How absurd is that?!
As reported by the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, the players of FC Barcelona fear that Bayern will DELIBERATELY lose their last group game in the Champions League against Inter Milan.
“He doesn’t deserve to…”
Klopp goes for Hamann
What: AP
Accordingly, the Barça cabin is afraid that Munich is still mad at the club because of the Robert Lewandowski cause.
After three games, Barcelona are third with only three points, three points behind Inter. On Wednesday evening (9 p.m., in the live ticker on Sportbild), the clubs get down to business. Should Barça draw or win, they would be dependent on Bayern. And that’s exactly what you’re afraid of!
If Bayern won in Pilsen, the German record champions would have twelve points and would therefore be qualified to advance. In the final group game against Inter, coach Julian Nagelsmann could rotate a little.
Besides that: Should Barça lose against Inter, the issue of the knockout phase will be over for the Catalans anyway. Six points behind and the lost direct comparison (first leg Inter won 1-0) would make qualifying impossible. So only the way to the unloved Europa League would remain…
Barça beats Inter scenario: On the penultimate day of the game, coach Xavi’s team welcomes Bayern, while Inter plays Pilsen. If Barcelona lose and Inter win as expected against the Czechs, the Nerazzurri would be three points ahead of the Spaniards again. So Bayern would have to win against Inter for Barça to have a chance of progressing.
Especially with a look at the past group phases of Bayern shows: This report is nonsense! The Bavarians do not give anything voluntarily – also because of the high point premium in the premier class. Even if you weren’t exactly happy about Lewandowski’s departure in Munich…
