UEFA CHAMPIONS
LEAGUE
CHELSEA 0-3 BAYERN
LEWENDOWSKI LETHAL
Gnabry plays a cute ball round the corner to release
Lewandowski into the box on the left. He shapes to shoot from an angle, but
then snaps a low pass across the face of goal for Gnabry, who has kept running
and slams the ball home.
Neuer launches long down the left. Gnabry plays a
simple mid-range one-two down the flank with Lewandowski, enters the box and
strokes a perfect shot across Caballero and into the bottom right.
Davies goes on another sizzling run down the left, skipping
past Christensen’s desperate lunge with ease, and he’s away. This time his
cross is fantastic, rolled across the face of goal. Lewandowski isn’t going to
miss from six yards, and slams into the bottom right.
Alonso is booked for holding out his arm and poking it
around Lewandowski’s head. That looked premeditated; Alonso’s a lucky boy. Actually, not so lucky. The
referee goes over to the VAR monitor, takes one look, and sends Alonso
packing.
MY
OPINION
This is the lesson that Chelsea
need and there looks to be no hope of them getting the game back. Bayern are
one of the best teams in Europe and have now to be seen as one of the
favourites for the tournament
NAPOLI 1-1 BARCALONA
GREIZMAN GIVES BARCA
ATTACKING HOPE
The ball breaks to Junior Firpo but he can’t control,
it bounces off his legs to Zielinski and Napoli are suddenly three on
two. He passes across the edge of the area to Mertens on the other side, and he
takes a touch to set the ball before stroking a lovely curling shot into the
far corner!
Semedo’s barnstorming run down the right is the key,
and after he’s picked out by Busquets a first-time centre finds Griezmann in
the middle, whose finish is excellent.
Mario Rui leaps up and butts heads with Vidal, both players
pushing into their opponent. They are both booked, so Vidal, cautioned about
half a second earlier for the foul, is off!
MY
OPINION
Barca had shown their quality
but so have the Italian side in this competition. It would be the best thing if
Napoli was able to do something at CampNou but nothing is certain in football
that is what this match shows.
