Outnumbered, mental superiority

The rage of Sofiane Feghouli when the ball crashed into the net of 'paralocasitodo' Neuer is the neat picture of what was experienced last night at the Mestalla. That moment, that butterfly for a moment crossed the stomach of Valencian supporters, I had not looked out of the city of Valencia. Goose bumps, hair-raising. And a goal that, although three minutes was neutralized by Bayern, the coliseum stood che when the referee pointed to the conclusion of the stake. The cramps of some players, lying on the green, ratified wear and exhausting work that meant playing against Champions League runners-up with a player less from the 32nd minute when a braking past Barragan swept away to Alaba.

The Valencia knew minutes before the match was one of the qualifiers for the knockout stages. The Lille, on his visit to Belarus, had seen to give a hand to men Mauricio Pellegrino dedicating the first win in the competition. With the less common and no pressure to be seen outside their games after scoring defeats, moved to BATE That imperative to overcome, something that weighed like a millstone, leading him to have to settle for the Europa League. The French even that: should have scored three goals and added three points in the last game against Valencia in a fortnight. Were content to keep his locker immaculate triumphs and, incidentally, helped in the classification of Levantine and Bavarians.

With first place at stake, with news of the sticks and Parejo Guaita in midfield, plus behind Soldier Banega detriment of Jonas, the best weapon employed was the nerve Valencia. He played one on one giant Teutonic, but if a play marked the evolution of the duel was Barragan who starred on the half hour. In an improper delirium, when he was warned by a card received thirteen minutes earlier, when locomotive rolled, Alaba visitors. Red very direct prompting the local technical readjust their lines, placing Feghouli momentarily on the side decimated while Victor Ruiz warming in the band. What seemed accidental movement became one of the best decisions of the Argentine ...

The outnumbered came seconds after one of the best offensive plays of Valencia: Soldier took a pass from Tino Costa millimeter, tried to cut into the area and the rebound that allowed spat behind Feghouli Neuer did intervene. The Algerian, however, so well adapted to their new demarcation that Pellegrino and entered his head usher in a defense. Meanwhile, Guaita, likely starter in any team, pulled his mittens ride whenever I needed German occasions. Ribery, Dante or Pizarro could attest to that. No fine was Jupp Heynckes team considering that the award was the first place in the group, which still occupied and the game played many early swords.

After the break the Valencia continued his tessitura optimistic because playing short-handed, but mental superiority. So serious was smiling back and up. Causing boredom of Munich, who were choked theorist tasteful dish. Guaita followed in line soldier well and he failed in a one on one with Neuer where his forehand went too high. It was a second time with great girl, and in which almost short however Mandžukić first cod. Croatian striker sent a shot timber with the head after a cross from Shaqiri. Both had jumped into the turf in the second half, and after Mario Gomez would. With all the aces in their places, Bayern kept face ... that, in the 77 '.

Saved forced a kick in the Mestalla claimed that the second yellow Dante. The known Howard Webb did not interpret it that way, but put the ball to the pot would be responsible Tino Costa. The Argentine saw his execution as the cut Lahm and the rebound fell to defender Feghouli feet that shook coming from behind first pressure Ribery made ​​a Schweinsteiger broken, then a tattered to Badstuber and the sinister his leg less good kicking completed jugadón Dante's hand, which, with the hair, disoriented and caused madness Neuer in Valencia. The crash that caused the goal of 'Puma' was not even comparable to the silence that could cause the subsequent stage both Muller equalized, while still celebrating a deserved 1-0.

The equalizer came after a cross from the right Lahm who paced the Valencia area until an oversight in Feghouli own brand, which is obviously apologized, Müller allowed to hit and beat Guaita, who this time could do nothing. No Pellegrino threw in the towel, even stripped to input Saved Valdez. With an attacking trio negligible given the circumstances, the preparer che showed their courage, but the score and would not move over. Soldier forced yellow allowing you to reach the knockout card clean and Mestalla ended up surrendering to mental and physical deployment of some players who exchanged cheers with the fans. It was not any point. It was a point of courage.
