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.
Actually, Barcelona's game in this match was quite dominant, especially in the first half, but unfortunately their game was not very well organized. Many of the opportunities they get are just wasted. But in the second half El Barca's game was so chaotic, that Bayern immediately punished them. I see there are some technical things that Xavi needs to improve immediately, up front, Raphinha is not very effective, he is too hasty in opening shots, so Lewandowski's role is not very visible. Then the midfield also didn't look very creative and the most chaotic in defence, Christensen and Araujo were really very fragile in the second half, making it very easy for the Munich attack to penetrate. I believe this defeat is an important note for Xavi to immediately fix his squad.
