The day that FC Barcelona confirmed its elimination from the Champions League, it also had to deal with an indecipherable Bayern Munich. The culés went back to fall in a night in which they did not know how to read the game of the bavarians
A FC Barcelona defeated little could do in the visit of the Bayern of Munich. The mental weight of the elimination of the Champions League, that confirmed with the goleada of the Inter to Viktoria Plzen (4-0), happened him bill to the blaugrana. The team trained by Xavi Hernández played against a Bavarian picture very 'enchufado', but also against his own ghosts that gathered remembering him that, by second consecutive season, will play the phase of play-offs of the Europe League.
It is a 'blow' historical, especially by what means after all the efforts in this last summer. Xavi spoke that the Champions League was being cruel with the Barça and, of some way, is checking . Against the Bayern, this Wednesday, the Barcelona group had the intention to show voluntarioso of beginning, but front had a team that only thought in winning. It did not see brown neither another alternative and left in 'UCI' to the culés with a new defeat in a crash in which neither kicked to goal.
The defensive fragility of the Barça was the main 'culprit' that the picture trained by Julian Nagelsmann, with few occasions, advanced very soon in the electronic, something that allowed them settle and show intractable; not to leaving him to the culés surpass the centre of the field. Sadio Mané Received a precise pass and measured in front of the coverage of Héctor Bellerín, portrayed in the played, to win him the back. The ex of the Liverpool planted in the area, surpassed the exit of Ter Stegen and commanded it to the deepest of the network.
The culés were aturdidos and surpassed. And this the Bayern does not forgive it. Happened the half hour of party, arrived the second of the night. Choupo-Moting Received in the right band, in career, put in the 'kitchen' and defined in front of Ter Stegen as it wanted to after Héctor Bellerín broke the offside. The Barça was happening it very bad and with few options to react, especially because the VAR went back him to play against: In the 44', Lewandowski received the balloon inside the area and Matthijs of Ligt him arrolló, causing that Anthony Taylor pitara the maximum penalty, but afterwards was to the monitor and withdrew it because the first Dutch had touched the balloon.
A new vase of cold water
In the resumption, the men of Xavi tried to advance lines and Ousmane Dembélé was monopolising the attack, but cost him connect with his mates. He could not only, but neither 'contributed' so that they had collective differences. The Bayern, by his part, devoted to play to half gas but even like this was a lot of more dangerous that the blaugrana, that did not attain to intimidate to Ulreich.
The history could be even worse for the Barça, that saw how cancelled the third of the Bayern in the 55'. The culés did not achieve to react and Xavi Hernández saw forced to do that his team was more offensive, with Raphinha and Ferran in the terrain of game, but unchanged 'clear' to surpass the couple of Bavarian head offices, that was calm and without difficulties. The Bavarian picture gave continuity to the drama in the last sigh with a goal of Pavard, after a shot of corner, that found to the alone footballer in the second stick to finish a balloon crossed.
A new history
The Barça will go back to play the Europe League, but before has a lot that learn. It is a team under construction and it is necessary to give time to that the pieces of the puzzle fit, no only in the sportive but also in the mental section. The way is very long and will have a few difficulties, but is now or never. It is to wake up or follow falling of way estrepistosa; something that can not follow allowing...
