Barcelona boss Xavi 'angry' after poor finishing lets La Liga club down in 'really bad' Bayern Munich defeat

Barcelona boss Xavi lamented his side's mistakes in their 2-0 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich, admitting they had left him «angry». The Blaugrana had plenty of opportunities to come away with something from the Allianz Arena but were profligate, with Robert Lewandowski — on his much-anticipated return to Germany — unusually wasteful in front of goal. Ad Bayern made the most of their visitors' generosity, scoring twice in quick succession at the start of the second half, through a header from Lucas Hernandez and a breakaway goal from Leroy Sane.

Bayern Munich 2-0 Barcelona: Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sane goals enough to see off Barca in Champions League

Bayern Munich beat Barcelona 2-0 at the Allianz Arena, to make it two wins from two in the Champions League this season. The game had been billed as the Robert Lewandowski show which, given that it was his first time back at the Allianz Arena since leaving Bayern for Barca in July, was to be expected. Ad He had numerous chances in the first half but failed to convert them, heading over the crossbar, volleying over one-on-one, forcing an improvised save from Manuel Neuer and then, much to his frustration, threatening to score once more only to be denied by an acrobatic block from Noussair Mazraoui.
