It is the Barcelona of Luis Enrique the first finalist of the Champions League . Tonight, the Allianz Arena, the star of hope has turned off the Bayern Monaco and booked their ticket to the challenge of the Olympiastadion Berlin, on Saturday June 6th. The Blaugrana will be measured with the Juventus Massimiliano Allegri or with the Real Madrid by Carlo Ancelotti in a Clasico that will thrill even the indifferent.
In Monaco, however, semi-final return he won the team of Pep Guardiola , which has even guessed the way to beat the Blaugrana Luis (3-2). To resolve have provided the former Roma Benatia , Neymar with a brace, Lewandowski and Muller , five goals worthy stage. Beyond outcome, Bayern missed but the mission (impossible) to complete the comeback, and has only been able to witness the triumph of their rivals, planed in the final with full legitimacy. After all, the duel was decided in the race last Wednesday (3-0).
In the balance between the urgent need to recover and the pride of not retract, Guardiola tried to flip the view offering the same camp set up in Catalonia; ie a 3-4-1-2 dragged by the geometry of Muller and cynicism of Lewandowski. On the opposite side, Barça handed to Leo Messi , Suarez and Neymar the weight of the attack, and has managed to cross the finish line almost without pedaling. Why Iniesta and Rakitic have driven there in the middle of the field, while Alonso and Alcantara have lost some ‘measures, especially at the start. But it should be recognized that the Bavarians have never lost my route which align.
At the start Benatia has even gave the illusion of possible masterpiece by correcting the head of the corner; then, time just 22 minutes, Suarez served Neymar twice to open view. Relentless, the Brazilian. The pace of the race was soon weakened: and the teams are a little accommodated. Finally, here Lewandowski and Muller, good at tightening the comeback of the evening. Thus, a compliment he also deserved Guardiola, always elegant: if only because the Bayern was able to touch the dream, even without stars like Robben , Ribery , Alaba and Badstuber . Leo Messi had had …
