A mad game of football ended all square at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, as a hat-trick of Kinglsey Coman assists saved Bayerns blushes against top of the table rivals RB Leipzig.

The champions went behind, then ahead, then behind again and then level in perhaps the game of the season in German football so far in 2020/21.

Here are the Bayern player ratings from a pulsating, if not always defensively solid evening of fussball.

Bayern Munich

1. Goalkeeper & Defenders

Manuel Neuer (GK) - 4/10 - Mad a bad error of judgement in coming out patented sweeper-keeper style for Christopher Nkunku's opener, which set the tone for a mad afternoon.

Benjamin Pavard - (RB) - 6/10 - Possibly the best of Bayern's back four defensively, which isn't saying a great deal.

David Alaba - (LB) - 5/10 - Covering at left back in the absence of Lucas Hernandez, the Austrian was not as effective in the final third as he can be.

Jerome Boateng - (CB) - 4/10 - Replaced by Chris Richards late on, neither of Bayern's starting centre backs made a single tackle all game.

Niklas Sule - (CB) - 4/10 - Could hardly have made less effort for Leipzig's third if he tried. A fairly dismal afternoon for the big man.

2. Midfielders

Loen Goretzka - (CM) - 5/10 - Bayern's all-action hero was pretty subdued and too often bypassed in the engine room.

Javi Martinez - (CM) - 5/10 - Taken off midway through the first-half with an apparent groin injury.

Thomas Muller - (AM) - 8/10 - A brace for the Ramdeuter who remains just about the best in the biz at what he does.

3. Forwards

Leroy Sane - (RW) - 5/10 - The former Man City star continued his run of looking underwhelming when starting games for Bayern.

Kingsley Coman - (LW) - 9/10 - A hat-trick of assists for Coman the Bavarian, who was a cut above just about every other Bayern player.

Robert Lewandowski - (ST) - 6/10 - Created space well for Muller, but Lewandowski was oddly quiet himself and had just one shot on target.

4. Substitutes

Jamal Musiala - (CM) - 8/10 - Got Bayern back into the game with a wicked strike from the edge of the area. England/Germany, pray he chooses your country.

Serge Gnabry - (RW) - 6/10 - Similarly ineffective as Sane, unfortunately

Douglas Costa - (LW) - N/A

Chris Richards - (CB) - N/A
