Flick’s Barça showed that now they do not temporize and wait for their moment, but rather attack ruthlessly and make their own luck. Against Bayern Munich, the Bavarians dominating in the first half, the Blaugrana took advantage of the few concessions that the rival allowed to show off their punch. And in that scenario, a natural goalscorer like Robert Lewandowski, who did not celebrate the goal against his former team, won the prize.
Fermín was mischievous to take the ball, with a light touch to Kim Min-Jae, on the edge of the foul, and the Andalusian still had time to anticipate Neuer’s departure to give the ball to the Polish striker, who scored into an empty goal , too late Upamecano to avoid the inevitable. It was the striker’s first goal against a German team with a foreign team.
Montjuïc was bursting with euphoria, at that moment with 2-1 in favor of the Blaugrana, but Lewandowski, oblivious to the celebration, only made a gesture of asking forgiveness from Bayern and its fans for the eight years he spent in Munich.
Barça took the lead 58 seconds into the game with a goal from Raphinha, who scored into an empty goal after dodging Neuer with a dribble. From that moment on, Kompany’s team took over the ball and the game, creating a sense of danger in each attack.
Raphinha was the other protagonist of the first half with a double
Kane managed to score, but he was offside, and shortly after the English forward put the momentary tie with an acrobatic shot. Barça then reacted, with more presence in the rival field, and Lewandowski scored. Just before half-time, Raphinha scored his double with a goal with his right leg. The Brazilian expanded his display later with a hat-trick.
