As Bayern looked to break the deadlock in an important clash against St Pauli, the man to step up was young Musiala. Until his moment of magic, the visitors had struggled to break down their opponents and get the likes of Harry Kane involved in the game. But the 21-year-old picked the ball up outside of the box and hit the ball sweetly with his laces. It flew towards the goal, dipping over goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj and smashing the crossbar on its way in.

Musiala's goal was his sixth in five games and the youngster is proving to be a catalyst to Bayern's attacking play as they hunt down silverware in Kompany's first season. They may have been exposed against Barcelona but in Germany, the Bavarians look formidable and well on track to restore their status as champions.
