In recent years, FC Bayern has acquired the reputation of the ‘ogre’ in Barcelona, ​​which is how monsters are called in horror fairy tales in Catalonia. The ‘ogre’, as he would be called in German, competed on Wednesday evening in an ocher uniform. But he was pretty much beaten black and blue. In particular by a completely unleashed Raphinha, who contributed three goals to a 4-1 win – and helped the Catalans drive away evil spirits of the past.”
