Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, Vinícius Júnior, Toni Kroos: a few names who got good notices for their performance last night in the Bayern-Real match. Also mentioned positively in dispatches: the referee Clément Turpin and his VAR team of Jérôme Brisard and Willy Delajod. They let the game flow; Brisard made a series of quick and confident on-pitch decisions, and there were no interminable pauses caused by frantic forensic tape-spooling, despite the award of two penalty kicks. Marvellous. Helping out Anthony Taylor in the VAR room tonight? Stuart Attwell and David Coote, two other regular stars of the PGMOL’s popular light-entertainment vehicle Match Officials Mic’d Up. It’s going to be a fun evening of compare and contrast. Mind you, if tonight’s game, officiated under the auspices of Uefa, goes as smoothly as last night’s, it might be worth finding out exactly what Howard Webb is telling these poor chaps to do back home.
Borussia Dortmund are coming off the back of a miserable 4-1 loss at RB Leipzig, and make three changes. Marcel Sabitzer, Ian Maatsen and captain Emre Can replace Salih Özcan, Felix Nmecha and Marius Wolf, who all drop to the bench.
