Sane (9/10):

Coolness personified to open the scoring in the first half and then created the second.

Leon Goretzka (6/10):

Enjoyed half an hour off the bench and looked comfortable.

Serge Gnabry (6/10):

Little involvement but stayed disciplined.

Dayot Upamecano (6/10):

Helped his side shore things up at the back in the closing stages.

Jamal Musiala (N/A)

A six-minute cameo.

Josip Stanisic (N/A)

Only introduced five minutes before the end.

Julian Nagelsmann (9/10):

One of his finest nights in Europe to date. Bayern blew Inter away during periods thanks to his well-organised press.
