The Barcelona team applied high pressure to generate the mistake in Bayern Munich's defense and the task almost yielded good results. Robert Lewandowski stole the ball, generated a good combination of passes in the 'Bavarians' area, but Manuel Neuer saved Pedri's final shot.
Gavi started the action in the middle of the field and assisted 'Lewy', who did the same in looking for Raphinha. Although the advance was dangerous, Marcel Sabitzer was very intelligent in marking and took the ball away, but he took too long to clear and lost it.
Immediately, with Robert's steal, there were a series of passes inside Bayern Munich's area and Pedri was positioned to shoot: he shot with his right foot, after gaining a slight advantage over Dayot Upamecano. The finish was appropriate, but goalkeeper Manuel Neuer shone under the three posts and saved it with his legs.
