Real Madrid

Iker Casillas 7

A year ago Borussia Dortmund and Robert Lewandowski were putting four past Diego López. Sanity, and the captain, are back now

Daniel Carvajal 7

Faced with the twin threat of Alaba and Ribéry down his flank, the Real right-back would have expected a far harder night

Sergio Ramos 7

When he is not getting sent off he reminds everyone of his quality as a fine defender and organiser. Will need to do so again in Munich

Pepe 7

The elusive talents of Thomas Müller may have troubled him more than Mandzukic, whom he dominated before limping off

Fábio Coentrão 7

With a strict brief to stick to Robben like glue he diligently did so and even found time to get forward well and set up the goal

Luka Modric 7

Had clearly been given some extra defensive duties by Ancelotti. He struggled to hold off Bayern's central trio early on but improved

Xabi Alonso 8

The former Liverpool man is so pivotal to this Real side as the shield in front of the back four, and he was not found wanting

Isco 6

Came into the side and was asked to double up on Robben. Worked hard but was booked and replaced for last 10

Ángel di María 6

Argentinian will regret the moment he missed a golden chance to make it 2-0 before half-time and could not fill Bale's boots on Real's right

Karim Benzema 6

Had barely touched the ball before giving his side the lead and he didn't do much after, but was in the right place at the right time

Cristiano Ronaldo 7

Declared fit after a week-long pantomime, supplied key ball for Benzema's goal but guilty of a glaring miss before going off early

Bayern Munich

Manuel Neuer 6

Was such a strong doubt with a calf injury that Guardiola selected two keepers on the bench. He came through but had no chance with the goal

Rafinha 5

Exposed for the goal and again for Ronaldo's awful miss, Guardiola may regret starting him ahead of Lahm at right-back

Dante 6

The big Brazilian does not always look dependable and was partially culpable for the goal. Often too far away from Benzema

Jérôme Boateng 6

Seemed to be close enough to Coentrão to cut out the cross for the goal but failed to get there and his side paid the price

David Alaba 6

Austrian left-back loves to get forward but did not have his usual impact here as his link-up play with Ribéry came up short

Bastian Schweinsteiger 6

Returned from his Rooney-induced suspension and was as combative as ever but lacked the dynamism to really hurt Real

Phillipp Lahm 6

Guardiola likes to rotate his captain between right-back and midfield but he didn't have enough impact in the centre

Arjen Robben 7

Dutchman saw plenty of the ball on return to the Bernabéu but, hard though he tried, could not find an opening for that vital away goal

Toni Kroos 6

Arrived in the box with his trademark runs early in the game which promised more, but could not get past the excellent Alonso

Franck Ribéry 5

Would have expected to prosper up against Carvajal but made very little impression before making way for Götze on 72 minutes

Mario Mandzukic 6

The Croat is something of a strange fit for this star-studded Bayern side. A surprise starter and he struggled to have any impact
