Fermin (75) closed the blue-green score in the face of the bewilderment of the local group, which hoped to offer a more competitive image in front of an adversary who recertifies his aspirations to rise with the European trophy. A target of Angolan Felicio Milson (83) ended up making up the final result.
Both Raphinha and Lewandowski already have five so many in four tournament matches, which leads them to sneak in among the top Champions scorers tied with Swede Viktor Gyokeres, Sporting Club of Portugal, and Englishman Harry Kane of Bayern Munich.
The Serbian hobby lit a flare on the stands, mark of the house, in the well-known Little Maracana as soon as the anthem of the Champions sounds. Afterward, the victims of the Dana in southeastern Spain were honored with a minute of silence.
“What I like most is that the team always jumps onto the field to compete and do your best and is seeing itself in the results,” said German coach Hansi Flick before expressing that he is very satisfied with the positive results.
He was also happy for the performance of his Polish star. Lewandowski has 99 goals in Champions yes, I’ve got him under control. I’ve changed him just before his 100th goal, he tastes bad. He has scored two very important goals for the team, he said.
Five minutes after the game, Hansi Flick’s pupils again provoked an out-of-game play that ended up marking the local team. And there are already 14 times when the Cules rivals scored a little in this way since the season began.
The Azulgrana ensemble opened the score after Brazilian Raphinha scored a ball in the center of the field, which Martinez took advantage of to score with the testament to mouth, the second of the center in the continental competition.
The Bara kept touching the ball with a high percentage of possession, but it did not generate danger in the opposite goal. Even Raphinha was about to surprise with an Olympic line, but the ball hit the stick of goalkeeper Marko Ilic.
Still, the Red Star didn’t try to go against it. Precisely, in one of them, Silas beat archer Inaki Pena after a failure of the side Gerard Martin by breaking them out of play, so he put the draw in the bright.
The Catalan team maintained control of the game’s tempo, but without generating clear moves of danger. Only in a recess to the post after a Raphinha shot was that Lewandowski drilled the net unopposed any of the Serbian lag.
In the second part, the cules came out plugged in. Lewandowski started the feast after pushing the ball to the goal to pass from Frenchman Jules Kounde. Bayern Munich’s exaggerator had erred twice before, one head-on and the other to finish seven meters from the three sticks.
Instantly afterwards, Kounde again superbly assisted Raphinha who was on the edge of the area to climb the visitors’s fourth goal to the scoreboard.
Once again, the excellent Gallic side conceded a ball inside the area that Fermin pushed as he could to get the fifth goal to the electronics.
The victory was almost done, but Milson also signed up for the festival with an unappealable finish that Peña could not stop.
Today the idea was to score a goal quickly. “In the first part we have been a little slower,” Lewandowski lamented, before showing his happiness for victory When a team plays very defensively like today we need some patience. I’m happy because as a team we’ve played really well. We had the game under control and it’s another three points.
