Barcelona made the Champions League as a place of penance this season. Previously, Barca were not winners in LaLiga and Copa del Rey.
To achieve the dream, Barca played in a 4-4-2 formation. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez were played as attackers by Quique Setien.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich chose a 4-2-3-1 formation. Serge Gnabry and Ivan Perisic supported Robert Lewandowski from either wing.
Bayern Munich scored a goal in the 4th minute. Thomas Muller completed cooperation with Robert Lewandowski with a hard kick.
The match became even more interesting after Barcelona replied the goal just three minutes later. David Alaba scored an own goal after failing to properly anticipate a pass from the left.
Bayern Munich finally returned to the front in the 21st minute. Ivan Perisic’s shot could not be dammed perfectly by Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Six minutes later, FC Hollywood scored the third goal of the match. Serge Gnabry scored after utilizing Leon Goretzka’s bait. Clement Lenglet who was on guard couldn’t do much.
Bayern increasingly had the upper hand after Muller scored the game’s second goal in the 31st minute. Muller who was at the mouth of the goal snatched the bait from Joshua Kimmich. Bayern entered the dressing room with a 4-1 lead.
In the second half, Bayern did not relax their attacks. Meanwhile, Barcelona, who are already far behind, have reached a dead end.
Barcelona’s hopes became alive after Luis Suarez scored in the 57th minute. The former Ajax Amsterdam striker crossed the Bayern player and fired a shot into the corner of the net.

Disaster for Barcelona returned in the 82nd minute. Philippe Coutinho’s collaboration with Alaba was completed by Lewandowski, who did not get significant control from Barcelona players. The referee had time to review the goal through VAR. However, the goal turned out to be legitimate.
Coutinho did not want to miss giving a bitter pill for Barcelona. The Brazil international scored two goals, which came in the 85th minute and 89th minute, respectively.
On his first goal, Coutinho passed Ter Stegen who could not make much movement. Meanwhile, on the second goal, Coutinho took advantage of Thiago’s cross.
