First I have to say: I am extremely happy and elated that we are in the final. Congrats to our players, Luis Enrique, the coaching staff, our club and every Culé on this planet.
That said, I really have this bitter taste in my mouth because of this game today, especially the second half. One of the worst performances of the season, and a disappointing loss, after all we have not had a loss in a while and when was the last time we conceded 3 goals? I know it is Allianz and it would be hard and I wasn't expecting us to avenge the 7-0 (fuck that by the way), but I had expected us to play better and not getting totally dominated by this Bayern side. Perhaps some of our players did put their feet off the gas pedal in the 2nd half, perhaps it was fatigue, perhaps it was us trying to save Guardiola's job
lol:, saw some angry anti-Gurdiola Chinese Bayern fans claiming that), I saw our midfielders being overrun, forced dispossession and errors galore, and our defense being pounded on and we just couldnt get out of our own half, just way too much. We hardly had the ball in the 2nd half and when we did, we could hardly string together several passes without being dispossessed because of Bayern's zealous pressing and sheer men power in the midfield.
Some folks said we Culés should be gracious and grateful that we are in the final, yeah I am all of that. But many of us have higher standard for our beloved team and what we saw today, especially in the 2nd half,
was not Barça quality, far from it. I hope this serves as a wakeup call and Luis Enrique and his team analyze the hell out of our performance and use it as a lesson. We are Barça, we are not invincible, but we play much better football than we did today.
