    Matchday Two of the Champions League group stages saw Robert Lewandowski return to Bavaria to take on his old club Bayern Munich.
    For the first half it looked like he was going to come away with all three points, but after a half-time tactical tweak from Julian Nagelsmann, Bayern Munich were able to run out 2-0 winners. Jon Mackenzie explains what the tweak was and how it impacted the game.

      I agree, I was really surprised they didn’t mention him at all. Bayern looked confident and collected with him playing on the pitch. Furthermore the first goal came from his shot being cleared and the resulting corner. Adding to that it was a great shot requiring a great save. Sabitzer by comparison was falling over himself in the first half and could not keep up with the pace of the game.

    Barcelona had so many chances in the 1st half to kill the game. Bayern were sloppy and could not retain the ball at all. Sabitzer was especially poor. However like all champion sides, they held on and then had a far better second half.

    • @Raydensheraj
      @Raydensheraj Před rokem +23

      I don't think Marcel Sabitizer was poor...but he is not a defensive 6 or classic holding midfielder. He is a technical deep playmaker, an organizer.
      Leon Goretzka is more the Lothar Matthäus type box to box 8...but his presence alone can make a difference.
      I think Nagelsman didn't expect Barca to choose the central midfield as "battlefield" and realized pretty fast that Sabitizer was not necessarily poor but not the right strategic option.
      That's why I keep saying we need a darn Javi Martinez type defensive midfielder...more than a classic striker.
      I also believe that de Ligt would make a great "Vorstopper" infront of Hernandez/Pavard when we are dealing with teams that try to smuggle the ball thru the center.

Bayern started with a physically ordinary and technically inferior midfield with Muller, Kimmich and Sabitzer.

    Another game changer was Mazraoui in the first half. Barca knocked pavard out in the first minutes. He continued to play for a time but made many mistakes after that. Which lead to counter attacks and the many chances Lewandowski had in the first 35 minutes. We are lucky that we have Neuer :) Later in the first half pavard couldn’t play anymore. So mazroui came and played his best game so far for Bayern. After that Lewandowski had no big chance anymore. Upa was to strong today
    But props to Barca who played a strong and interesting game! These are the games we Fans wanna see. Pedri and Musiala were great! The future looks bright for both clubs
    Bayern is in a bad form currently and therefore I’m just so happy that we managed to win this game against barca which was in top form the last weeks. But I’m so disappointed in Mane. Couldn’t make anything worthy. But I guess he needs some time.

    Puzzled by the Sane goal, I studied a highlight video. For some reason, Busquets is leading the press and Gavi fails to cover his zone in front of the CBs. It is this space that Musiala dribbles into before threading a pass for Sane to run onto. Had Busquets occupied his customary position, or had Gavi recognised that he needed to take up Busquets' role, Musiala would have been closed down before he had a chance to make this play.

    Bayern have won nine of their 12 Champions League games against Barcelona (D1 L2), including each of the last five in a row.
    The six-time winners have also won their last 12 group games at home, and have equalled Real Madrid's record of 30 straight group wins.
    Sane scored his sixth competitive goal of the season, and second in as many Champions League games.
    Müller, celebrating his 33th birthday on the day of the game, has scored eight goals in eight Champions League appearances against Barcelona, which is three more than anyone has ever scored against the Catalans in the competition.
    Barcelona’s nine Champions League defeats to Bayern are more than twice as many as they have lost against any other opponent (four vs. AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea).

Especially because there's vocal analysis, but it would improve the videos a ton to invest in a dynamic mic / generally less bass boosted mics vs. a clip on. Could definitely improve audio clarity whilst not picking up the background noise of your physical movement that much.

      I really hate how your club deals with getting shut out. Especially with having Lewandowski. It already happened twice in 8 games this season. Bayern didn’t get shut out in the UCL for 30 games straight until the Villareal 0-0. In the Bundesliga they are on a streak of 87 games, back then it was a Leipzig game even before the pandemic. Xavi is out there praising his boys how good they played. I haven’t heard a single person talking about how atrocious Pedri was in front of goal. He turned 0.68 xG into 0.04 xGOT. Wtf lol. Bayern as a team had 1.58xG and 2.37xGOT. They actually force the keeper to make saves, rather than Barca‘s 0.79xGOT.
      I mean it‘s probably gonna be enough for Inter, but if you wanna win titles this season your team really has a long way to go and it doesn’t look like Xavi and his team has the mentality to keep striving after improvement.

      Yes, nobody mentioned this enough. To be able to press Bayern like Barca did in the first half would require a lot of stamina. And that's probably the reason why the pressing and concentration from Barca is down in the second half, while at the same time Bayern introduced Goretzka. Barca probably started to lose confidence as well, having missed those big chances in the first half, especially from their ultimate weapon, Lewy.

      Real Madrid should ALWAYS be in the favorite list. But Bayern München has a certain team dynamic I haven't seen since Jupp Heynckes all winning team...plus our offense is incredibly unpredictable. On a good day a Thomas Müller, Sadio Mane, Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala or Serge Gnabry can decide a game. Kimmich is world class, Leon Goretzka is a modern Lothar Matthäus, Gravenberch is a deep playmaker and Sabitizer organizes with intelligence and an eye for his teammates. Davies is a world class left back, then Hernandez who is one of the ten best center backs on the planet, de Ligt who obviously can become massively important, Upamecano with his physical strength, Benjamin Pavard who also can play incredible passes and is an defense all-rounder....this is a great team. Mazraoui played great today, fast, technically gifted. Then there still is Mathys Tel and the team player and somewhat most liked in the team Choupo...and Manuel Neuer still remains in a league of his own.
      This team can really accomplish great things.... weaknesses? I think a classic 6 or a defensive holding midfielder infront of the center backs would really make a big difference in games like this one. And a classic striker would definitely help in certain games...not sure if Tel and Choupo are enough....

Do you understand that long before 25 years, all of the money they have spent now will be retired and worthless?

      Whatever you say, there aren't a better anchorman than Busquets still in the business.
      But when he goes next season, I'm sure club would replace him with Zubimendi.
      Zubimendi, Busquets, Rodri and to a certain extend Ruben Neves are the only one who could do the job for you in that role.
