Champions League: Bayern Munich crushes Barça silenced – franceinfo

Deprived of the setting of the great Champions League evenings for many months, the Camp Nou had a great opportunity to vibrate Tuesday, September 14. There was a revenge to be taken exactly two years and one month after the humiliation received against Bayern Munich at the start of the Lisbon Final Four (2-8). But it has not happened. For his first post-Lionel Messi C1 match, Barça could only see the superiority of the Bavarians (0-3) and their own shortcomings.

No such prolific scenario this time, but a constant feeling of helplessness. Because the 90 minutes passed without the slightest shot on target from the Catalans (only 5 attempts in total), or even a shiver on the spine of Manuel Neuer. It must be said that Ronald Koeman had only fielded two offensive players: Memphis Depay and Luuk De Jong. The first was determined but too lonely when the second seemed as slow as it was ghostly.

But if it is necessary to identify the symbol of the Catalan rout, the third goal conceded is the most concrete illustration. The Bavarians were able to chain two shots and a feint between the two against defenders on the ground for Robert Lewandowski to achieve his double (85th). The Pole had already found the fault in the same way in the 56th minute, much quicker than Ronald Araujo after a strike on the post from Jamal Musiala. Insatiable, he has now scored in 18 consecutive games in all competitions with Bayern.

The first blow was struck by Thomas Müller in the first period (34th), with a strike from outside the area deflected by the posterior of an Araujo turning his back to him. Seventh goal in six games against Barça, nobody does better than him against the Catalans in the Champions League. The years go by and look the same, Müller and Lewandowski plant and Bayern smile. Julian Nagelsmann’s players are already leaders in Group E, with two points ahead of Dynamo Kiev and Benfica who were held in check at the same time (0-0).
