What happened? Did Giannichedda get owned by the pitch again?
Hard to do it justice but I'll try.
Emerson is on the right wing. Under very little pressure but with few options available to make a pass. He tries to float it across to Thuram, fairly simple pass, but gets it completely wrong and sends it over to the right wing area.
Thuram belts it at 100mph to the right wing and amazingly just keeps it in play. Embarassment over, or so it seemed.
Thuram then comes under a bit of pressure from the Bayern left winger, and starts to slowly turn around to face his own goal and walk back with the ball. Under more pressure now but he seems to think he can just shrug the guy off or he'll go away after a few minutes. It doesn't happen and he's forced into a backpass. Again this should be a simple pass but he completely misjudges it, both overhitting it and putting it too far away from the goalie.
Abbiati then comes out and spoons it into the stands
which pretty much sums up our night.
Zlatan just planted an awesome DDT on some Bayern player btw
