Bayern Munich came out all guns blazing after a moderate performance in the first half. Goals from Hernandez, who headed the opener from a Kimmich corner and Leroy Sane resulted in the German giants taking a lead with two goals in just five minutes. The two early goals broke the game in favour of Bayern. Meanwhile, Lewandowski was among several Barcelona players to rue missed chances Lewandowski was among several Barcelona players to rue missed chances.
After the first 45 minutes, it was a wonder how Barcelona were not in front, with Robert Lewandowski and company feasting on the Bayern back line in his return to the Allianz Arena.
The Blaugrana had battered the hosts, with Bayern looking again off the pace after three straight Bundesliga draws. The only thing that was missing for Barcelona was the final product, and it felt like that eventually, things would fall their way.
Then halftime came and went, and a different Bayern team emerged from the tunnel, unrecognizable from the one that departed the Allianz Arena field at the break. Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sane goals four minutes apart saw the hosts go in front before the hour mark, and Barcelona were yet again sunk by the German opposition which is quickly becoming Public Enemy No. 1 in Catalonia.
Barcelona fell yet again to Bayern Munich, a familiar result in European play, as the Germans yet again get the better of their Spanish opponents.
