barcelona visited Stuttgart for their first leg champion league match in their group of 16. Even though Barcelona is the reigning champion , we must remember that very few clubs have won the cup two years in a row.Stuttgart had done their homework .
The Brazilian born german internatinol Cacau was the constant threat right from the start, he even got the first goal in the 25 th minute with a header. The Spanish club played rather badly for champions, the only attempt at goal was from Messi. The first half was stuttgarts as they out played barcelona , and Jens Lehmen was a suspectator in the goal.But after half time talk Barcelona was a different team altogether , Messi made some good runs and there lehmen was more on his toes, the attacks did pay off,Barcelona equalized through goal from Zalatin Ibrahimovic in the 52 minute , the first shot of his was superbly saved low down by Lehmen but it was slotted down into the net.
Pep Guardiola says that barcelona must improve in the return match.But they go happy with a away goal in Barcelona favour.
