Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: FC Bayern München gets underway.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Barcelona that had 513 games and scored 767 goals.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marcos Alonso, as he is very good at scoring at Allianz Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 15' The travelling FC Barcelona supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 19' FC Bayern Munchen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 19.
- 21' Another change for FC Bayern Munchen made on 21 minute. Benjamin Pavard leaves to be changed by Noussair Mazraoui.
- 26' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sadio Mane suffering a number of foals already.
- 31' FC Barcelona started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 31.
- 36' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Barcelona is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 41' FC Bayern München seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 46' It is a substitution in FC Bayern Munchen team. Marcel Sabitzer is replaced by Leon Goretzka on 46 minute.
- 48' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Busquets.
- 50' Goal! Lucas Hernandez scores his 7 goal in 523 matches.
- 51' Lucas Hernandez with the second goal in the match!
- 54' Goal! Leroy Sane scores his 84 goal in 436 matches.
- 59' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ousmane Dembele made 513 appearances and scored 75 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 61' Time for substitution for FC Barcelona. Pablo Gavira is replaced by Frenkie de Jong.
- 66' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 66 minutes.
- 70' It is a substitution in FC Bayern Munchen team. Sadio Mane is replaced by Serge Gnabry on 70 minute.
- 74' It’s a booking for FC Bayern Munchen player. Joshua Kimmich gets a Yellow card.
- 79' FC Barcelona is showing some good football. However, FC Barcelona are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 80' Mathys Tel has so much to prove this time. He replaces Leroy Sane on 80 minute.
- 81' Franck Kessie is replacing Busquets for the FC Barcelona side.
- 86' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for FC Barcelona.
