In a high-class game in the Champions League, FC Bayern defeated Robert Lewandowski and FC Barcelona.
A controversial scene causes discussions.
Munich – Amazon expert Matthias Sammer spoke to many fans from the heart when he summed it up at half-time: “This game is a pleasure.” FC Bayern and FC Barcelona exchanged blows openly on Tuesday evening.
In the end, it was Munich who won - mainly because they made better use of their chances to score.
Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sané decided the game with their goals, while returnees Robert Lewandowski, Pedri and Co. either failed because of Manuel Neuer, the outside post or their own inability.
After the game, the Spanish press complained about an “eternal nightmare in Munich”.

confronted Bayern defender Lucas Hernandez on broadcaster

after the game with his assessment, which many Spaniards (and Spanish media) share.
“Dembélé moves into the penalty area and the Bayern player knocks him down the line.
That's a penalty.” Hernandez, who suffered a painful injury in the final minutes and will probably be out for a long time, didn't quite agree.
FC Bayern vs Barcelona lucky?
Penalty scene heats up
He described the scene as a "penaltito", i.e. a "penalty kick" and made it clear: "If the referee doesn't whistle and the VAR doesn't intervene, you can talk as you want.
The result is what it is.” Amazon Prime expert Mario Gomez would have given the penalty according to his own statements, Matthias Sammer judged at his side: “You can give, you don’t have to.”
Nothing will change in the scoring - FC Bayern started the Champions League season with six points from two difficult games.
And on top of that, he hasn't conceded a goal yet.
The premier class seems to tickle Munich a little more than the Bundesliga, where things are bumping at the moment.
