Despite a long list of absentees Bayern Munich has not abandoned on Wednesday evening style of play, which the team expects German champion Pep Guardiola. The Bavarians at the Camp Nou did not resign from their ability to press, but the prevalence of individual skills as well as home field advantage meant that Barcelona has established itself with more situations to score. It is true that guests had outstanding in goal for Manuel Neuer, but Leo Messi found a way and at him. In stoppage time słynniejszego the footsteps of his colleague also he followed Neymar, although his hits would not be without the assistance of scrimmage and of course none other than the phenomenal Argentine.
Best player of the match
for 75 minutes it seemed to be that it was goalkeeper of Bayern deserve to be called a footballer of the meeting. However, the last quarter belonged to Messi, who on Wednesday night was playing the 100th match in European competition (including the UEFA Super Cup). First Argentine magician beat Neuer shot from outside the area left foot, and 120 seconds later screwed into the ground Jerome Boateng, then podcinką right leg deceived goalkeeper rivals for the second time.
Worst football match
Yes, we realize that stopping Leo Messi and Dani Alves circulating it is no easy matter. Additionally, Thiago may be partly justified performance at an unusual position for himself left midfielder. But it was his, and the Spaniard Juan Bernat consider to be the worst players of this meeting. Especially in the offensive could be expected from them more, because with the defensive system of Barcelona’s half of the Blaugrana a lot of space when the final lines. Bayern duo was not able to take advantage of. Additionally it on their website there was a loss, after which a few seconds later, Messi scored the first goal.
A crucial step
Bayern without conceding a goal survived the first half and after the change of sides with every passing minute Pep Guardiola’s players begin getting themselves freely at the Camp Nou. Although they were not able to formulate his clear position to score, so at least the team kept players away from their own goal. Messi’s goal with 77 minutes, however, everything changed and the Bavarians finally went with three goals loss.
The controversy
Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli showed six yellow cards the players and sometimes it seemed that it gave away too easily. However, the error did not commit, and the only controversy raised situation of 76 minutes while the ball from the free kick into the penalty area visitors fell Neymar. The arbitrator ruled that Bayern defender Rafinha fouled his compatriot not.
Numbers game
8 – as calculated service Opta Sports, so 100 percent. the situation in the Champions League this season, Robert Lewandowski wasted. Polish national team captain is unfortunately a leader in this classification. And if not this important goal Messi, about which we wrote this thing, “Left” of 18 minutes can be considered a watershed moment. Who knows how the match would have rolled if the Polish striker took advantage of the best opportunity for Bayern in Barcelona.
111 – as many goals this season in all competitions have scored a trio of Messi, Neymar and Suarez. It’s just six goals less than Bayern won the whole team.
Our opinion
After 75 minutes and with a goalless draw zacieraliśmy hands at the thought of equally fascinating return leg at the Allianz Arena. The last quarter, however, changed everything and although in the quarterfinals Bayern applied the FC Porto until six goals in the second leg meeting, the repetition of achievement against Barcelona is a challenge completely different caliber. Especially that Pep Guardiola’s charges have to not only beat three times Marc Andre ter Stegen, but also to keep a clean sheet. Against Barcelona and a trio of MSN, even excellent Manuel Neuer is not able to guarantee this.
