What went wrong for Bayern Munich in Barcelona?
Bayern Munich succumbed to a second consecutive defeat in the Champions League as FC Barcelona clinched a comfortable 4-1 win against them on Wednesday.
On matchday three of the UEFA Champions League, Bayern Munich suffered a rude awakening at the feet of Barcelona as the home team impressively won by a score of 4-1. Despite conceding the first goal in the opening minute, Bayern initially responded well to draw level during the first half. However, more disjointed play from the visitors resulted in the initiative being handed back to Barcelona who scored twice again before the half-time whistle to go into the break with a two goal lead.
In what was expected to be a game of high-line defense and breath-taking attacking play from both teams, Bayern fans have every reason to be disappointed. Let us look at key factors that contributed to Die Roten's poor showing in Spain on Wednesday.
