Italian Journalist, Diletta Leotta, allegedly says “If Barcelona score 3 goals against Bayern she will walk naked through the Camp Nou”

Italian Journalist Diletta Leotta says “If Barcelona score 3 goals against Bayern she will walk naked through the Camp Nou”.

Bayern dominated the first five minutes of the game to such a degree that Barça fans were surely worried. The home team pressed high up the pitch and suffocated the Blaugrana with their intensity going forward, but they didn’t create a real chance and the visitors survived the expected early storm.

After the first five minutes, Barça began to control the game by patient possession, very good movement up front and effective high pressing to win the ball from Bayern in dangerous positions.

The Catalans had four big moments that could have easily led to a goal: one was a shot from Pedri saved by Manuel Neuer, two came from Lewandowski with a volley that went just over the bar and a header inside the six-yard area that hit Neuer in the face, and Raphinha fired agonizingly wide from outside the box.

The final whistle came to end Barça’s unbeaten start to the season, and this is a really disappointing loss especially because of how well the team played. The first half was sensational and on most nights they would have scored at least two goals which would have totally changed the game, but football can be cruel like that.

Still there are plenty of reasons to be encouraged, and Barça proved they can compete against Europe’s best. Better finishing and a little more luck and this would have been a night to remember.

Bayern Munich enjoyed another successful night against Barcelona as they beat them 2-0 at the Allianz Arena. The Bundesliga side beat Barcelona 3-0 home and away in the Champions League group stage last season, while there was an 8-2 win in the not-too-distant past.

That record led to Xavi telling his side ahead of the trip to Munich that they were not going to a “house of horrors”, and they had reasons to be confident. Barcelona have been in impressive from this season, while Bayern came in off the back of three straight Bundesliga draws.

Despite a positive first 45 minutes, a familiar nightmare soon materialised for Barcelona as Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sane gave the hosts a quick-fire double after the break.

It leaves Bayern with two wins from two in Group C, ahead of Inter Milan and Barcelona who both sit on three points.
