Champions League: FC Barcelona – Young Boys 5-0

“We want to take something with us!” That’s what YB coach Patrick Frame said before the cracker against FC Barcelona in the Champions League. However, he had to quickly say goodbye to this goal. After just eight minutes, Barcelona scored for the first time through Robert Lewandowski, who took advantage of Berner Eiskalt’s wild defensive performance. The 1-0 win for Barça was the beginning of the end for the Young Boys. In the end it was a 0:5 slap in the face.

The key figure

Marvin Keller. The Bernese goalie talent started for regular goalkeeper David von Ballmoos. Coach Patrick Frame remained silent about the reasons. But what is certainly true is that Keller held several balls very well. Without the 22-year-old, YB would have conceded many more goals against Barcelona.

The better team

1.29! This is YB coach Patrick Frame’s points average after 14 games across all competitions. And this cut actually says it all. The Bernese performance on Tuesday evening was as bad as this one. Barcelona were leagues better than the reigning Swiss champions.

Stars like Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski performed magic again and again. The Bernese only rarely achieve liberation. Barça restricted YB. Yes, the Young Boys could hardly breathe. Apart from a bang on the crossbar and an offside goal in the second half, the Bernese team managed almost nothing.

The twittering from the stands

Barcelona goalie Marc-André ter Stegen recently suffered a tear in his patellar tendon and will be out for months. The images from the drama against Villarreal: heartbreaking. The German was overwhelmed by his emotions and cried. After the Barcelona star’s injury, Iñaki Peña is in goal.

But after that there will almost certainly be a change. So Barça signs Wojciech Szczesny. According to transfer experts, he will receive a one-year contract. On Tuesday evening the Pole was already sitting in the stands. He actually resigned in the summer.
