WATCH: Saul gives Atletico the lead with solo effort

With Diego Simeone's side starting the better, it was left to an individual moment of magic from Saul Niguez to give the Spanish side a deserved lead.

Picking the ball up in central midfield, the 21-year-old skipped past a couple of challenges before gliding towards the opposition penalty area.

A quick change of feet leaves three Bayern players - Xabi Alonso, Thiago Alcantara and Juan Bernat - for dead before the Spaniard stands up David Alaba and curls a left-footed effort into the far-corner off the bottom of the post.

It's a goal that will no doubt add an extra £5m to the Spanish Under 21 star's asking price in tomorrow's gossip columns.

Twitter, the sometime bastion of quick-thinking and ingenuity, was awash with predictable responses to Saul's opening goal.
