Unstoppable Munich's "Bayern" team found no antidote on Tuesday night as the Germans, supported by their own fans, wiped out Tito Vilanova's players with a score of 4-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final match. "Bayern" players thank the fans for their great support. The anticipated fierce battle between two giants of European football did not happen - one team dominated the field and crushed their opponents.
Catalans did not even notice "Messi missing after an injury in the starting lineup, as the "Blaugrana" were completely surrounded by the hosts' defense.
In the first two instances, Victor Valdes had to sadly retrieve the ball from his own net, as the "Bavarians" successfully took advantage of their height superiority - in the 25th minute, Thomas Muller scored from Dante's assist to put "Bayern" ahead, and after the break, Mario Gomez quickly doubled the lead.
Then came the controversial goal by Arjen Robben, and Muller finally forced “Barca” to surrender after scoring a double from a quick counterattack.
"Blaugrana" can appeal to the match referee Viktor Kassai, as Jupp Heynckes' troops were offside once and Muller helped Robben by fouling Alba, but it is also noticeable that the Hungarian did not see the Spanish handball twice in the penalty area.
If everything is clear in this pair, tomorrow at 21:45 Lithuania time the intrigue is right in front of us in the match between Dortmund's "Borussia" and Madrid's "Real" football players.

25' [1 - 0] T. Muller
49' [2 - 0] M. Gomez
