After the Bayern gala against FC Barcelona, there was an ugly scene after the final whistle: Barca star Lionel Messi flashed an FCB star. Flick should be happy about it.
- FC Bayern Munich * threw FC Barcelona out of the Champions League with a gala.
- Barca star Lionel Messi probably let his frustration run free after the final whistle.
- In retrospect, Bayern and coach Hansi Flick should be happy about the action.
Lisbon - It was definitely one of the highlights of the Champions - League finals, because of the coronavirus * will be held in completely different form. The FC Bayern played the star ensemble from FC Barcelonaalmost dizzy and won the quarter-finals 8-2. Barca star Lionel Messi in particular seemed extremely affected by the course of the game. Already after the second goal of the Munich team, he held his head helplessly and pictures from the half-time break were circulating on the Internet, showing a motionless Argentine. A leader who wants to turn things around again definitely looks different.
FC Bayern: Youngster from Messi dumped ice cold - he reports on the incident
And even after the game in the Champions League * quarter-finals, there was an ugly scene around Lionel Messi . The Argentine gave a Bayern - Youngster obviously a bitter rebuff. After the final whistle, Messi was in a hurry to disappear into the dressing room - the shame was too great. But Youngster Alphonso Davies apparently saw his chance at a coveted Messi - shirts to come. He tried to get a jersey swap .

- FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) August 15, 2020Messi cancels the FC Bayern star - so he prevented the trouble that Neymar felt
In retrospect, Hansi Flick * , Davies and FC Bayern could even be happy about the rejection. After all, according to the Corona statutes of UEFA , jersey swaps are currently not planned. There were reports, especially in the English media, that PSG star Neymar could be banned for the CL final against Bayern . After all, the Brazilian swapped his jersey with Marcel Halstenberg after beating RB Leipzig.
However, concerns about the lock are probably very high. In the UEFA rules after the Corona break it only says that the players are "recommended" not to swap jerseys. It seems more than unlikely that UEFA will not allow one of the most important players to play in the Champions League final because of a violation of a recommendation .
In this respect, Davies would probably have threatened little trouble from UEFA. However: A media outcry like in the case of Neymar would certainly not have helped the calm in Flick's team before the semi-final against Lyon, for which the Canadian could have been banned if the case had happened.
