While Barcelona, they could only break down Bayern’s goal twice. Of the two goals, only one goal was scored by the Blaugrana player – Barcelona’s nickname. This precisely happened in the 57th minute through Luis Suarez’s action.
For Barcelona’s other goal, it was created by a mistake by Bayern’s David Alaba, who actually netted the ball into his own net in the seventh minute. Barcelona’s condition is very inversely proportional to Bayern, which has indeed been superior since the start of the match.
