Barcelona’s Dani Alves has refused to admit that Bayern Munich are the superior side after the Germans won their Champions League semi-final clash 7-0 on aggregrate.
The Bavarians snatched three goals on the break at the Camp Nou and will now face compatriots Borussia Dortmund in the final.
But Alves refused to admit that Barcelona’s reign at the top of club football is over and cited the competition’s penchant for surprises as the reason for their exit.
“I do not think that Bayern are better than Barcelona per se. But they were better this time around and deservedly made it to the final. We were not at our best and that shows at this level,” Alves told reporters.
“The only thing left for us is simply to salute them and congratulate them. Bayern have a great team. They had their chances and they took them clinically.
“It’s just another indication that this great tournament continuously makes you face the most powerful rivals. We played with a lot of intensity tonight but we didn’t score and that’s been the difference in this leg.”
