Flick's experience at Bayern was put to good use in this match because he knew how to anticipate the attacks so that they could make Bayern have to bow down at the end of the match.

It cannot be denied that Bayern are very good at controlling the ball and the rhythm they do is also actually quite good, it's just that in this case Flick knows Bayern's weakness is the fast counter-attack carried out so that even though Bayern managed to have possession of the ball, Barcelona's momentum and rhythm were much better in this match.

The 4 goals scored by Barcelona in this match all started from quick counter-attacks and actually if we look at almost of these 4 goals occurred because of the mistakes of the Bayern players both in the offside trap and the anticipation they failed to do which ultimately led to goals.
The first goal, occurred because of the players' mistakes due to the failed offside trap, the second goal occurred because the Bayern defender failed to intercept the ball, the 3rd and 4th goals were almost the same as the first goal process so in this I think Flick really explored and read the Bayern game which made them lose and ended their dominance over Barcelona over the past few seasons.

I think so too, there were not many goals scored in the Barcelona vs Bayern Munich match because we know Bayern Munich's defense is quite strong but that is wrong because in reality in this match Barcelona was able to embarrass Bayern Munich. Barcelona has been able to end a bad streak when facing Bayern Munich and in today's match they were able to prove it.

I think because of Hansi Flick's experience that was able to make Barcelona appear different in today's match so that their opponents had difficulty reading Barcelona's playing style. Statistically, Barcelona was able to destroy Bayern Munich's defense because they were able to record 12 attacks. Barcelona has risen and maybe opposing team watch out be wary of the rapid progress made by Hansi Flick this season.

Barcelona are doing perfectly fine in the Champions league and am just marveled at how this team have became so formidable to the extent of beating Bayern munich by 4:1 but despite the win i think Bayern munich did their best and i commend Harry Kane for his efforts in the team and always making sure to register his name in the score sheet as he was the one who scored the one goal Bayern munich got. This week have been very memorable as Rafinha got a hat trick just after Vinicius Jr also got a hat trick for Real Madrid in their match against Borussia Dortmund yesterday.

I didn't get a chance to see any of the ECL games and just catching up with the results from yesterday and today.
Looks like we have an unexpected leader of the table, Aston Villa, who are emerging as the dark horse of this tournament.
In fact, all 4 Premier League clubs have won their games in this round, and they now occupy the top 3, with Arsenal lagging a bit behind in 9th position, but with the same amount of points as 3rd Man City.

In contrast, only one of the 4 German teams has won their game. Stuttgart, a much underrated team in my opinion, has finally managed to earn 3 points after the additional time winner by Toure. I don't know what the odds were, but I'm sure Juventus was the favourite.

I think the gap between Premier League teams and the rest will get wider as the league progresses. I think only Real and Barcelona can perform at a similarly high level, but they might not be as consistent as the English teams.

The goal margin was just too much in the match, which is the most surprising thing, Barcelona scored 4 goals in the match, and Bayern Munich were able to score just 1 goal in the match, and they had some chances in the match, but they couldn’t convert them to goals. Bayern dominated the match, but they ended up losing to Barcelona with a wide goal margin, which is even the most surprising aspect. Seriously, I am really disappointed with what Bayern Munich played in the match, conceding so many goals in the match is really a bad one for them. Barcelona took advantage of the chances they had in the match, and they utilized it well.

Basically, dominating the ball possession is the play style of Barcelona. They did this in the past because they used tiki-taka strategy. It is just interesting that Barcelona is no longer dominating the ball possession but they could win the match with a convincing score (4 goals). I think Barcelona has a different play style under Flick's management. However, this is a good change, Barcelona doesn't solely rely on the same strategy anymore.

Of course, scoring in a very early match will always motive more the players. But Bayern Munich actually could equalize the score in minute 18'. Before Barcelona second goal, the match is still quite tight. But the goal in minute 36' and 45' changed the game very much. With these additional goals, Bayern Munich mentality was decreasing. They looked to have no much hope anymore in this match.

Besides the impressive performance of Raphinha, I also really appreciated the accuracy of Barcelona players. They have 4 shots on target, they scored 4 goals. It means they have 100% accuracy when they have good opportunity to score goals. It is a bit different with Bayern Munich players, they scored 1 goal only from 3 shots on target.

In the end, Barcelona was able to beat Bayern Munich again with a fairly large score. Barca was doubted in this match, especially with their young players. however, Flick was able to answer those doubts by winning full points at Camp Nou. based on H2H Barcelona always had difficulty beating this German giant team, thanks to Hansi Flick's touch it was time for Barcelona to beat Bayern Munich again. a match that was a little emotional for me personally, because Barca is my favorite team and at the same time broke the dominance that in several meetings Barca always fell to Bayern both home and away. besides, it was not wrong if Flick appointed Raphinha as the team captain. in this match, he was Man of the Match. he scored three goals against Neuer, as if he put the ball in very easily. Lewa also took part, he contributed one goal against Neuer. besides, I like to see the appearance of Casado, Pedri, Yamal with their individual actions. they are very confident, especially Lamine Yamal, he dribbled the Bayern Munich players several times. Next, Barca will visit Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid's home base for the El Clasico match in the Domestic League.
In another match, even though ATM was so favored plus playing at home, unfortunately they had to be willing to fall to Lille with a score of 1-3.

Flick really gave a very different feel to Barcelona this season because apart from those who made a new breakthrough for this season in this match also proved that Flick deserved to be Barcelona coach because he could even change Barcelona's h2h which always seemed chaotic against Bayern because they could not win. Flick did his job well because if before Barcelona even always struggled to beat Bayern but in this match they won very easily with a score that was quite striking.

This is certainly a very good progress for Barcelona even though it is still early but in the end with consistency like this it will certainly make Barcelona more confident in navigating the season.
Now their job is just to try better in el clasico because of course not only Barcelona got a mental injection but Madrid also felt the same after they both won easily.

Raphinha scoring the first goal for Barcelona shows that the game will be very tough for Bayern, although Bayern recollized at 18 minutes but they still ended up losing full-time. However first half was a drama because there were lots of goals. I expected Bayern Munich to score more than one goal but they didn't. Although, Bayern Munich have some opportunities to score more goals but they didn't make good use of it. I also expected more goals on second half but unfortunately, it didn't work as expected.

The game was very tough, both teams had a good start with Bayern having the best of opportunities but failed to make good use of them unlike Barcelona who keeps the lead going using every little opportunities. Barcelona already defeating Bayern puts them ahead of every other competing teams in the Champions league in terms of potentials. Even Madrid will be having a hard time defeating Barcelona in the coming fixture, the management is doing a great job and the result will be gotten, if not in the Champions league may be hopefully in the La Liga.

What's interesting about the Champions League in the third round in my opinion. Not because Barcelona won big against Bayern Munich or Man City won big against Sparta Prague. But there is one team that impressed me, Lille. They are actually not considered in the Champions League but they can perform very impressively in the Champions League this season.

Whether it's a coincidence or not, Lille is a team that made a surprise in the Champions League this season. They beat Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid one by one in the Champions League. Pep Genesio has made Lille considered by every opponent this season in the Champions League, he has beaten two Madrid giants. Extraordinary.

Today matches between Barcelona and the Bayern Munich was very interesting match as the game end in victory of Barcelona, although that this season Barcelona performance is very low but with the kind patterns of the game they play today against Bayern it show that they’ve make a little improvement to their performances; I think if they can continue on this way they able to beat every of their opponents, because even the way there today match started I don’t expect any goals from them with how Bayern was trying to attack them right from beginning of the match.

I'm quite excited after watching this brilliant display from the Barce side today. Real Madrid did theirs yesterday, and today, barce decided to amaze us. Flick literally made the whole age thing just a number. The quality in today's game was top notch. I felt that barce should have score more than 4, but lewandowski wasn't at his best today. Raphina who has been criticized so many times last season, continue with his brilliant performance this season, and I saw that tonight. I think that captain hand band should remain with him, because he seem to be more confident with his leadership row.

Even when Bayern had the ball in most occasion, Barce literally toyed with them when they are on the ball. The good thing with Barce in this game is the quality of one-two passes that they make. And, I'm not sure why Kompany decide to start mullar ahead of musiala today. Musiala had better impact when he was Sub in,  better than mullar that started the game. Congrats to Barce. Now my anticipation is now shifted to this coming weekend, when we will see them facing madrid.

I least expected the outcome of the match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich. I thought that even if any team has to win, the goal margin should not be much. However, I was quite surprised when the result of the match became heavily in favor of Barcelona. There is no doubt that the Barcelona guys played very nice football, but the Bayern Munich guys did not do worse. With their performance tonight they don't deserve the humiliation.

I do not understand why Vincent Kompany would have to bench Musiala while Barcelona used Yamal to terrorize them. He should learn and readjust.

let see the result of the evening.

Disappointing 1-1 for Bayer more to be expected.
Inter lucky scoring in the last minute.
Barca destroyed Bayern.
WTF Atletico lost 3-1 at home vs Lille.
City manita to Praga and Liverpool win.

Only 2 teams at full points, Liverpool and Aston Villa.

12 teams in 2 points.

I wasn't too surprised too with their recent performance and so the Victor emerged to be Barcelona with a fine 4-1 , they weren't after any form of revenge (which i know they won't) even when they got some chance to do that but they didn't waste any chance  even the particular open chance that was lost by Lewy, I watched the replay and found out he couldn't hold the speed force he used in getting to the ball position and that made him lose it. It was a fine night, M.Casado et  Fermin Lopez cooked alot of chance tonight even though it was merely noticed ( he's also just returning from his injury which trully showed he trained ). It's funny how no one is talking about the ref decisions at some point towards Barcelona despite being at home

Thus, total goal tonight for each UCL game wasn't above 5, Barcelona could have done that but it  was a tough game to handle.... what a night

Wow, who would have thought that Raphinha managed to score a hat-trick in this big match, that was amazing and once again, I really admire the hard work that Hansi Flick managed to do because Hansi Flick managed to maximize the great talents of every player in the Barcelona squad. Also, maybe Barcelona's big win was also a surprise because I thought, even though there would be many goals in this match, but at first I thought goals would be scored by both teams such as 3-2 and or 2-2. But wow, Barcelona managed to beat Bayern Munich with score of 4-1, because in previous seasons Bayern Munich always managed to beat Barcelona with a big score in this Champions League.

But yes, as I always said before, Barcelona is still superior to Bayern Munich even though basically this season they both have good results in the domestic league. But anyway, the factor of Hansi Flick who previously had experience coaching Bayern Munich was like a plus for Barcelona in this match, so it's no wonder that this time Barcelona managed to beat Bayern Munich.

What PSG did looks like we are going to see them quite disappointing this season without a doubt. They have only 4 points after 3 games and they should have beaten PSV without a doubt, they are much better team and should have won this and yet they still failed to win, this is unacceptable after spending this much money to build a team like this. I understand some teams could have bad days, look at Real Madrid, they lost to Lille, totally unexpected loss and that happens, but in 3 games they have 6 points, only one bad game and two dominant games.

PSG looks terrible, this isn't even about them getting bad results only, this is also about how we saw them have a terrible result on the long run as well, we are talking about terrible results and also looking terrible while getting these results as well. I believe we shouldn't really be considering anything to be this bad, we need to see them play better. As you can understand probably, I lost a good chunk of money on their game lol.

Raphina is the MVP of the match because his goals was what shut down Bayern morale and made them struggled without any good outcome. This is the first time in history that Bayern has lost three consecutive games away from home, showing how weakened the club has become. Barcelona used counter attack to take of the game, because they cannot play the ball more than Bayern who had good ball possessions. Flick outplayed Kompany men with experience.

This is a match between child and adults, I mean Barcelona fielded 6 young players aged between 17 to 21 years in this match but they managed to silence Bayern Munich who are famous for their squad depth and high experience. Lewandowski scored against his former team, while Raphinha scored a hat-trick, it was the great drama of the day.

Many of Bayern Munich's experienced players couldn't believe what they experienced today against Barcelona, ​​this was truly something unusual for them. Even Kompany tried hard to improve the attack by playing more typical attacking players in the second half, but his efforts failed to find results. Bayern Munich lost in front of Barcelona fans with a score of 4-1, it was a great night.
