But the score line doesn’t tell the actual story. Neither has it told the
heroic effort of Manuel Neuer. The Bayern goalkeeper did everything possible
from his side from preventing the deadly trio aka ‘MSN’ from scoring. But it
was the argentine magician, Lionel Messi who started the show with a brilliant
kick from just outside the box when Daniel Alvez snatched the ball from the
hero of FIFA world cup 2014, Mario Gotze. That goal was a huge relief for Team
Barcelona as their attacks were being destroyed by the German wall. And just
after three minutes of the first goal, it was Messi again. This time the scapegoat
was Jerome Boateng. He was literally grounded by the little genius and a little
chip over the head of Neuer, did the work for Barcelona. And lastly Bayern
Munich was thrown out of the game when Neymer made it 3-0 with the assistance
of Leo Messi. This two goals made Messi the all-timetop goal scorer of UEFA
champion’s league. Although Cristiano Ronaldo is just one goal behind him.
Before the match FC Bayern’s manager Pep Guardilo said, he had no clue how to
stop Lionel Messi, as he knew him very well while he used to coach Barcelona.
And it was Guardiola himself, who actually raised Messi up and made a legendary
figure in world football.

Bayern Munich definitely missed the experienced Dutch winger Arjen Robben in
the field, who is out due to an injury. The injury list for Bayern also
includes the name of Frank Riberry, another experienced soldier for the club.
And unlucky Thomas Muller and half-fit Robert Lewandowski also had to pay the
price. But Bayern still has a hope to qualify for the final if they can win the
second leg by a difference of minimum four goals. Although it seems little bit
uncomfortable for them to score 4-0 minimum against Barcelona who are really in
great form this season. But nothing is impossible in football. Just remember
how they came back against FC Port in the quarter final. Bayern skipper Philip
Lahm has also expressed that his team will fight back at their favorite Allianz
Arena, in front of their own supporters. But if Barcelona somehow manage to
score at least one valuable away goal against Bayern, then it’ll be literally impossible
for the German champion to qualify for the final. Scoring 5 goals in a single
game, against Barcelona, seems quite impossible in this season. The master
blaster manager, Pep Guardiola must have thought about the tactics and we have
to wait for the second leg to watch the implication by the players. In the
other hand, Barcelona manager Luis Enrique is also aware about the
consequences. It can be easily predicted that he will be a little bit defensive
mode for the second leg and wait for the scope to score at least one or two
goal. Then Barcelona will be surely in the way to Berlin for the Grand Finale
where they will meet either their old rival Real Madrid or the Italian giant
Juventas.
Let’s go for a head to head comparison for the match. Barcelona’s deadly trio
Messi, Neymar and Suarez look so aggressive this season that it seems they
don’t care any opposition they are playing against. Recently in La Liga, they
tore apart FC Cordova by defeating with a huge score line of 8-0 and a smart
win over Real Sociedad by 2-0. Whereas Bayern’s forward are Thomas Muller, who
can change any game at any moment, such a talented forward in recent times.
There will be the Polish striker Robert Lewandowski and Mario Gotzealongside
him. At midfield, Barca are well ahead than Bayern with the experience of
Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Ivan Rakitic and Xavier Mascherano. Bayern has Xabi
Alonso, who is very well known to Barca midfield as he used to play for the
Spanish giant Real Madrid. With him, Bayern has the vastly experienced Philip
Lahm and passionate Bastian Schweinsteiger. The defenders of both team seems to
be in equal position. With all these dichotomies, there is also a similarity
between these two teams. The both goalpost will be guarded by two German
keepers: Manuel Neuer and TerStagen. No matter what the forwards and
midfielders perform, this duo surely have to play the crucial role.
