Despite 3-2 Win, Bayern Crashes Out Of Champions League As Barca Cruises To Berlin
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
A Neymar double helped Barcelona progress to their first Champions League final since 2011 despite a 3-2 second-leg semi-final defeat to
Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
A Lionel Messi double and Neymar's strike at Camp Nou last Wednesday had given the Liga
leaders a 3-0 lead after the first encounter and, despite a spirited display, Bayern were unable to complete a remarkable fightback in the return leg.
Mehdi Benatia's early header gave Bayern hope, but Pep Guardiola described his former club Barca as the best counter attacking team in the world ahead of the game and they lived up to that billing at the Allianz Arena.
Luis Suarez laid on two goals for Neymar who now has 37 for the season and has scored in his last seven matches in the first half and, although Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller gave the Bundesliga champions victory on the night, the job had been done by Barca in the first leg.
