After starting the game in Bavaria reasonably well, it was a shame that such a poor goal from Thomas Muller was the pre-cursor to the floodgates theoretically opening.
It was always going to be a tall order to beat Bayern in their own backyard, but it was pleasing to see the team make a decent fist of it until that opener.
Once that goal was awarded, you felt the shoulders collectively went down and the team appeared beaten from that point.
The odd moment notwithstanding, there was little for Xavi and culers around the world to get excited about after that.
