Bayern Munich quarrels with debacle in Barcelona – SPIEGEL ONLINE

In the past had Jerome Boateng have said nothing after such a defeat. Or at most a few trivialities. However, after the 0: 3 debacle of Bayern in Barcelona central defender was really angry – and showed it: “Very unnecessarily we get the goals, then we fall apart, that must not happen,” complained Boateng. “You have to continue to defend as a team and not dissolve so.”

Bastian Schweinsteiger, Xabi Alonso and Juan Bernat, however disappeared without a word on the bus. Visible frustrated by a bust that looked like a humiliation. Because, although they suddenly came up like a tornado – the three goals came at the end of the high-class game within a quarter of an hour – but even at this level was appropriate. Because the Bayern While in the possession statistic with 53 to 47 percent was slightly forward, but in the duel over quota significantly behind: 41 to 59 percent, to just one shot on goal, Barcelona had at least eight.

There are figures that give rise to actual superiority can be derived. “The result is intense,” Boateng said: “We wanted to control the ball.” But in front of the goals conceded they lost him lightly on the fast host. The Catalans controlled the Bavarians not only, but swept over them.

That the gates were so late, the guests had actually only thanks to Manuel Neuer. Before 0: 1 by the grandiose Lionel Messi Juan Bernat lost the ball in front of the 0: 3 vertändelte him Bastian Schweinsteiger. 2 was even punched by Messi: “The many simple turnovers are deadly against such a team,” Boateng, who had entgegengestemmt 70 minutes as a defense tower attack vortex before before 0 said.

This game is far from stuck in the minds of the players because it gives them pointed out, what quality advantage Barcelona currently has. Without Robben, Ribery and Alaba missing the nimble actors that can bring even the currently probably the best club in the Champions League in embarrassment. But that’s not the only reason. Guardiola was simply no remedy against his former club on his return to Barcelona.

His first elected Dreierkette worked to Guardiola after 15 minutes to back four because the defense was overwhelmed. This brought in the short term safety, but was also not a good long-term solution. “We wanted that they must also run backwards, that was the idea. But we had big problems. With four players, it was a bit solid, but since we did not come so often forward,” Guardiola said.

“On limits encountered”

Above all, because the quite the old fashioned midfield to the (Ü) 30 Lahm, Schweinsteiger and Alonso acted too sedate. Thomas Müller, partially 70, 80 yards from their own put up for penalty box and often sought in vain play stations, characterized rubbed up. “Today, we are pushed to limits athletic”, took FCB sporting director Matthias Sammer.

Müller looked pissed when Guardiola took him 79 minutes for Mario Götze from the field, the solidarity seems to crumble a little after the bitter defeat against Dortmund and in Barcelona. The players certainly have remarkably often conjured up the team spirit, which is usually not a good sign. “Now we have only one order, also as a team,” said about Boateng, and Müller stressed: “It now does not help each other to blame We hold as a team our head up..”

They know that they not only need a small football miracle in the second leg to defeat Barcelona yet. To keep also her coach back free because Guardiola should be less successful in his second year than in the first, the criticism is likely to swell. It comes in the second leg on Tuesday also strongly depends on how to say goodbye to Bayern in the Champions League.
