#4 Sevilla successfully counter Bayern's diagonal switch in play
Switching the run of things diagonally was the Bavarians' most lethal weapon in the first leg at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium in Seville.
The likes of Jerome Boateng, Joshua Kimmich, and Rafinha played diagonal long balls to find Bayern players in space all the time. The same tactic helped Franck Ribery set up Thiago Alcantara's headed winner in that game.
Bayern attempted to break Sevilla's defence with the same ploy again but the Andalusians were up to the task this time.
Jesus Navas and Sergio Escudero were quick to spot the long balls and close down the empty men on the flanks. At the same time, Gabriel Mercado and Clement Lenglet were attentive enough to see off any crosses that the Bundesliga champions managed to put in.
