As if it had not happened in Stamford Bridge but in Ascot, Bayern chose to ride as a way to remind Europe that pedigree and history still count and that a list of European Cup candidates is not acceptable without their presence. The German team cut the wind and knocked down a Chelsea curled up in its little straw house, imploring without success the end of the German storm. And perhaps the worst is yet to come for those in Lampard, because there is no way to imagine a scenario in Munich that can sweeten the embarrassment suffered. [Narration and statistics: 0-3]

It was the night of Lewandowski, that of Gnabry, the 19-year-old Canadian pearl that responds to the name of Alphonso Davies. It was Bayern in its purest form: sharp, vertical, blunt in both areas ... The duel matured in the first half and it burst in the second with a football exhibition like (not yet) seen in these round of 16 which positions him as a serious aspirant to inherit the crown of Liverpool. Because his superiority was expected in front of this grotesque and penitent Chelsea, but not such a prodigious performance at Stamford Bridge.

The mournful Lampard had traced the eleven that the weekend had served to defeat the Tottenham after a long time of anxiety. It was actually a desperate experiment, but it worked out well, so it was reasonable to repeat it last night. It happens that, right now, depressive Tottenham and Hansi Flick's team have little to do with each other. That resulted in Lampard's plan being as fruitless as it was reckless. Always very broken, Chelsea was unable to control the ball in his field and that stubbornness made him lose it in areas of maximum danger against a Bayern with a lot of fang in the pressure after loss and with the ability to alternate with harmony short and long passes in the positional attack.

For his football, Bayern deserved much more in the first half, but his inability in the definition - including a header to the crossbar of Müller, the best in that section - and a couple of good actions of Caballero kept intact the initial 0-0 . He could not stand it much, since Bayern immediately opened the right goal tap. In three minutes, from 51 to 54, Lewandowski and Gnabry unmasked Chelsea mercilessly. On both occasions, the Pole contained his murderous instinct to act as an assistant to his partner, as precise in the germ of the plays as in the subsequent definitions at the door.

The final sentence came later in a Davies ride that gave the third to Lewandowski, the star of the game with a goal and two assists. And the result could have been even more scandalous if the referee and the VAR had not ignored a clamorous penalty by Christensen. Chelsea ended up insane, with Marcos Alonso ejected by an elbow, and surrendered to the evidence that a world of this Bayern is far from happy to see football play.
