BARCELONA VERSES BAYERN MUNICH.

The first leg of the champion league between Barcelona and Bayern Munich, was held on the 8/4/2009 at the famous Nou Camp at Barcelona. It is a well known fact that The Nou Camp is not the best ground to Bayerns liking , it has a very sour feeling of the 1999 Champion league final played against Manchester United at the Nou Camp, That time Bayern Munich was leading Manchester United by a goal scored by Marcus Babel. But the English club Manchester United won the championship and the trophy that yearby 2-1 both goals scored by their famous Norweign player Ole Gunner Solzer , nick named the super sub .
This match was watched by over 90,000 fans.And Klinsmen had just suffered a 5-1 mauling in the Bundesliga.
The spanish attacked right from the time the whistle blew, and the goals came by Lionel Messi in the 9th minute, and in the 38th minute, Samuel Etoo was the provider, in tjhe 12th minute Lionel Messi became the provider, and Etoo scored the second goal, Thierry Henry missed a goal, but netted the ball in the 42nd minute.
There was a big moment of contreversy as the stupid blind referee Harod Webb booked Lionel Messi for diving, but replay clearly show Messis legs were clearly clipped .An apeal was made for a penalty, by the Barcelona crowd crowd , and staff. But Webb stood stubernly to his wrong decission, and shamelessly showed the red card to the Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola and banished him to the stands.
This match of Bayern Munich, was played badly by the team, they were left to chase shadows in the second half.. There were also a few changes in this team after their 5-1 mauling in the Bundesliga, philip Llahm and the young goalkeeper Michel Rensing were removed and Butt stood in the goal.
The great Franz Beckenbauer, the president of Bayern Munich said this is a catastrophe, and plainschool boy stuff.MRibery the French winger was unconsoloble, and it was left to fellow French man Thierry Henry to cheer him up. The big question is what about the future of Jurgen Klinsmen at Bayern Munich.?
