It was a really interesting day in the Champions League. Barcelona were the better side especially in the first half but the second half was way different. Bayern Munich made the score 2-0 in only four minutes. I still don't understand how Barcelona couldn't score even one goal despite having so many goal opportunities. Lewandowski was so ineffective this time and I wonder if it was related to playing against his old team. I had big hopes about Barcelona after making a progress under Xavi's management. Let's see if they will have their revenge in Camp Nou.

The thing is, in the game of football, the most important thing is to convert your chances. Barcelona dominated the first half and if the ball had run right for them they would have won this game or at least gotten a draw. This game proved that Barcelona are not yet back on track. Lewandoski’s was wasteful and not too active. I think Xavi needs to select his team base on the opponents. Frenkie De Jong should’ve started this game.

Honestly Barcelona should have themselves to blame because of not clinical in front of goal, Lewandowski was the major culprit, I don't expect such an experienced striker to miss such a clear scoring chances in a crucial match, the introduction of De Jong truly the change for Barcelona and could have made a difference had started the started the match, I believed Xavi must have learnt a lesson with wrong starting eleven, I must also commend Denbele who was very brilliant and impressive in the match, though there are more matches ahead I hope they will qualify for the next stage.

Looks like Barcelona with a better squad now can't win against Bayern. Actually the head to head of the two teams has shown that Bayern dominates
more than Barcelona. But I think with the change in Barcelona's squad, which is already much better, Barcelona should be able to avenge their defeat
in the previous season. It turned out that my guess was wrong, Bayern who lost Lewandowski were still very dangerous for Barcelona. Although
Bayern appear less convincing in the Bundesliga, at least Bayern can still show in the Champions League they are a strong team.

If we look at the statistics of the two teams, they are almost evenly matched, but what is interesting is how the choice of players and placement of
players made by Nagelsmann that makes Bayern appear more impressive. Which Nagelsmann put Mane in the winger position and fielded Musiala as
a starter. It makes Bayern's game better in my opinion, this defeat is a lesson for Xavi that Barcelona still has weaknesses. Hopefully Xavi can learn
from this defeat, and can make Barcelona appear even better, especially against a big team Xavi can learn to make a strategy for Barcelona that is
even more effective.
