September’s 3:0 victory at the Camp Nou was the Magnum Opus of Nagelsmann’s early weeks in charge. The Catalan’s failed to register a single shot on target, held an xG of 0.2, and lost the possession battle at home for the first time in the Champions League in almost two years.
The visitor’s 3rd goal was the crowning achievement of the night, with collective final third pressure forcing a turnover deep in Barcelona’s half. A fantastic run from Gnabry and solid positioning from Lewandowski saw the ball find the net just 9 seconds after possession was won.
