Bayern seems weaker compare to their peak (8-2 Barca).

Still a strong opponent for Barca in its current form.

Bayern are strong, Barcelona looked really vulnerable at times and Bayern leading 2:1 could have changed everything.

Barcelona beat a strong Bayern.

Alot of these pundits who were saying Bayern aren't playing that well in the league is basically meaningless because anyone that knows Bayern they always show up to the UCL in their strongest.

Yes, I made that same point last season when many thought Arsenal would hammer them. League form counts for fuck all in the CL, especially with the big teams.

Yeah. The CL suits Real Madrid down to the ground because knockout games are more about moments, bursts of energy or quickfire goals or scenarios. The league on the other hand is about week in week out consistency.

The former will always favour a team like Real Madrid who have the highest highs but can also fuck up here and there against a smaller team and cost themselves league points. Hence partly why Barca won 6 Ligas to their 2 in Ronaldo's time there.

Not in a million years I expected such a season from him after last season. I was sure the decline won't stop and he'll get even worse but he totally turned it around. I don't think it's just because Flick's system is better for him, he's different physically himself. He said in an interview he changed some things with food or personal training and it shows.

The high tempo matches, better team trainings and brilliant players around him help also.

If you look better, all of our players perform much better since Xavi left.

Xavi was good to setup young promising team in probably worst situation ever, but his coaching knowledge was not good enough to take this team on new level.

Lewa really benefited from this crazy pressing machine team, where we create much more chances.

I think I have not enjoyed watching Barca games like this for many years.
