At the end of a spectacular match, Bayern Munich, helped by a double Harry Kane, won his round of 16. The expected shock against Paris Saint-Germain will take place next Saturday.
The Bavarians did the job. Simply stronger, Bayern Munich of Harry Kane, author of a double, made his power speak on Sunday in Miami to rule out Flamengo (4-2) on his way to the World Cup, where a shocking quarter-final is now awaiting PSG.
It will therefore be a duel between European Cadors, more used to challenging themselves in the Champions League, which will take place next Saturday in Atlanta, the Parisians having gotten rid of the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi (4-0).
Brazil, which has placed its four teams in the round of 16, can still see a second, after Palmeiras, rally the next round if Fluminense drops Inter Milan on Monday in Charlotte. In the meantime, after Botafogo, it is one of his most emblematic clubs, that of Zico, Bebeto, Romario or Adriano who takes the door.
Today’s flamengo has no such geniuses in the round ball in its ranks and football, based on high pressing and direct game, gives it rather European attire. So precisely, facing Bayern, he measured himself to a client in this area.
Kane Letal, Flamengo gave everything
This match with vintage intercontinental flavor, very lively and sometimes tense (9 warnings) as we imagined before the start, the Bavarians took it seriously, as must do a favorite assumed by the title, by attacking hard in the hard rock stadium of Miami almost full (60,915 spectators).
In three minutes, in the first ten, Bayern has folded the opposing defense. First on a corner deflected against his camp by the Chilean Erick Pulgar (6th), then after a shot at the entrance to the surface of Harry Kane, slightly deflected and entered in order with the help of the post (9th).
On the action, the French defender Dayot Upamecano picked up the ball to a Brazilian before giving a assist to the English attacker, demonstrating that this Bayern is indeed one of the teams that press the goal of their opponent, to be better dangerous if not lethal.
By taking the Flamengo throat at the entrance, Munich had just put a big blow on his opponent’s carafe. But that was without counting “The mental strength of Brazilian players“, Highlights the day before by their coach Filipe Luis, warning that she could” compensate for a slight difference in level “.
The proof was given by the reduction of the superb score of Gerson, author of a half-volley missile which listed under the bar of Manuel Neuer (33rd), after a center of Luiz Araujo. It was the latter, passed by Lille, a height in devil on his left wing, which was the initiator of the Flamengo revolt and it had taken an exceptional parade of the German goalkeeper so that the Brazilian team did not mark earlier (15th).
Alert for Kingsley Coman
Jubbed and safe, Bayern nevertheless resumed its seriousness and control of the ball. Then, on an imprecise dismissal of the same Araujo, decidedly in all the good and bad blows of his team, Leon Goretzka had all the time to adjust his shot to allow his family to redo the station wagon (3-1, 41st).
In the second half, Flamengo temporarily resumed hope when Jorginho transformed a penalty following a hand of Michael Olise (55th). But after Bruno Henrique, forgotten by Upamecano on a long ball, missed a great opportunity to equalize by ahead of Neuer without finding the frame (66th), it was the inevitable Kane who sealed the fate of the match (73rd).
The only downside to the Bavarian board, the injury release of Kingsley Coman, replaced in the 58th minute by Leroy Sané. The French international was held the top of the left thigh following a duel with the Brazilian Wesley França.
