Despite the extensive reforms made by Barcelona to his team this season, they did not intercede for the club to get out of the "vortex of losses" that accompanied it in recent years, especially its failure to avenge its rival Bayern Munich, and its loss against him with two goals without a response on Tuesday night in the second round. From the third group matches of the European Football Champions League.
Barcelona traveled to play the match outside its home at the Allianz Arena, armed with the capabilities of its coach Shabi, with his positive results this season, and with his promising deals, most notably the Polish Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich, but all this did not satisfy him in responding to the last three consecutive losses in the League Champions, I brought him together with Bayern, most notably the scandal of the 8-2 result in the quarter-finals.
The star of the team, Lewandowski, who excelled with Barca since the beginning of the season and scored in all the matches he played, including a hat-trick in the match that Barcelona won over Plzen 5-1, was unable to score against his former team, despite the multiple opportunities that he had. He had a chance, including being alone with goalkeeper Neuer, to leave the stadium where he was crowned top scorer in the German League six times in the past seven seasons with great disappointment.
The dilemma faced by Barcelona was that it was the best party in possession, and hit 18 balls on goal compared to 13 for the German team.
Barcelona coach Xabi Hernandez criticized his team, saying: "I'm angry, I don't like losing, we didn't deserve it.
Last year I was angry because (Bayern) was more powerful than my team, but I think we did better than Bayern tonight... We dominated Bayern and beat them.
We created a lot of chances to score, which could have changed the course of the match.
It's all about the details in the Champions League matches."
"At this level, all things are equal, and you pay the price for these mistakes," he added.
Xavi indicated that his team needs to reduce its mistakes.
After this unexpected loss for the Barca fans, there remains hope for compensation during the return match that brings him together with Bayern on October 26, whose slogan will be "announcing the breakthrough forward, or perhaps dedicating the knot."
