Another day, Lewa would have had a hattrick by now, 3 clear chances. Raphina has been disappointing so far. Pedri has been gorgeous.

Barca are the better team and they should have gotten a penalty.

Their pressing is great and we're not used to it anymore since Leipzig and Dortmund changed their style.

I hope for Goretzka for Sabitzer and Gnabry for Mané in the 2nd half.
Bayern should really go all out for Kane

Barca look like a proper team. I still can't believe how young Pedri is. He is fecking amazing
He's got a Messi like ability where anytime I've watched him, he's looked like the best player on the pitch.

I watch a decent amount of Barca games and don't recall many where he's even had an average performance.

Pedri is so difficult to defend. You try to commit and surely he will dribble past you.
agree...he's a class midfielder but knowing that you've got to close down his space at least somewhat and not allow him to receive and turn so easily

Better than Vinicius? Disagree.
As in a true winger of yesteryears who can hold the width, can beat a man and can cross. There aren’t many nowadays and he is really the best of the lot. Sane, Gnabry, Musiala when he plays there, none of them are capable of holding any width. Sane is a bit toothless everywhere.

Dissappointed by Mane‘s performance.
But not really the first player that looked better under Klopp than he actually is

Mane is completely redundant in that Bayern team so far. A pure striker would have served them better it seems.

Why is Goretzka not playing? Is he not the player he used to be? Always looked fecking amazing whenever I saw him. Technically superb, and an absolute tank. Bayern in general look really poor. Neuer looks a nervous wreck. Davies is properly brilliant though. Bayern’s midfield has been anonymous. They have Goretzka and Gravenberch on the bench.

What a dumb dive by Kudus. Shoot with you right instead of diving. Shame he isnt booked.

Both Czech strikers hit the woodwork for Leverkusen one after the other

As soon as I shit on Bayern they score. Shocking defending from Barca. Free header in the 6 yard box.

Hi McLovin
Ah yeah I couldn't remember which movie it was :D

back to topic:
This very interesting question made me look up everyone of Mo Salahs CL goals and in none of them, another Mohamed scored.
So since there is only one player named Mohamed in the CL top 250, there is reason to believe that the event has never happened until tonight.

Since Mo Salah and Mo Elneny both played CL for Basel for example, I thought the chance of two of them scoring somewhere would be quite good.

Just knew that's going to happen after Lewa missed all those chances. Barça need to bring on Fati soon.
