Some FC Bayern players fell to the ground completely exhausted, others lay embracing, all could hardly believe their luck. With the 2: 1 (1: 1) nV against the FC Sevilla After a very complicated, intense and extremely close final, the Munich team also secured the European Super Cup. Of the Champions League-Winner defeated European League-Winner and with the fourth title he made perfect the optimum performance of the season.
Substitute Javi Martinaez scored the decisive goal in the first half of extra time (minute 104) in what was probably his last game for Munich. After eight years of membership in the club and several titles with Bayern, the 32-year-old wants to return to Spain at Athletic de Bilbao, his home club. Earlier, Lucas Ocampos (12th) scored a penalty for Sevilla and Leon Goretzka (34th) for Bayern.
Alaba fouls Rakitic
The FCB had immediately prescribed an offensive in front of some 16,000 spectators in Budapest. But unlike many of their opponents in recent weeks, the Seville team reacted completely indifferent. On the contrary: Seville played from the start Pressing, that the people of Munich have not met in this intense way for a long time. The Spanish already had it in the European League-Final tournament in Germany, so they also favored that Inter de Milan defeated.
The Bavarians allowed themselves to be pushed back and still couldn’t focus after twelve minutes. David Alaba jumped next to Ivan Rakitic without coordination, English referee Anthony Taylor decided on penalty. Lucas Ocampos made it 1-0 for the Spanish against goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Lack of efficiency
It took until minute 21 for FCB recovered from this setback. Thomas Müller missed the great opportunity to equalize because he did not hit the ball well. Subsequently, the Munich team tried to make better use of their playing potential and controlled the game, but without exuding the usual dominance.
Still: Pavard missed the second good chance after 26 minutes when he did Seville-Tor just failed. Just three minutes later, Robert Lewandowski ran into the Spaniard’s goal after a defensive error, but failed to pass the ball over goalkeeper Yassine Bounou. Until then, the Munich team lacked the usual efficiency against the opposing goal.
After 34 minutes, this should start. Müller circled an outside pass with the instep on Lewandowski, who came back from the corner on Leon Goretzka. The 25-year-old volleyed and considered ten meters to 1: 1. After that, the action died down until the whistle at half time.
Neuer has to show all his skills
After reboot, it started at full speed. Neuer immediately had to use all his skills when he parried ex-Mönchengladbacher Luuk De Jong (46th). After five minutes Bayern apparently scored a “magic goal” from Lewandowski, which was offside shortly before.
As the duration of the game increased, the Munich team had more and more problems with the defensive compactness and the technically skilled but at the same time robust style of play of the Spanish. For coach Hansi Flick’s team there were always some good attempts to score goals, but Sevilla always had one foot in the middle. And when Leroy Sané turned (62nd), referee Taylor saw a foul and did not hit.
A more open exchange of blows developed, although the Munich team remained the most dangerous team. The final precision in the conclusion was missing. And four minutes before the end, Neuer kept his nerves again when he was able to dodge Youssef En-Nesyri’s shot, who was charging towards him alone, with a tremendous save.
Post shot from Seville, Martínez hits
Right at the beginning of the first part of extra time, Munich was lucky. Neuer directed En-Nesyri’s shot against the post and then was able to clear with a final effort in front of the attacker. Bayern still had more possession of the ball, but the Spaniards did not let run or fight and defended their goal almost with sacrifice. And yet the Munich team achieved another success.
After a corner, Javi Martínez, who had recently been replaced by Flick, scored Munich’s 2-1 with a header.
Sevilla tried to force a draw in the second half of extra time, but Munich prevented it with luck and skill and carried the success over time, to another international triumph.
