A machine. A tsunami. One ... Put whatever adjective you want. Bayern Munich ran over Barcelona in the first half and crushed it like a German tank would crush an ant ...
There is not much history that the Catalan team, with its Argentine captain Lionel Messi on the court, has suffered such a slap. The two goals from Thomas Muller plus those from Ivan Perisic and Samuel Gnabry were a tremendous blow for the cast directed - until this Friday - by Quique Setién.
There is a precedent that is close to this gale of goals that Ter Stegen's goal endured. It is the second game of the Champions League in which Barça has received three goals in the first half hour of play. It also happened in 2005, at Stamford Bridge, against Chelsea, with goals from Gudjohnsen (7 minutes), Lampard (16m) and Duff (18m).
But the reality is that Barcelona has conceded 4 goals in the first half of an official match for the second time in the last 67 years. It also happened to him on February 13, 1994 at La Romareda, in a memorable match that ended 6-3 in favor of Real Zaragoza, but they had gone into halftime with the 4-1 victory.
But Messi was not playing, then ... Cruyff's team formed {o with Zubizarreta, Ferrer, Guardiola, Koeman (53m. Nadal), Juan Carlos, Bakero (70m. Goikoetxea), Iván Iglesias, Amor, Sergi, Laudrup and Romario .
