Allianz Arena
First Half — Live
The Allianz was already rising before the shot had even come, because the home end recognized the trap closing a half-second before United did.
Demien's hand was still out, still pointing to the safer side, when Kimmich stepped across the lane and the ball that Lindelöf had played was suddenly wearing a red shirt going the wrong way.
The noise built through the stadium in one continuous wave, climbing past the point where United had time to reset.
Kimmich didn't hold it. He shifted it forward first time, and Musiala was already turning onto it before it had fully arrived, his first touch spinning him clear of the space where Casemiro should have been standing.
Kane dropped off the front line into the pocket between United's midfield and back four, calm and unhurried, and Sané was already curving in from the right, bending his run inside before the ball had even reached Musiala's foot.
