Match
on 13 Mar 2012
Nou Camp Stadium
UEFA Champions League
Goals: Robben 10’, Muller 41’, Gomez 44’, Gomez
50’, Gomez 61’, Gomez 76’, Robben 81’
Mario Gomez proved one more time he is an
indispensable factor in the German club by scoring 4 consecutive goals by
himself.
This was a sweet revenge for Bayern after an
embarrassed loss of 1-0 to Basel a month ago.
The victory also eliminated the threat of an
exit from the Champions League and reinforced Bayern Munich position in the
game according to SBS (2012).
Basel coach Heiko Vogel’s strategy was getting
a draw rather than on the aggressive side. Well, Bayern gave a clear answer
right at the 10th minute when Robben scored the first goal for his team by
giving a strong blast from what seemed like an off-side position facing the
goalkeeper, to the low right corner.
Then just before the break, Muller, with help
from Robben from the right hand side, delivered a swift volley in the 16m50
area, raising the lead to 2-0.
Just 3 minutes later, Mario Gomez, being the
fastest as usual, with a soft push, opened the first of his
four-consecutive-goals in the game. On the field, it was obvious that Bayern
was clearly dominating the game with 3 other players being present in the 16m50
area.
Then after the break, it was Gomez again; this
time with a beautiful volley that was similar to Muller’s.
At
the 61th minute, Gomez completed a hat-trick by his head thanks to exceptional
performance of Ribery.

Perhaps the most fantastic goal came at the
76th minute. Here the ball was passing into the 16m50, suddenly Ribery
intervened to cut through its path and passed it back to his teammate, Gomez,
who were racing from outside the 16m50 with no one around. And of course, Gomez
completed his show by giving a fierce shot to defeat Basel goalkeeper.
Near the end of the match, Robben scored the
second goal for himself by skillfully leading the ball pass through Basel
goalkeeper before delivering a finishing touch.
