Bayern Munich vs. FC Barcelona, 4-0

Was it Robbery or were we just Mannschafted?

Full disclosure: Between work and lousy livestreams, I only got to watch bits and pieces of the match. I managed to miss all four goals, although I hear rumors that one, possibly more, should have been ruled offside. I also read something about two penalties not given, although I don't know whether they would have been in our favor or not. What I did see was hard pressing by Bayern, very little penetration by our forwards, including Messi playing as a false 9 when clearly neither Alexis nor Pedro was going to provide a goal, and Jordi Alba losing his shit and throwing the ball in Robben's face. So those of you who actually caught the action, wtf happened out there? And can I blame Pique's hair?

Pique went with a shaved head and week's growth of beard. He looked gruesome.

I think that this shot might have been taken near the end of the match. Messi looked like he might start blubbering, like he did at last year's semifinal against Chelsea, but he managed to hold it together until he got past the cameras.
